Topic: Burke wont be back for season 4
Since Isaiah Washington - who plays Burke - called T.R. Knight - who plays George - more than once a faggot, although Washington denied it, ABC decided recently not to renew Washingtont's contract for season 4. So the last thing we've seen from Burke was running away from his own wedding and leaving Christina. Let's see how season 4 will start and coping with that fact

Re: Burke wont be back for season 4
For those who really liked Isaiah Washington in Grey's Anatomy, like me, and want's to see more of him, He's now playing Jamies boss ( if I remember it right. ) in Bionic Woman. If you haven't already noticed that.

Re: Burke wont be back for season 4
i wonder if that rumor about Washington is true and if Knight, plays the manifestation of innocence and harmlessness, the guy who always got beaten up in highschool, has kicked him out of the cast... must be a bummer for washington who obviously feels so masculine and strong

Re: Burke wont be back for season 4
Burke vanishing has left a noticeable hole, and is a shame. My guess is Knight isn't angelically innocent in the matter. This and Addison leaving (although the spin-off has potential), and my opinion of Katherine Heigl lessening after the crap Knocked Up (many seem to like, I don't) and questionable The Ringer; have left me feeling worried about a programme that in Season 3 especially, I thought was the best TV of the year.

Re: Burke wont be back for season 4
It's does leave a hole in the series that Burke is gone, but personally I think it is good that the network put its foot down and got him out of there. Because even if let's say T.R. Knight provoked him in any way, it's still not OK to use that word. If it would have been the other way round (and Knight had called Washington the n.word) there would have been no doubt a much bigger outcry. but back to the season: I like Izzie more again this season, because she seemingly has found her brain again over the summer months. but the thought of her and george still makes me gag. that is just so wrong on so many levels. I say Callie and Izzie should both get rid of him... and maybe get it on themselves (ooops, very wishful thinking basically the most annoying thing about grey's anatomy is still meredith, and as long as that is the case I am fine watching.

Re: Burke wont be back for season 4
what you got against George!!! I think he's ace! Altho 100% agree with you on meredith...girl needs some serious amounts of therapy. Her emotional hang ups are so annoying and the way she is treating her sister is a disgrace...I wouldn't want to know someone who treated a person that way!

Re: Burke wont be back for season 4
well, I really didn't want Washington to leave, and altough I totaly agree that you should stand up for gay rights and all that, but it was really not necessary for one to be thrown out. I don't think Knight was innocent in the matter either. and really, why make the show suffer for some really idiotic things that's been said. people are stupid, and people fight. but work is still work, and I always hate when the actors leave the best shows. btw, thanks homers.

Re: Burke wont be back for season 4
SERIOUSLY! Addison's in L.A., in a small "Private Practice". The show hasn't exactly swept me off my feet yet, but I'll give it a chance. Episode three airs today/will be online tomorrow if you still want to start watching, tindrande meredith and mcdreamy --> *snore* I'm totally with you on that, tindrande, these people need to get a grip. I miraculously do understand part of meredith's behaviour towards lexi though: I don't think I'd want a constant reminder that my father decided to leave my family and have a new one. On the other hand lexi is just as lost: she has recently lost her mother and from what I gather their father has an inclination to drink. @sensei: what bugs me about george is that he's fucking his marriage up. I like Izzie a lot, but I don't like the idea of her and george together. I like Callie O'Malley. They were good together. Callie falling apart now could be a great story though considering how much I enjoy Sara Ramirez' acting. Overall: More Miranda. More pissed Miranda. She is truly hilarious when she starts snapping at everyone. It's been a long time since she stared anyone down, hasn't it?

Re: Burke wont be back for season 4
Okay. oh, ofcourse. I still love greys, I've been lost in that show since the first episode. I'm totaly just like Izzie on stuff like love, always have been and always will be, wich soo totaly irritates me for so many reasons. and yet I'm just as wierd as meredith for most of the time. can't think or do anything that's not wicked and complicated. So, as I relate to the show and have a crush on Mc.Dreamy, I'll never stop watching the show even when it becomes total shit. ( if it does, don't think it will though. ) and as you can see, I can't ever stop talking when I should. like meredith.. + I agree with you on both the meredith/sister/father thing and the Miranda matter. I miss her naziness.

Re: Burke wont be back for season 4
So, I've just watched three episodes of Private Practice, 120 minutes, and it really wasn't a waste of time at all, I already thought it seemed good when they started showing "the LA practice" in greys. but I just didn't think they would make a new show of it. I totally love it, and I'm already hooked! Sometimes, like greys anatomy, some shows just give me this high. like when something is so incredibly sad ( and I ofcourse, are a total cryer when that happens.. ) or an actor really just makes his moneys worth in a scene.. well I don't know how to explain it. I just get this amazing feeling in my body, when the show is soo good that I actually shiver, when I really feel for the people in it, when they can get you to relate to something, that has never happened to you, but still you understand so well what it must feel like. God, it sounds sooo stupid when I say it out loud.. But I just, I feel like they get it. maybe people here, in my town, the people I know. maybe they don't freakin' get anything, but at least someone does. obviously the one who wrote it, and hopefully the actors gets it, and even if they don't, at least they can pretend, and deliver the feeling.. all the way from USA to Sweden. That's the shows you get addicted to. that's the shows you truly love. Seriously.

Re: Burke wont be back for season 4
it's funny how we watch the show for different things You guys seem hung up on who's going to hook up with hoom. I just watch it for how delightfully dysfunctional Meridith is. And everybody else too, btw. It's a breath of fresh air Private Practice is going place. I sort of like it. Allison is hot and that helps a ton

Re: Burke wont be back for season 4
I'm watching Private Practice mainly for addison (kate walsh is just too hot. something about redheads... oh my!) and for the cases (the blue girls and the vagina woman - great frickin cases!). grey's anatomy I watch because I enjoy miranda, callie and christina mostly. and also because there is a certain disfunctionality to all grey's characters and hence a lot of sarcasm. but I'm definitely not watching for the hook-ups. btw, arashi: it's aDDison
