As we all know there is going to be a new Spin off show featuring Kate Walsh, character of Dr. Addison Montgomery. It is reported that some of the other cast members are feeling blindsided and short changed. I assume that they felt that each of them should have been the one to star in there own series. It is reported that the other cast members are now giving Kate the cold shoulder. A source adds that ”Grey’s” star Ellen Pompeo seemed a little bothered; she felt that as the star, she should have been consulted.

Will this cause a rift between some of the cast members? Do you think that they should be upset with Kate or proud of her? Shouldn’t they be happy for there friend?

On other news MSNBC States:

It was rumored that T.R. Knights would exit the show after the actor was the subject of a widely-publicized homophobic slur by a cast mate. He was so upset about the situation and so disgusted about how the situation was handled that he was planning on leaving the show, says a source.

They asked Knights spokeswoman and she said they were not commenting at the moment. She later called back and said that the story was ”Completely one thousand percent false.” The rumor is untrue.

Isaiah Washington started counseling related to his recent homophobic remarks. “With the support of my family and friends, I have begun counseling,” Washington said in a prepared statement. ”I regard this as a necessary step towards understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again. I appreciate the fact that I have been given this opportunity and I remain comitted to transforming my negative actions into positive results, personally and professionally.”

Washington took a break to meet with gay rights activist and offer help in educating the public about the cruelty of such words, an offer the activists called sincere.

Life & Style Weekly has reported that Washington entered a residential treatment facility on Jan. 24. It was not clear if he would miss work over this. We aren’t sure if this is an inpatient or outpatient treatment.

Washington used the word ”fagot” on-set while arguing with another cast mate, Patrick Dempsey, about cast mate T.R. Night, who later announced he was gay. This became a problem later on again after the Golden Globes, when Washington denied the allegations. Washington issued an apology after he was publicly criticized by GLAAD and chastised by ABC.

Washington met Monday with gay rights activists who said he agreed to help educate the public about the cruelty of such language.

“He seemed very sincere in his interest in working with us in an ongoing basis,” said Kevin Jennings, executive director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. “We emphasized that this is not a one-shot deal, but an ongoing thing. He was very open to doing this.”
