Isaiah Washington is returning to Grey’s Anatomy — but how?
ABC
ABC announced on March 7 that Isaiah Washington would bring his character, Dr. Preston Burke, back to Grey's Anatomy, seven years after he was fired following a series of headline-making altercations with the cast — most notably with the then-closeted T.R. Knight, around whom Washington was accused of intentionally making anti-gay remarks.
Washington's return is scheduled to air this May, coinciding with the impending exit of Cristina Yang, played by Sandra Oh. In a statement, Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes said, "It's important to me that Cristina's journey unfolds exactly as it should. Burke is vital to that journey — he gives her story that full-circle moment we need to properly say goodbye to our beloved Cristina Yang."
The announcement was met with mixed results, given the lingering ickiness many fans still feel toward Washington despite repeated mea culpas and his participation in several GLAAD-backed events. (For their part, GLAAD praised the actor's return.)
No matter how you feel about Washington, the question now becomes: How does Burke return to Cristina, and what role does he play in the beloved doctor's send-off?
Given how notoriously secretive Rhimes is about upcoming plotlines, no further information about the character's return was available. So we made some educated guesses.
