WHAT THE HELL
Brooke Smith axed from Grey's Anatomy. No more Hahn.
ABC is really pissing me off. This is getting rediculous!
Here's an article from PEOPLE TV WATCH about it:
The romance is over for Brooke Smith’s character on Grey’s Anatomy: the actress has abruptly been written out of the hit medical drama.
Smith, whose character Dr. Erica Hahn had just begun a lesbian affair with Sara Ramirez’s Dr. Callie Torres on the ABC show, told EW.com that Grey’s creator Shonda Rhimes “just suddenly told me that they couldn’t write for my character anymore.” Adds Smith, “it was the last thing I expected.”
Smith’s last Grey’s appearance will be Thursday’s episode, but don’t expect any closure for her character. “My final scene is just me heading to my car,” says Smith. “I honestly don’t know what happens in the next episode.”
So what caused Smith’s sudden exit? “I don’t think I’m ever really going to know,” says Smith, who received praise from producers after her scene in last week’s episode where Hahn realizes she is gay. But soon after, she got the bad news. “I was really, really shocked. I was floored when they told me.”
Rhimes denied that the decision had anything to do with Smith’s gay storyline. In a statement to EW.com, she said: “Brooke Smith was obviously not fired for playing a lesbian,” adding “Unfortunately, we did not find that the magic and chemistry with Brooke’s character would sustain in the long run.”
BS! Anyone else notice they axed the transgendered Alexis from Ugly Betty as well? But that's not all, no it gets even worse. This was posted on a Grey's message board:
"I've just spoken with a contact at AfterEllen.com and she is confirming that Brooke Smith is not the only one being let go. Apparently Sara Ramirez will be exiting at roughly episode 15 or 16 and they're jockeying for an interview with her."
What. the. hell. ABC.
There's been a bunch of articles about all of this, so if you want to search for more info on it you're sure to find some. But there's this thing called Hope4Hahn here on livejournal I'm looking into, and there's this petition I've just signed trying to get Erica back on the show:
