Unfortunately, I’ve stopped caring, since I’m not really watching the show as much. Or maybe it’s a fortunate thing, since I have less invested in these peeps emotionally than I did about ten months ago. In any case, we’ve had a pretty bumpy relationship, me and “Grey’s Anatomy.” And now, TMZ (who, incidentally, I’m sure have the power get their hands on my pap smear results, should they ever choose to do so…) are now reporting that Isaiah Washington’s release from the ABC drama has been confirmed.

Washington’s rep, Howard Bragman, confirmed this evening to TMZ that “Grey’s” creator Shonda Rhimes called Isaiah today and told him he would not be invited back to the show next season. TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello, who first broke the story, reports that the decision was due only in part to Washington’s on-set troubles, and was a result of a “pattern of problematic behavior.”

Dang. And we’re OFF TO REHAB! What? That doesn’t apply here? I’m so confused. I thought rehab could fix anything. I’ve recently been using it to unclog my drains. Isn’t it like…magic, or something?
