Catherine- you won't have to give it up. Greys and ABC keeps up with the bull shit and there won't be a show. This is 2008 people get with the times. I am totally pissed. Grey's is blaming the firing of Brooke Smith on ABC. But I just don't buy that. The owner of this show has the power to fire and hire who they want. And they wanted Brooke gone. I wish she and Sara would go to another network and pick up where they left off. Times are changing. My god lets CHANGE with them.

I'm glad they are ending the Callica storyline. I didn't like it, and I felt it was too explicit for network TV at 8 PM.
The storyline with Meredith and McDreamy is getting old, too. I think they need some new characters.

They can't do this. This is so unfair with prop 8 not passing and now this. People who love the same sex exist. They can't just take if off because people disagree with it. I am gay and I am represented here in this relationship. Why ABC?

I disagree. I don't think callie and mark have any chemistry at all. Neither did callie and hahn. In fact i don't think sara has much chemistry with any of the cast. I wouldn't really miss her. Will not miss hahn. Feel sorry for brooke smith. Peace

I hear ABC ordered Shonda to fire Brooke after they received a massive number of angry calls after Callica's bed romp aired. Still think this is not homophobia?

All right,Ellen Pompeo has two gay uncles, gay colleague (TR) and
gay best friend on the screen. That should be enough.

SMITH IS A GREAT ACTRESS BUT HER ROLE WAS REALLY BAD.
Does anybody know, if Brooke Smith has an official website? Thanks
Grey's messing up again

I think it's really bad they fired Brooke Smith, even though there was no chemistry in the CalliCa couple, her character was interesting, Brooke Smith is a great Actress, it's not her fault if the production messed with her storylines.
BUT, I have to say this could be a good opportunity to get Burke back :-D
C-o-m-m-o-n! He's been fired since season 3, and they still refer to this character, I think it just proves there's something missing in the show since Burke left ... right?
Don't you think?

From Shonda's comments, it just seems that they didn't like her as an acress. Her character was not enjoyable, but that was the way she was written. Even though last season was cut short, it seemed that all she did was yell at Christina and that seemed pointless and went on for way too long.
I don't think it really had anything to do with the storyline, because they announced well in advance where that was going and had done a lot of research to determine how to approach it. If ABC had been uncomfortable, I would think they would have expressed that before the season started.
And if it was just a matter of chemistry, they could have broken them up, like they've done with everyone else.
When she and Mark were flirting last season, they didn't seem like a realistic couple either.
So, I guess I'm glad to see her go, but only because her character wasn't enjoyable, and I didn't like the storyline either. Maybe ABC just decided that they didn't want that to be the

I'm shocked that Brooke Smith has been fired! If ABC didn't like the direction that her character was going, then change it, don't just get rid of her. Dr. Hahn as much rugged as she was, had a power about her. She was strength. I loved her character and after Thursday's episode, I honestly don't know if I'll continue to watch religiously.

November 4th, 2008 10:02 PM
Wow. I just don't know what to think anymore. I really thought that Grey's was gonna be a "progressive" show, but I guess ABC has NO BALLS! As a lesbian, myself, I'm very heartbroken at this decision.
Brooke Smith is one of the greatest actresses around. She was TOLD to play a bitch and hse did it...fabulously, I might add. She was TOLD to be awkwardly gay...and she did that as well. She really did nothing wrong. She only did her job and did what she was told to do. ABC needs to grow a pair...
I'm VERY SAD!!! I guess this Thursday will be the last espisode I'll watch. Good thing I kept the rest of the season in my TiVo. I can re-watch all those episodes. :(
