I am going through Mc-drawal. I am so sick of boring TV. I can't wait for the drama to continue. I just hope this season is better than last season. Will it be the same without Burke?

T.R. Knight, a.k.a. the lovable George O'Malley, is expected to return as a series regular. Speculation has been swirling about his possible departure from Seattle Grace -- not only because of what happened in the May 17 finale (George didn't pass the intern exam!) but because of the incident earlier this season with co-star Isaiah Washington (who addressed him with a homophobic slur). According to one insider close to the negotiation, Knight has agreed to a new contract that will boost his per-episode salary to roughly $125,000 and give him a small piece of the show profits (pay hikes and profit points were also granted to many of Knight's co-stars, including Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo, and Sandra Oh).

I just joined this site, so forgive me if this was previously coverd, I looked over past messages and didn't learn much...does anyone know what Grey's actors did NOT renew their contracts? I guess mainly I am wondering about Isaiah, there was alot of speculation after his controversy this year but I never heard for sure. I hope he stays.

Oh my God! Brilliant! Purely Brilliant! Penis fish. I totally have one of those. The metaphorical one.....I don't have a penis, but I do have someone that is my penis fish. I just never had a name for it and now...thanks to Shonda....I do. The season may not be the greatest, but at least I have a term for my slut. Thanks Shonda!

I love Thursdays thanks to Grey's Anatomy. I know the Isaiah Washington thing is getting old, but could the show be as good without his character?
