Do not read any further is you do not want to know what happens on this weeks episode of Grey's Anatomy.
It's been announced that Dr Erica Hahn will be leaving Seattle Grace for good this Thursday. Brook Smith (Hanh) spoke to Entertainment Weekly:
I was very excited when they told me that Erica and Callie were going to
have this relationship. And I really hoped we were going to show what happens
when two women fall in love and that they were going to treat it like any
heterosexual couple on TV. And so I was surprised and disappointed when they
just suddenly told me that they couldn't write for my character anymore.
Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes released this statement:
"Brooke Smith was obviously not fired for playing a lesbian. Clearly it's not an
issue as we have a lesbian character on the show – Calliope Torres. Sara Ramirez
is an incredible comedic and dramatic actress and we wanted to be able to play
up her magic. Unfortunately, we did not find that the magic and chemistry with
Brooke's character would sustain in the long run. The impact of the Callie/Erica
relationship will be felt and played out in a story for Callie. I believe it
belittles the relationship to simply replace Erica with 'another lesbian.' If
you'll remember, Cristina mourned the loss of Burke for a full season."
Brooke will be replaced by actress Mary McDonnell. McDonnell will play Dr. Virginia Dixon, a socially awkward cardiac genius with Asperger's.
I couldn't stand this chick's character so I don't care but maybe you do, so there you have it.

I was interested to see what they were going to do but I did not like her character either...I didn't feel the chemistry there with them...
I felt the chemistry but this new character sounds really interesting.
Hate this chick as well - good kick her off.. and im sorry Callie was all pissed off at George when he cheated on her?? (yes i know they were married) but than she sleeps with Mcsteamy (who would haha) and tells her g/f Erica like its all ok ??
