On Thursday Isaiah Washington will return to the set of Grey’s Anatomy. This will be his first time back on the set since he entered counseling for making a homophobic slur.
Washington hasn’t been on the set since January 23rd. That was the day before he issued a statement stating he was seeking counseling “as a necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again.”
He didn’t attend the SAG awards ceremony on Sunday and missed picking up his award for Best cast in a Drama.
He’s been the center of controversy since he used a homophobic slur which refered to his costar T.R. Knight, who is gay. He then apologized after heavy criticism. “I appreciate the fact that I have been given this opportunity and I remain committed to transforming my negative actions into positive results, personally and professionally,” he said.
