Last night was Brooke Smith's final episode of Grey's Anatomy as Dr. Erica Hahn, as she was essentially fired from the show after pressure from the network. Damn you ABC! The burgeoning romance between Smith's character, Hahn, and Sara Ramirez's Dr. Callie Torres, was the best part of the show, but apparently the network wasn't digging it and forced creator/producer Shonda Rhimes to write her off the show. Now here's what really ticks me off. The network says that the character wasn't written off because she was a lesbian, but because they didn't think the relationship between Hahn and Callie could not be sustained. B.S. Later this month Melissa George will join the cast as a new intern, and former friend of Meredith Grey, who is bisexual. Huh. So they got rid of the realistic lesbian character to replace her with a man's fantasy version of a bisexual woman. The network is fine with women making out with each other, just as long they are highly attractive and wind up back with men in the end. Melissa George's character better be hooking up with Callie, and not just flirt with her and then go around sleeping with every guy in the cast. Screw you ABC. Letting Brooke Smith go after that wonderfully acted scene were she realizes she's a lesbian. Damn it, there was so much potential there! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
