Isaiah Washington May Get Fired

by Ingrid Diaz on October 20th, 2006

Wow, who would’ve thought that the cast of Grey’s Anatomy would have as much drama in real life as on the show? According to this post over at Perez Hilton, it looks like Washington may in fact be out the hospital doors quite soon.

Producers of ABC’s #1 show, Grey’s Anatomy, are looking to replace the fictional doctor, reports In Touch Weekly.

The cast and crew of the show have been in an uproar after the actor violently threatened co-star Patric “Dr. McDreamy” Dempsey and made homophobic slurs against gay castmate T.R. Knight last week.

Since the incident, In Touch reports that Grey’s Anatomy execs have met with three possible replacements: Fast Lane’s Bill Bellamy, Soul Food star Boris Kodjoe and former E.R. star Eriq LaSalle.

You know, as much as I wouldn’t like to see Dr. Burke booted, I honestly don’t think I can watch a show where I have no respect for the actors behind the roles.

“The melee has set off World War III on the show and may cost Isaiah his job,” an insider tells The Enquirer. “The cast is divided over the shameful event.”

So, what do you think? Should he stay or should he go?

As sad as it makes me, I’d say fire him. No one should have to put up with that crap.
