cabensonI cannot tell you how upset I am about the following. I actually wrote a complaint letter to ABC:
Ausiello:
Brace yourselves, Grey's Anatomy fans: The show has parted ways with a female doc who is blonde, beautiful, outspoken – and not Katherine Heigl. It's Brooke Smith. As in Dr. Erica Hahn. As in one half of Callica, Grey's first-ever significant gay couple. And that's only half the story. I'm told this was not Shonda Rhimes' decision but rather an order that came down from the network. (ABC declined to comment.) According to one Grey's source, the suits "had issues" with both the explicit direction Callica was taking (think: undiscovered country, south of the border, etc.) and, more importantly, with the Hahn character in general. Basically, they didn't like her and wanted her gone ASAP. But how soon? And what does this mean for Callica? Keep yourselves braced, because the shocks don't stop in the following Q&A with the sublime Ms. Smith. She deserves better treatment than this, and next go-'round, here's hoping she gets it.

And I want to know the REAL reason she was canned-only the Season Premiere had aired by the time they fired her, so how could it be the storyline?
