I think this is going to be one of those huge news stories no one will be able to avoid, but this is a casting spoiler, so be warned! (And Pat, think of the possibilities!)



'Grey's' Washington 'Mad as Hell' About Being Dropped

Star's Contract Not Being Renewed

Isaiah Washington will not be scrubbing in for surgery at Seattle Grace Hospital next season and he is not a happy camper.

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore," Washington said in a statement released through his publicist, Howard Bragman.

ABC announced it will not be renewing the contract of the troubled actor.

The move was confirmed by two sources with knowledge of the situation, one of whom said, "It was a difficult year and this should come as no surprise to anyone."

Officials at ABC Television Studio, which produces "Grey's Anatomy," declined comment.

I'd wondered if that was the plan when he disappeared at the end of the last ep. I guess I was right.

On the bright side, there's now an opening in the cast, perfect for Peter and fulfilling the wish of pat_t and me! 'Cus it's all about us!

I'm surprised he's surprised. But yes, you were obviously right. He's gone and now there's room for Peter.

But with Addison gone, doesn't that leave him open to end up as another one of Meredith's interims? Which would lead to him disappearing at the end of the year like the vet... I liked the vet.

They should bring in another actress to play a new female attending, so that could work.

Oh, yes, that would work. Maybe a younger attending, or maybe someone halfway between Miranda and Addison.

As long as you're suggesting it (snicker) it's a new character for you to write! (runs and hides before someone smites her for suggestion)

I think my brain would crash if Peter got a role on Grey's. I already write Methos/Grey's. New Peter character on Grey's would be a little much as far as fic goes!

[dejla.livejournal.com]

*snicker* So you just need to do more Methos/Grey's. When you have room in your copious spare time.

Yeah, it's on my list. Even if I could finish that one WIP I have going, I'd be happy. Need to get my DVDs back from Mischief so I can marathon the first half of S3 and get in the mood and refresh my memory.

If they cast Peter, I would watch Grey's...

[robi-travels.livejournal.com]

I'll second that.

Damn straight! Send a copy of this to Pete's agent stat! He can be the new Cardio-thoracic surgeon. Straight from London. Cute nose and all *g*

Well, the Grey's people have known for a while they were letting IW go, and Peter has been home recently [g]
