isaiah washington enters "treatment"

Isaiah Washington has entered a treatment facility. This is what sources connected to ABC and Touchstone have confirmed to me, after Life & Style magazine broke the story about an hour ago.

According to my ABC sources, one of the options the higher-ups at ABC/Disney had been considering was to release Washington from the cast of Grey's Anatomy, without giving him a farewell episode. However, I'm told by an insider that Washington agreed to do "whatever it takes" to keep his position at Grey's and to make amends with the gay and lesbian community. He also vowed to seek help for his psychological issues—hence, his entry into a treatment facility this morning.

there's also statements from shonda, isaiah and the president of glaad. i personally think it's lame - he's going into counseling to learn to not be an arrogant, homophobic douchebag? that sounds like a personality flaw to me, not a psychological issue. :x they should fire his ass.

thoughts?

I think Grey's Anatomy could best serve the public entertainment by exploding. The show itself is mediocre. The fact that it won the GG for Best Drama is eye-rolling (at best). Yes, it's in its heyday, but it's only going to get soapier and more melodramatic from here on in. Obviously it needs to go down in a big giant flaming ball of controversy and infighting. That would rule.

This will not happen. Alas.

oh god, alas is right. i definitely cursed when it won best drama, and i used to watch it. and love it. but i swear it got progressively more ridiculous every week until i finally gave up at the end of last season.

i think they should give burke a big gay storyline. with lots of big gay sex and big gay making out and big gay opression. he sucks so fully.
