Gosh! Just when Grey’s was truly making a turn around and become good again – okay, I’ll admit, I’m a big fan of the whole series, so I don’t entirely hate everything but the seasons have been slowly declining since the amazing season 2.

So here is the news, Dr. Haun aka Brooke Smith (yes, that “put the lotion in the basket girl” from Silence of the Lambs) is being totally fucked over big time. This Thursday’s episode of Grey’s is her last. WTF?!

EW says this was not creator Shonda Rhimes’ decision but rather an order that came down from the network. The ABC executives reportedly “had issues” with both the explicit direction Hahn’s relationship with Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) was taking and with the Hahn character in general.

I’m a huge fan of her character, Brooke is super funny and witty in general too – and yes I’m a massive Callica shipper (but I’ll admit, I’m more a shipper for Mark & Callie all together). But I’m truly pissed off by this piece of news – first they had the nerve to up and boot her character which has been a big light on the show for me (adored her season 2 episode fans will recall, so was ecstatic she was a recurring cast member) and now only is she gone, but will she not get a proper goodbye, but what makes me most angry with this is apparently they knew about this since let go since mid September and couldn’t make a real send off. And why couldn’t they just go and do a re-write before even entering this relationship if ABC didn’t like it? Hello it is a TV Show and re-writes happen often, I mean remember when a cast member up and offed another co-star for being openly gay and that drama and how the plug wasn’t yanked instantly… could we not have tried it and then ultimately write out Dr. Haun? Why do you have to go and pull the plug LIKE THAT? Honestly it would have took one little episode to give Dr. Haun a proper goodbye, it go something like this: Erika realizes she is a lesbian and is clearly madly in love with Callie, as you may have seen from last weeks episode which was evident. This love, while their is strong affection isn’t reciprocated back to her from Callie so Erika decides she’s gonna bid farewell – give her a hella surgery, let her be a hero for an episode and have her leave Seattle Grace Hospital and go back to either Mercy West or move on to another better place. That’s it. One episode… Now I might be jumping the gun as I haven’t seen this week’s episode but reports are she gets no farewell what so ever, in fact Smith herself says “I’m not written out. My final scene is just me heading to my car.” so I guess I’m not jumping ahead.

I’m in love with the new promos for the fourth season of Weeds! It’s some of my favorites for any show. (Video / Ads) It makes me all excited for upcoming seasons for all the new series as I love the new promoshoots and spots, I get more excited for those than the actual series sometimes! Last year I loved all of Weeds and of course Dexter. Six Feet Under has had some of the best promotional photography, trailers, etc for any show and movie ever and I believe Weeds has now joined as my second favorite for best. I love HBO/Showtime’s creativity, it seems basic cable shows don’t get half the creativeness or fun as these shows, so bravo to them.

So for my Weeds countdown giddyness, enjoy this picture and video spam!
