After months of speculation, it was announced that Isaiah Washington will not be returning to Grey's Anatomy. Howard Bragman, Washington's publicist, has released a statement from the actor saying: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more."
The cast was notified Thursday night of the final decision.
The actor had been under fire since an onsite altercation with co-star Patrick Dempsey. During the incident, Washington used a homophobic slur towards castmate R.R. Knight. Washington later apologized, spent a stint in rehab, met with gay leaders, and made a public service announcement against the use of hate speech.
Rumors of the exit of Dr. Burke from Seattle Grace have been running wild following the season finale in which the character left his fiancée at their wedding and moved out of their apartment.
