E!Online's TV guru Kristin Veitch is reporting that Isaiah Washington may just get fired for his recent f-bombs. Despite his meeting with GLAAD-type leaders and promising to film those "The More You Know" segments, Kristin says:Yikes. Of course, the writers are probably freaking out about this development (if it's true). How would they just make him disappear w/o allowing him to be in a farewell episode? I think they should just deal with it, as long as he just keeps his mouth shut and maintains professionalism. Why should we, Grey's fans, suffer through a sudden change in the plot? On the other hand, if T.R. Knight is uncomfortable or feels threatened (Washington did choke Dempsey) then ABC has an obligation to take immediate action.I just received word from a highly placed source within the Touchstone/ABC family that one option ABC and Disney executives are considering is firing Isaiah Washington from Grey's Anatomy, effective immediately, without having him appear in any kind of farewell episode.
According to this reliable source, if the network does follow through with this option, the producers are likely to run a full-screen announcement at the beginning of the first Burke-less episode that announces Isaiah Washington is no longer part of the show.

Sounds like a publicity stunt.
Shocking! Maybe they'll kill him off or something. Or maybe have him be a "Doctors Without Borders" doctor and have him fly to Panama. I think it's quite likely that they're going to get rid of him, though. If they did, it would be a PR move more than anything else.
