GREY’S ANATOMY: Isaiah Washington to Return for an Episode

Former GREY’S ANATOMY star Isaiah Washington (Burke), who was infamously fired after feuding with fellow cast members, will return to the ABC drama for an episode this May, The Hollywood Reporter reports.

His return comes as GREY’S ANATOMY original cast member Sandra Oh (Cristina), Washington’s on-screen love interest, preps to leave the series at the end of the season.

“It’s important to me that Cristina’s journey unfolds exactly as it should,” GREY’S ANATOMY creator Shonda Rhimes said in a statement to THR. “Burke is vital to that journey — he gives her story that full-circle moment we need to properly say goodbye to our beloved Cristina Yang.”

So…anyone else completely shocked by this?
