Isaiah Washington Out?


Yesterday we told you that T.R. Knight, who plays George on Grey's Anatomy, is still waiting to find out if he will be back next season. Today, US Magazine is reporting that trouble maker Isaiah Washington will not be back. Still in hot water after using a slur toward T.R., US is quoting a 'source close to ABC',

"He will not be back as a series regular. He could possibly show up for a few episodes" next season.
However, Washington's rep disputes the report saying,

"Isaiah is not off the show. We do not have a contract yet, but we expect to."

So, they don't have a contract so they don't know for sure, but they are not disputing the idea of Washington possibly only doing a few guest spots. That solution makes sense to me given how the season finale had his character leave Christina at the alter and cleared out of their apartment.
US goes on to quote a 'Grey's source' saying,

"The cast - especially the women - just don't like him."

Hmmm, that's a pretty big statement. Katherine Heigl has made her feelings clear, but I'm not sure I'm willing to believe that no one likes him. Although, he did make an ass out of himself so anything is possible.
