Isaiah Washington Returning to 'Grey's Anatomy' - Find Out Why!

Isaiah Washington will be returning to the hit series Grey’s Anatomy seven years after he was fired from the show.

The 50-year-old actor will be guest starring on an episode of the show this May to help say farewell to Sandra Oh and her character Cristina.

“It’s important to me that Cristina’s journey unfolds exactly as it should,” Shonda Rhimes said in a statement (via THR). “Burke is vital to that journey — he gives her story that full-circle moment we need to properly say goodbye to our beloved Cristina Yang.”

Isaiah was fired from the show for on-set clashes with cast and crew and for the anti-gay remarks he made directed at his then-closeted co-star T.R. Knight.
