Katherine Heigl's on-camera admonition of rage-prone Grey's Anatomy co-star Isaiah Washington backstage at the Golden Globes was the scold her 'round the world, and led directly to the actor checking himself into a career-salvaging stint in gayhab. The actress appeared on Good Morning America this morning, where she described a cautious optimism among her fellow cast members that things seem to be returning back to normal since Dr. McPlays-Well-With-Othersy returned:

"If it were ignored or just brushed under the rug, I would be angrier about it," she said on "Good Morning America. "But he's trying very hard. We're all trying very hard."

Heigl said that the cast usually got along well and that the set felt "like work as usual" now that Washington had returned.

"I, obviously, have been very verbal about all of this, but there isn't a lot going on right now," she said. "We're all hopeful. ... It's a great group of people, and we work really well together. We work really hard, and it's unusual that we do get along as well as we do."

Fans should take some comfort in knowing their favorite horny doctor drama won't be fiddling with its proven chemistry any time soon, which isn't to say they are completely out of the woods: Although Heigl appears to have cooled somewhat since she vouched at the Globes to "use every ounce of energy I have to take you down if you hurt [T.R. Knight's] feelings," in the current on-set atmosphere of heightened sensitivities, all it might take is one poorly chosen rehearsal suggestion from Washington to "take it from the top, T.R." to incite Knight's overly protective big sister to come leaping over the craft services table with a karate kick to Isaiah's head.
