This is one fan who WILL quit watching if IW is asked to leave. He is the only one who can play Dr. Burke and does so exceptionally. I agree, BB, this has been blown completely out of proportion - these people are coworkers for heavens sake and every now and then coworkers clash - it doesn't mean folks should be calling for his resignation as I heard on my radio station this morning. What is wrong with this world - people make mistakes every now and then.....eveyone needs to get over it and get back to work.

"...for being man enough to apologize, yet again, for one word uttered in anger and not directed at TR or any other gay person."
What planet do you live on? At whom it was directed, Patrick?

Thank you, Isaiah, for being man enough to apologize, yet again, for one word uttered in anger and not directed at TR or any other gay person. I hope that the haters will turn their attention to someone more worthy of that emotion. I don't know if ABC/Touchstone will think it is enough for you to publicly apologize, face your castmates so that they can all tell you how they feel (hopefully you will get your chance to tell them how you feel as well), and seek counseling of some sort for uttereing one word, one time, not directed at anyone gay, and then trying to defend yourself against a constant barrage of gay friendly media. Hopefully you will be able to remain on GA because you are far more than a support character. You are 1/2 of one of the most interesting couples on television and no one else can embody that character the way that you have. You have helped to create him from the start. I hope that anyone who loves this character and respects this actor inspite of one word uttered in anger, one time on a closed set, and not intended to wound or hurt anyone, will put messages on whatever online boards they have access to in support of Isaiah, because there are head hunters out there who have once again blown this whole thing completely out of proportion to what was originally said and done. He needs our support and he certainly has mine.
