Why brooke smith leaving greys anatomy

The episode last week which was Smith's last was a big disappointment and while ABC wants this story to go away, I'm not yet quite ready to let it go. Hahn, played by Smith, was right about calling UNOS the national organ donor bank to report the shady behavior of Seattle Grace regarding the heart transplant of Denny Duckett two seasons ago. The fact that her lover, Callie Torres, Sara Ramirez defended Izzie Stevens Katherine Heigl who by the way, she hates because Izzie slept with her husband, is just pathetic.

It just seems to me that the folks at ABC got skittish about Brooke Smith playing a strong, normal-looking woman who happened to be a lesbian who you made a full time cast member last season to great fanfare.

Also, didn't you know that Smith is a fantastic character actress and not a bimbette? Her exit was so disappointing first time writer Bill Harper got the credit according to the Grey writers' blog which did not touch on the controversy at all. The timing of her departure really sucked since she was kicked out the week that California and three other states voted against gay marriage.

Timing is everything and you blew it here. The forced statement that Shonda Rhimes released last week mentioned that Smith was not fired because she played a lesbian and that the show still has lesbian on it -- Callie Torres -- rings false. On the episode, Callie denied she was a lesbian which is what led to Dr. Hahn walking away into TV nowhereland. And her constant on the job sexual exploits with Dr. McSteamy proves her sexual confusion. It's like she needs to prove she's not gay.

Smith was particularly unhappy with how suddenly Dr. Hahn exited the show after two seasons as a regular cast member.

My final scene is just me heading to my car," she said. Smith didn't believe showrunner Shonda Rhimes was behind the decision, saying, "It seemed like some decision came down from above. It didn't feel like it was her. After Erica left the show, rumors swirled that ABC felt reluctant to continue featuring Erica and Callie's same-sex relationship. According to Shonda Rhimes, the rumors were untrue.
