Some Grey’s Anatomy fans are going to be in for quite a shock this week when Dr. Erica Hahn walks to her car and never comes back. That’s right, apparently the talented Brooke Smith is no longer going to be working her role at Seattle Grace Hospital. If you’re wondering why she won’t be around anymore it’s not because she said anything wrong and it’s not because she wanted out of her contract either. Nope, apparently the reason has more to do with the network ABC and less to do with Smith or the viewers.

Smith had a sit down with EW.com and at that time she revealed that ABC executives weren’t thrilled with her developing lesbian storyline where Hahn and Callie (Sara Ramirez) were becoming involved. According to Smith, ABC made a point to mention they didn’t really care for her character as the new Burke either, so Thursday will be Smith’s last day with no explanation as to why where the show is concerned. I am sure they will make something up, but Smith fans will likely be incredibly disappointed.

“My final scene is just me heading to my car,” said Smith. “I honestly don’t know what happens in the next episode. I heard not much.”

So, do you think that ABC is cutting things off because of the lesbian scene or is it just that Smith wasn’t up to snuff?
