Grey's Anatomy Alumni: Where Are They Now?

The cardio surgeon was basically Cristina's mentor and ended up falling in love with her. The two were very close to walking down the aisle before it all crumbled. The actor's use of a homophobic slur behind the scenes also ruined his chances of staying on the show. His character was written out and Burke left in season three. However he does return for one episode in season 10 to help with Cristina's exit.
