I feel like this might be one of the reasons she left Grey's...like maybe she wanted to separate herself from the character so she could do this for herself...

[withoutyoursmil]

She can't have been very happy with what the writers had ultimately done with the bi-sexual character she'd pushed so hard for on the show either.

What do you mean, jw? That Callie's relationship with Penny wasn't properly developed?

[celticshocker]

This may have been a very small factor in her leaving, but she has also produced a movie, is very heavy into advocacy, plus her singing career and doing voiceovers. She knew something had to give and since she had devoted 10 years to Grey's already, I think she thought it was time to do other things. I don't think her being bi had anything to do with her story line as Callie, I'm sure she has known her own sexuality for a very long time and probably those around her as well.

IA. Simply put, I really think she was just tired of being on the show and wanted to spread her wings. A decade is a long time!

[celticshocker]

Yes, it is, especially for an actor. She did leave the door open to come back, so maybe next season if there is some indication JCap doesn't want to continue on the show, maybe bring Callie back to wrap up their story on a positive note?
