Brooke Smith's departure from Grey's Anatomy was another dismissal that prompted some controversy, though for reasons that were much different than what lead to Isaiah Washington's initial termination from the show. First starring as a recurring character in Season 2, before she became a guest star in Season 3, then finally a main character in Seasons 4 and 5, Brooke Smith's Erica Hahn received a great deal of attention on the show when her character announced that she was a lesbian.
There has been some considerable back-and-forth about what happened with Dr. In an interview, Brooke Smith claimed that she was told by network executives that the scene wherein Dr. Erica Hahn realizes she's gay was "one of the best they ever shot on the show. As one of the original main cast members during the early seasons of the show, T. Knight's Dr. George O'Malley played a big hand in the original ensemble.
That was until he was let go of the show around Season 5, and once again, it appears that the reason for the actor's dismissal came from a bit of controversy. Specifically, it appears that T. Knight and show creator Shonda Rhimes had some heated disagreements about the character. This time around, however, it seems like T. Knight made the decision to leave the hit show, rather than being fired or let go. Knight claimed in an interview that his beloved character was fading further and further into the background, to the point where he felt it was making little sense for him to stay on the show when his time as an actor could be invested elsewhere.
He would rather just leave and was granted an early exit. It appears that matters between T. Knight and Shonda Rhimes were getting heated even before the actor made the decision to leave Gary Sloan Memorial Hospital for good. According to Knight, Rhimes reportedly suggested that Knight not come out publicly around Isaiah Washington's leave from the show. He claimed she was "concerned" about having the statement come out "so shortly after the event.
The drama series played a big part in making the actress a major household name, and her Emmy-winning performance as Dr. Izzzie Stevens was crucial to the success of the earlier seasons. Alas, while she was definitely making a big impression through her work, Heigl was reportedly not earning a lot of friends with the creatives involved in the hit series.
The following year, after winning Best Actress at the Emmys, Katherine Heigl refused to submit her name for Emmy consideration. Heigl did go on to take her name out of consideration, but naturally, this whole thing did not go over well with the folks over at ABC. It was only a couple years later, in , that Katherine Heigl announced she was officially leaving the series before the seventh season.
In her statement , Katherine Heigl said that she "was done," and that they finalized their agreement and everyone involved worked "really hard to find an amicable and gracious way of letting go and moving on.
While Heigl noted that it was "sad," she claimed it was what she "wanted. She appeared in the short-lived series, State of Affairs , as well as Doubt , and she recently appeared in the final two seasons of Suits , continuing to find television gigs.
She has not wanted to return to Grey's since. It came as a big surprise to Grey's Anatomy fans when Lexie Grey, played by Chyler Leigh, was killed off the show at the end of Season 8. It was not something that viewers anticipated, but it was a decision that Leigh reportedly made herself. There's no publicly announced reason as to why she left the series, although she said in a statement that she felt "very lucky" to have worked with "an amazing cast and crew" throughout her tenure in the hospital series, and she claimed that she will "treasure" her experience on the drama series for "the rest of [her] life.
Shonda Rhimes also didn't give an explanation for why Chyler Leigh left the series, but she also noted that she loves both Leigh and her character. She claimed she was an "important member of my Grey's family" and not a simple decision, but one that she and Leigh made together. Much like some other cast members who held a long residence on the show, Eric Dane, who played Dr.
Mark Sloan, i. McSteamy, decided it was time to leave Grey's Anatomy. As we noted earlier, nobody can stay on one show forever. Dane was ready to pursue other creative endeavors outside of his hospital scrubs. Shonda Rhimes said that she felt it was "the right time for his storyline to end," though she called Dr.
And a source close to Washington tells EW that he asked for the chance to tell his side of the story — and even offered to resign twice — but the studio and network said no. Did you think it was fair? I did everything that the producers and the network asked me to do. I came back under great duress and stress, and thought I was doing the job I was hired to do. Why do you think the decision was made by ABC? I knew she was aware of the decision. Were you in touch with Shonda after you were fired?
She called me on Thursday of last week [June 7] and told me that I would not be returning to the show. Just like she personally called me and invited me to the show. It was full circle. There are rumors you may file a lawsuit against ABC.
Have you heard from many of your castmates? Everyone is still on vacation. People are still trying to enjoy their summer before they get back to the grind. I think a lot of people are out of the country. Would you consider you and T. You can unsubscribe at any time. More info. Viewers will remember he had a major relationship with intern Christina Yang Sandra Oh in the show. However, viewers will remember how in a devastating storyline twist, Burke left Christina at the altar.
Telling her he thought he was trying to make her into the woman he wanted her to be instead of the woman she was, he called off their marriage. Then he finally returned in season 10 where he was shown living in Switzerland with his new family.
