How are you all feeling about this craziness? I'm so confused and torn about how I feel!
As angry as I am at Isaiah for saying what he said, I'm concerned what's going to happen the show. I know that some groups are asking for fans to protest ABC and the show and Isaiah will most likely be fired. My obsession with the show and the Dr. Burke character is obviously taking over here, but I don't want him to leave! How could he? Would he be killed off in true primetime drama form? Egads!
On the other hand, what he said (specifically because he said it about a castmate) would call for immediate firing in any other workplace. Just because he's a main character on an incredibly successful show doesn't mean he can get away with this kind of thing. It's disgraceful and perhaps firing him would lead to more tolerance and awareness in this country. I hate the word that he used and I can't imagine saying it, EVER, much less repeatedly. I am always saddened when I hear "random joe's" use it but it was horrendous when he said it on television at such a popular event. It's just not okay in my book.
When it comes down to it, I think I'd be okay with sacrificing one of my favorite television characters in hopes of more equality for homosexuals in this country. Fire away, ABC.

Perhaps Isaiah's punishment was no talking (appropriate for the immature man he seems to be). Is that why he and Christina haven't spoken to each other in the past two episodes? I would like to think so. I can't imagine that a real couple would ever voluntarily stoop to such ridiculousness.
And maybe the hospital bed to which Isaiah has been confined is the time-out chair. I mean, bed. Whatever.
