The romance is over for Brooke Smith’s character on Grey’s Anatomy: the actress has abruptly been written out of the hit medical drama.
Smith, whose character Dr. Erica Hahn had just begun a lesbian affair with Sara Ramirez’s Dr. Callie Torres on the ABC show, told EW.com that Grey’s creator Shonda Rhimes “just suddenly told me that they couldn’t write for my character anymore.” Adds Smith, “it was the last thing I expected.”
Smith’s last Grey’s appearance will be Thursday’s episode, but don’t expect any closure for her character. “My final scene is just me heading to my car,” says Smith. “I honestly don’t know what happens in the next episode.”

That’s what I want to do.’ … [But] I was very sad and introverted as a child, and I would never, ever have had the confidence or the extroverted nature to be in a school play.”

As California ushered in historic gay marriage changes Tuesday, Access Hollywood caught up with T. R. Knight and his boyfriend Mark Cornelsen at the Los Angeles premiere of “Get Smart.â€
“It’s a wonderful day!†T.R. told Access regarding the start of gay marriage ceremonies throughout the state. “It’s just, it’s fair. And anytime that happens and anytime equality is present, it’s a marvelous thing, and it’s about time.â€
â€[Much of] our country’s history is full of times of just horrible inequality. And anytime they right it, it’s correct,†the “Grey’s Anatomy†actor added.
As for T.R. and boyfriend Mark Cornelsen heading down the aisle? The couple said they are taking their time.
This past weekend, Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane and his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, hosted the Chrysalis Awards in Los Angeles. Dane’s friends and co-stars came out to support the event. James Pickens, Katherine Heigl, Kate Walsh, and T.R. Knight were all on hand at the awards ceremony and dished on Grey’s finale and future.
T.R. Knight had a lot say about his character from the women he’s loved to whether or not he’d go gay for a member of Seattle Grace. “Oh, that’s not who he is,†Knight laughed. “That’s now how I’ve been playing him! That would be a different character!” He also dished on his season finale kiss with costar Chyler Leigh, though he was just as surprised by it as the viewers were. “What was up with that?” he wondered. He continued on about Leigh saying, “She’s really funny and it’s really fun to work with her. I like the dorky actor ‘craft’ part of it, where you discuss the scene and so does she. She’s a cool person.”
