I miss Burke. Not Washingotn. I can divorce the two in my mind, Burke was a fantastic character. ANd I’m so mad they dis missed HAhn, especially after putting her in the position to reall wreak havoc on Izzy again. ABC really screwed up this time.

While I didn’t mind Burke, I hated his relationship with Cristina, he was far to demanding and controlling.

While I love Hahn, and don’t want her to leave the show, the way they ended her and Callie’s relationship really worked

As a Grey’s watcher… I miss Burke. I don’t miss Isaiah Washington’s attitude. And I personally loved the lesbian storyline… I thought Hahn was a GREAT character, especially last week when Denny came back to bite her and Izzie in the ass.

That said.. Grey’s hasn’t been the same since season 2. It’s gotten better from last year, but it isn’t the same. And Grey’s has already jumped the shark..when they killed Meredith, had her hang out with pole girl, bomb squad guy, Denny, and then her mother, and then oh wait, she isn’t dead.

OMG, Gina! That gave me THE BEST idea!

They should say “OK, we’ll take you back…. but you have to play a gay guy!! Your character comes out of the closet!!”

That would bring back the gay storyline AND put him in a very interesting position of looking homophobic if he turns it down, or confronting his demons if he accepts it.

Can I just reiterate that I think the lesbian storyline is totally shark-jumpy? Why don’t they use gay MEN? I think it’s totally because our society accepts hot lesbians more than gay guys. I find it totally exploitive and like a cheap ratings ploy, and Grey’s canning their storyline was a weak response to the whole Prop 8 debacle.

I would love to see Isaiah come back to the show and interfere with “the thing” that I assume will go on between the new male doctor and Burke’s ex. That would be a great storyline!!!!

“You hate gay people, I hate gay people… lets get something going again!”

Yuck! The show is already treading on thin ice by suddenly eliminating it’s gay storyline (although I would argue using the token hot lesbian storyline is exploitive in and of itself), the last thing they should do is rehire someone who treats gay people like that. What a terrible message that would send.

Not to mention he’s sitting there saying “oh what they did was so bad and disgusting and unfair… and I SO want to be a part of it again!!!!”

This guy makes my skin crawl and I ABSOLUTELY believe he used the slur on set.
