Seriously? Seriously?!  

1 talk backs

This is such a load of crap, but I am posting it here because it may cause ripples in the show's future. Why can't Isaiah just move on? Ugh. Seriously?! "Thanks" to TVGuide.com.

Isaiah Washington, who is currently lensing a movie in New Orleans, reportedly was taken aback to see himself featured (via a newspaper clipping that raises Cristina's barely-there eyebrows) in the spot promoting the May 8 ep of Grey's Anatomy.

Noting that "Isaiah has no plans to go back" to the series, the actor's rep tells TMZ, "We were more than a little surprised that ABC used his likeness in a promo... and indeed advanced his character's storyline." (Dr. Burke is the recipient of an high honor that throws his former fiancée for a loop.) Adds the spokesman, "Mr. Washington's attorney has contacted the Screen Actors Guild and ABC as to the appropriateness of that action."

What next?

    He has moved on. A long time ago. It was ABC who out of the blue decided they wanted to show a photo of Burke in their promo without Isaiah's permission. He is no longer on the show, and while ABC and Shonda owns the character Preston Burke, they sure as hell have no right to use Isaiah's image for promotional use any longer. He has the right to be upset and furthermore, he has the right to whatever compensation such use of his photo entails.
