“Dr Hahn” is leaving Seattle Grace. Actress Brooke Smith will no longer appear on ABC’s popular medical drama Grey’s Anatomy as cardiac doctor “Erica Hahn,” Entertainment Weekly reports.


According to EW, the network demanded Brooke’s character be written out of the show after becoming uncomfortable with both the explicit direction of the show’s first gay romance between “Dr. Hahn” and “Dr. Callie Torres” (played by Sara Ramirez).

“Dr. Hahn” will appear on the show for the last time this Thursday.
