Ellen Pompeo Reacts to Isaiah Washington News

Though Ellen Pompeo was on Ryan Seacrest’s morning radio show on Friday to discuss her charity work, there was no escaping talk of her Isaiah Washington’s shocking dismissal from Grey’s Anatomy.

Pompeo also touched on Katherine Heigl’s summer movie success and Grey’s storylines for next year, but the good stuff came when Seacrest asked her about Washington and T.R. Knight’s fates. Here are those highlights:

Damage Control On Isaiah Washington’s departure:
“I got a call late last night from my lawyer…and I woke up this morning and saw it…that’s really all I know. I really can’t comment on my reaction.”

On whether she knew anything in advance:
“No. They’re very secretive about things, for obvious reasons. I guess actors have big mouths. So I didn’t really know what would happen, if anything. It’s not really my business…You just have to roll with the punches.”

On word that T.R. Knight has signed a contract to return:
“I certainly hope so. It’s such an ensemble. The show works, I think, because all of us have such great chemistry together.”
