Entertainment Weekly is reporting exclusively that Brooke Smith, Dr. Hahn to us, has been fired by Grey's Anatomy.
Dr. Hahn is significant in that she is half of a fairly prominent prime time lesbian couple (see our recaps chronicling her romance with Callie).
EW is reporting that the dismissal was an order from the ABC network execs who were uncomfortable with that relationship.
This Thursday's episode will be her last.

It doesn't matter if it was
Thu, 10/29/2009 - 15:14 — jerrybluIt doesn't matter if it was EW's call or ABC's call. It all boils down to the same end result and it still doesn't change the fact that it was not her choosing to make her character a lesbian! It was the network's. Then they change their mind and fire HER for it? Lottery Results

Fri, 10/09/2009 - 18:20 — hildajusticeSomething no one here seems to understand is that kind of thing happens every day in the entertainment business. It's to be expected and is something that you just have to deal with. I'm sure she will move on to better things now.

Mon, 10/05/2009 - 14:45 — rjeff12I admit that I'm not exactly a huge Grey's Anatomy fan, but this seems like a silly thing to do. I agree, that firing here made no sense. Especially since they are the ones who made her character out to be a lesbian in the first place. businesses for sale

Wed, 10/07/2009 - 17:33 — yinka23Personally, House MD is the best show out there that takes place (mostly) in hospital :) Grey's isn't bad though. I don't even know who this girl is, but that doesn't mean I can't definitely agree that firing her sounds like it was absurd. Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet
I agree, how is it her fault
Sun, 10/04/2009 - 00:07 — dualdp200I agree, how is it her fault that they set her up like that? I'd sure hope she got some kind of compensation or something. She was one of my favorites on the show! Toronto Real Estate Listings
Well that was just plain
Fri, 10/02/2009 - 17:31 — dualdp200Well that was just plain messed up. They writer her character to do this and she gets the boot because of it? Because they change their mind and "can't write for her character anymore"? Graiwer & Kaplan
Seriously? ABC made them let
Thu, 10/01/2009 - 20:25 — billV23Seriously? ABC made them let her go because of her sexuality? I'd think that either 1.) that wouldn't matter, especially on a show that feeds off of sexuality 2.) that they would use that to their advantage (sad to do, but you know it happens!) free money for bills?
I miss her already.
Wed, 08/05/2009 - 22:12 — BullogI miss her already. Moreover, I don't think the reason for firing her makes any sense. social bookmark site
