Burke Backer
January 24th, 2007 7:31 PM
Every night when I get home from work I dread going on line, afraid that I am going to read that ABC has succumbed to pressure from a rabid public who are out to crucify this man. To me that would be the worst possible thing that they can do, because it would be like trying him by public opinon rather than by the facts of the situation which only they truly know. Losing Burke would ruin the show for me and many others. Isaiah is going to great lengths to show that he is sincerely sorry for offending anyone. Still you read posts that he is only doing it for this reason or that reason. I still believe it was unintentional. I still maintain that TR made the situation far more serious than it needed to be by going to the press. But I am so grateful that as of this moment we still have a Preston Burke who is in love with Cristina Yang to watch on Thursday night. So I'll read the unkind posts and the vicious attacks on him and continue to love the character and respect and like the m

I also agree that it's not Shonda's fault. It's not like she MADE him say it, i will still watch it if Burke isn't there, but it won't be the same "Grey's Anatomy" that i love!

ok, i agree..let us not make Rhimes responsible for his action.
And let us not blow this whole thing out of proportion.
But I know I won't be watching the show if he is gone..

Personally, I think Ms. Rhimes laughed out of nervousness.
Let's not make her responsible for his actions, please.

He won't get canned, and he shouldn't be. Still it won't change the fact that he is one lying SOB. Let's give it up for another round of name calling

i love Dr Preston Burke, and IW is the right person playing it...I don't care if IW is a racist, or a sexist or whatever...He is not my idol..and he certainly hold no moral authority over me. I just want some good television on TV that is all...if IW is fired, I am quitting the SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Shonda should have handled it more approriately in October when it first happened..she should have just told him "You know, I cannot let this ever happen again, whether on set ,or in the press room...if you do this again, you will get fired and it will be hard for me to save your ass". And I can't believe she laughed when IW made that faggot comment at Golden Globe. Who is holding Shonda responsible?
