Isaiah Washington's tenure in the hospital may be over!

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.

"Grey's Anatomy is bigger than just one actor," an insider tells the magazine. "It's about the ensemble and Isaiah threatens that chemistry."

The National Enquirer, who broke the brawl story last week, backs up In Touch's reporting.

"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."

Fire him!!

Washington has not even properly apologized for grabbing Dempsey by the throat and pushing him during the on-set fight he instigated. And, he has yet to address his homophobic remarks.

Eric LaSalle would be an excellent replacement!!

Better yet, just get rid of Burke altogether. Have him leave Seattle Grace without Cristina's knowledge, which would not only give Cristina a good storyline, but might even let Sandra Oh rightfully take home an Emmy.

laSalle kicked ass on ER from what I remembered; he'd be good.

But I see Denzell Washington being the ultimate choice.

What?!? They are getting rid of him cause he's gay???? Oh man, how cruel the world can be these days. WHO CARES!!!

...? Correct me if I'm being too stupid to understand what you mean or sense your sarcasm, but George (T.R. Knight) is the gay one, and he has a full contract for Grey's Anatomy. It's Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington), a heterosexual, who's job is at stake.

A replacement? I hate when they do these things. Isaiah IS Burke, he can't be replaced. If they want him out, find a way to make Burke leaves Seattle Grace then, period.

Lol. Um, you should read a little more carefully... he's being fired because he made homophobic remarks (among other things) not because hes homosexual (which he isn't).

That would be the smartest way to handle the dismissal of Washington should it happen. Just replacing him with someone else is way too soapy and by having him leave Cristina would get a lot more Emmy-worthy (since we know Katee Sackinoff or Trisha Helfer will never be acknowledged although the first four eps of Battlestar is more brill than the rest of the telly).

Yeah, get rid of his character altogether.

I thought he was a nice person,,but he's NOT.
They need to replace him indeed,,or he should
apologize and never do it again...

BTW what is the real name of Addison??

The actress is Kate Walsh.
The character WAS known as Addison Montgomery-Shepherd, but now the Shepherd has been dropped because of the divorce with Derek.

Hope that answers...

Yess!!
Thank you Sokker

Also known as Kate 'Super Hot and Beautiful' Walsh. I completly love her.

get rid of him he sucks anyway
