Grey’s Anatomy., ABC gets upset with NBC for hiring Isaiah Washington
Unfortunately they just won’t leave Isaiah Washington alone, will they? Isaiah Washington was let go from the hit show Grey’s Anatomy and now has sparked a few words between the heads of ABC & NBC. Last week, new NBC president Ben Silverman spoke to Isaiah about hiring him for a six-episode arc on NBC’s new show BIONIC WOMAN
Silverman was shocked to hear that ABC fired Isaiah Washington, stating that he had started talking with the actor “before he became available.”
Ben Silverman continued to say that Isaiah Washington told him he was available & he shot back with “YOU ARE?” He didn’t understand what he meant. He said you are a huge star on a star television show. “I don’t quite understand what had gone on there.”
This drew the fury of ABC president Steve McPherson, who said if Silverman was talking to Isaiah Washington before he was available, that’s inducement to breach. “So I don’t know, he’s either clueless or stupid.” Regarding Washington being fired, McPherson added, “Was he living in a cave?”
It is apparent to me that Silverman was trying to get Washington to star in a six-episode arc for NBC. He wanted to let Isaiah Washington know that they are behind him all the way. What I don’t understand is, if ABC let him go, why is McPherson so upset? You didn’t want him, so let him move on to other things. Even though Isaiah Washington’s contract is for a six episode turn doesn’t mean they can’t extend it later. So lets see what happens with Isaiah Washington? Are you his fan?? Watch him on the new NBC show BIONIC WOMAN. Check out NBC’s website for Bionic Woman
