Brooke Smith Booted From Grey’s Anatomy

Brooke Smith Booted From Grey’s Anatomy

Grey’s Anatomy star Brooke Smith, aka Dr. Erica Hahn, has been abruptly pulled from the hit medical drama, reports EW.

In fact, this Thursday is her final episode. Does it have anything to do with her character being involved with Dr. Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez), Grey’s first-ever significant gay couple?

But of course. The mag reports ABC “had issues with both the explicit direction Callica (Callie and Erica) was taking and, more importantly, with the Hahn character in general.”

Read the exclusive interview with Brooke at EW.com.

WHAT DO YOU THINK of ABC pulling the plug on Callica???

This is ridiculous. Grey’s is already slipping and them having a gay relationship is the most interesting thing going for this show. I don’t like that fact they can’t settle on a official cast. What’s up with the newbie Rambo doctor? I thought he was hot when he was a possible but now he’s a possible permanent I can’t handle it. This whole show is starting to lose my viewership. I’ve been a faithful viewer since the beginning. They dropped Berk which was enemy number 1 but he brought the spice to the show. Dropped Denny which was the only pivotal thing that’s happened on the show since but now they keep bringing him up again. I’ll take my chances with getting some Denny viewing every once and a while but now its seems like a desperate attempt to keep viewers happy but the only thing that would make me happy is a stable cast so I can remember their names and personalities. I’ve never liked Hahn but her with Callie balances the show in a way of sanity (sort of) and if she gets the boots it will go down hill.

That’s not fair.ABC sucks big time!!!!!!!!

OK. No offense, while I didnt mind so much the homosexual relationship it was just TOO much into the sexual aspect of it for me. Plus Hahn was just so unattractive as a person to me I didnt enjoy watching her period. They just didnt figure out how to utilize her character very well.

I hope they bring Isaiah back after Yang falls for the New Doctor.

#48 you are on the money!

Also, this actress just moved her family from the east coast. I hope she sues ABC!

how did this happen? or well, why. details seem so vague. she didn’t make a gay slur or reject an emmy nomination, what’s the problem?

i’m not saying i loved her character, but she was good for the show. it’s unfortunate how grey’s is going in the *******.

anyone notice how they unusually rolled the credits after thursdays episode and there were no scenes for next week? It felt like a series finale.

Ms. Smith is a fabulous actress, and I wish her all the best in her career. With that being said…………..YAY!!!! I am so glad that this character is going away…… she just never fit in with this group of Doctors and I have HATED the storyline between her and Callie! Yay! Yay! YAY!!!!!!! And to hear the Mary McConnell is joining the show if interesting…..I hope her character blends in better with the others than this Erica Hahn ever did.

at least mary mcdonnell’s gonna take her place. that’s a plus

good im glad…gays have no place on television or in this world…..read your bibles

she just moved her family to California. you all are being so selfish saying you’re happy because you didn’t like the character. who gives a **** about the implications this has on the show - think real world people. we live in a place where it’s acceptable to fire someone from a tv show for simply playing a homosexual character. your first response to this shouldn’t concern the plot of the show…

this is so unprofessional! She’s such a talented actress! This show is only at season 5 and its been full of drama outside of the drama…They should fire everyone just to give them some peace….Seriously…

You should read yours, expecially the part about love thy neighbor. Jesus never said anything against gays.

Gay or not, That character sucked! I never liked her from the start. (before she knew she was gay) It’s kinda sad to see this kind of racism in 2008 from a big name like ABC….It may hurt them.
.

I never really liked Hahn but Brooke Smith is a good actress and deserved some common courtesy. And also BOO to abc for being hypocritical. Brothers and Sisters has a gay storyline were the two men are married! I read an article that basically it boils down to Hahn (Brooke Smith) wasn’t pretty enough to be a lesbian on network tv. I also read that Melissa George who was to play the new bisexual intern has been changed to straight. Its straight up homophobia people in 2008 and thats just sad.

YOU JUDGEMENTAL EVIL WOMAN!
IT IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT GIVE RELIGION A BAD NAME!
KEEP YOUR SELF RITCHIOUS COMMENTS TO YOURSELF.
YOU TOO WILL BE JUDGED ONE DAY.
READ YOUR BIBLE AGAIN….YOU GOT IT WRONG.

OK. First of all they boot Dr. Burke aka Isiah Washington for telling T.R Knight that he is gay and for making homophobic comments on set, yet when the cant comes out of the bag and a gay couple decide to literally come out ON SET AGAIN they fire the main character involved???? HOW HYPOCRITICAL!!!! The show was better with Dr Burke at least, not to be against gay rights or anything but I do miss his character and ABC need to get their views straight before hiring another person!

I hate her on the show

Totally unfair. I’d be feeling really bad if I was her.

Her character and story-line was the only thing(s) not getting stale. I probably won’t watch now. Get your head out of the sand ABC ! We are all grownups! If you don’t like the story content, turn the channel.

WOW- I loved her character of Erica Hahn. Do people really believe it is that easy to be a female cardiac surgeon (there are so few), let me tell you from experience surgeons are as tuff as nails!

I am shocked that in 2008 ABC/Walt Disney can support pre-marital sex and infidelity, but go running and screaming into the hills when the idea that a gay relationship show kissing and sleeping together. Brooke Smith is a fabulous actress who did her homework…….I will miss her, as I did love her tough as nails character.

Next time anyone meets a female surgeon, take note how “touchy, feely” they are, I guess we just can’t get over the idea that confident, intelligent woman swimming upstream in a male dominated profession are nothing but “*******.”

Horrible! Devastated! Shonda and ABC are homophobes and cowards!

If people wanted to slap her character that means she did her job as an actress. I personally feel that she brought some depth to a show that should have “hung it up” a year or so ago.
I wish her well and will miss her great acting.

I started watching when Erica and Callie established a friendship and have been hooked since. They were the reason i watched the damn show it gave it depth and now they just done cut my main reason for watching the damn show what am i gonna do now on thursday nights. Guess what they better do something quick about this s@#$% descion because they are really pissin me off. You better make up for it Grey’s because your just about to lose a viewer.

**** you ABC !! Say hello to discrimination !!!

nooooooooooooo! why!!! Callica was so much fun!

I hated her character. Glad she’s off. I wonder how they will get rid of her…..
