Brooke Smith | Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Grey’s Anatomy star Brooke Smith, aka Dr. Erica Hahn, has been abruptly pulled from the hit medical drama, reports EW.

In fact, this Thursday is her final episode. Does it have anything to do with her character being involved with Dr. Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez), Grey’s first-ever significant gay couple?

But of course. The mag reports ABC “had issues with both the explicit direction Callica (Callie and Erica) was taking and, more importantly, with the Hahn character in general.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK of ABC pulling the plug on Callica???

Eric Dane, aka Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloan, whips out the big guns while filming his hit ABC drama, Grey’s Anatomy, in Los Angeles on Monday morning.

In between flexing his bulging biceps, the 35-year-old actor shot scenes with costars Katherine Heigl, Patrick Dempsey and Brooke Smith.

As reported last month, former Journeyman star Kevin McKidd, 34, will play join Grey’s Anatomy as a doctor who arrives at Seattle Grace after a stint in Iraq.

The Seattle Grace doctors return in a two-hour premiere on Thursday, Sept. 25 at 9PM ET/PT on ABC.
