A Lesbian Relationship on "Grey's Anatomy"?Warning: gay-related spoilers! Last week we mentioned that Grey's Anatomy was teasing viewers with a potential relationship between Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith). But last night's episode ("Piece of My Heart") did more than tease — it laid the groundwork for one or both of the characters to come out.
The two doctors have been shown growing closer over the last few episodes. Cristina (Sandra Oh) recently came home to the apartment she shares with Callie to find Callie and Erica sharing a bottle of wine in her living room. In this week's episode, Addison (Kate Walsh) returned to Seattle Grace for a surgery and grew happily suspicious after watching the body language and rapport between the two doctors. She asked Callie about it over lunch.
Callie was surprisingly defensive:
Addison responded with a skeptical look:
Shortly afterward, Callie asked Meredith and Cristina if anyone ever thought they were a couple. (Meredith's response — "No, because we screw boys like whores on tequila" — was one of the funniest lines of the night.) At the end of the episode, Addison is having drinks with Callie and Erica at the bar, and they're all having a good time until Hahn removes a piece of hair that's caught in Callie's lip gloss.
Callie freezes, seeing the speculative look from Addison. Grey's resident playboy, Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) comes over at that moment to ask if any of the women want to dance, and Callie jumps at the chance, grinding all over him on the dance floor as Hahn watches. Seeing an opportunity to play matchmaker, Addison says to Hahn, "She's pretty, isn't she?" Hahn responds, "She's beautiful," and Addison grins. Noticing Hahn watching her, Callie asks Mark suggestively if he wants to "get out of here," and they promptly leave as Hahn looks on wistfully. Back in October, Smith expressed enthusiasm at the idea of her character potentially being gay, telling TV Guide's Michael Ausiello, "I've certainly let [the producers] know I'm open to it" when he suggested that Dr. Hahn would make "an awesome lesbian." Initially, there was speculation that her character might be paired with Cristina, which still remains a possibility despite Callie's recent behavior. There have been hints that a story line like this was coming. Besides all the spoilers running rampant on the internet, Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes wrote in a column for TV Guide earlier this month that "Callie, Erica and Mark are going to go through some changes that might surprise you."
Earlier this week, out actor T.R. Knight confirmed to USA Today that "there's something gay" coming up on the Grey's two-hour May 22nd season finale, saying: "I was surprised as anyone. Anytime on television that real life is reflected is a good thing." Although she won't reveal which characters are involved, Rhimes writes that the finale ends with "a good kiss. A great kiss. A kiss so good it makes you lean into your televisions. A kiss we never saw coming. Oh, it's a major kiss." Whether the kiss is between Hahn and Torres, Hahn and Cristina, or another couple entirely remains to be seen.

i think we might be disappointed. after reading alot of spoilers.. there is a gay kiss but between two men... i think the big kiss in the finale is meredith/derek
:D
spoilers
So, I'm sure I wasn't the only one who watched the season finale.
Looks like we weren't disappointed after all :D:D
-Marly.
Hooray for episodes online...
I'm definitely intrigued enough to go watch this ep.
Thanks for the spoiler-ish review! =)

Please god if you frigging exist, make my tv year.
And how amazingly beautiful is Sara Ramirez?! It's a crime is what it is.
WORD
Amazing hug Callie and Hahn
Love Effie Ferns!
Kisses!!@@
I love you both Callie and Hahn a Matching couple in the movie. Really interesting to watch the episode soon.
a pleasant surprise...
oh goodness.
i squeeled a little at this episode. this would totally make my year TV wise. oh please oh please....
and good god, could sara ramirez be any hotter?
don't follow grey's anatomy, but
Sara Ramirez is HOT. And after her character had that thing with T.R. Knight's character (see how much I watch?), I really got into her, except for the fact that I don't watch it. I don't know much about Brooke Smith's character, but I for one would prefer if Sandra Oh turned out to be gay - I mean, the woman's already played a lesbian! another time wouldn't hurt!
The censorship board's likely to cut out ANY hint of a lesbian relationship anyway, so there's no point in me watching it on television - I'll leave it up to AE to (hopefully!) post clips. Gosh, Sara Ramirez!
you're on the right track
After watching the episode, I'm with you!!!! They have to put Christina and Hahn together. Sandra Oh is amazing, and those two would be awesome together! Bring it on ;-)
this is why i love my show!
seriously. that was kind of the best episode ever, because a) addison returned! oh, kate walsh, please always be on my tv, and b) callie/hahn. i really really hope that shonda takes this in the direction it seems to be going, because wow, callie did quite a bit of protesting too much, and addison was all smirky about it. and then hahn with her sad face when callie danced with mark. it's already my favorite show, but this would make me love it even more!
It's Wonderful, It's Marvelous....
Sorry, but this episode made me start wanting to break out a little It's Wonderful music... not only did we have the return of the ultra fantastic Kate Walsh once again embodying the ultra cool Addison, but then to actually have this episode follow through on what could ultimately have simply been a big tease of a preview-very cool!
I'm a big Sara Ramirez fan... she's one among my selection of choices for the AfterEllen.com Hot 100! She was super sexy in the dancing scene last night, but I could certainly picture the scene being even sexier had she been dancing with Dr. Hahn! And the look on Hahn's face while watching her was priceless. Leave it to the ever observant Addison to notice what appeared to be taking place between Hahn and Torres. (I'm still sad that Addison won't permanently be back at Seattle Grace.)
It should be interesting to see where Shonda and her writing team take us with this latest possible revelation... I only hope that unlike so many previous story lines on this and various other shows the end result turns out better than the rest of them have!

OMG!!
i knew it..! there has always been something about Callie.. i though they would be something between her and Addison last season but ofcourse they didn't go there..
so i guess the real question this time is will they dare to go "there"?? (ohh.. pls!!)
--------------------------------------------------------------
GOD made men then He had a better idea girls.finally a REAL good reason to watch
www.myspace/epona_sister
seriously?!
ditto
I was thinking the same thing reading this. Oh, yay, lesbian storyline. Dammit, now I'll have to start watching again.
Side note: I've always wanted Addison to be gay though. I'll settle for gay friendly but still. whyyy is she not a lesbian? /whine
*sigh* I have to agree. I
*sigh* I have to agree. I want her to hook up with the hot blonde from the hospital they visit in Private Practice. Her name escapes me...
hehe.
Amen to that
Aha, yes. Thanks for that,
Great episode
This episode was great
I hope Callie and Hahn become a couple
After all this talk on AE
After all this talk on AE about this possible relationship, I decided I could no longer resist, and now I just finished watching my very first episode of Grey's Anatomy. Yes, I am that desperate to see lesbians on TV.
And I actually kind of liked it. The Callie/Hahn/Cristina/Addison scenes were fun, and I can't wait to see how they're going to handle this storyline (and please, Gods Of Television, don't screw this one up).
Plus, the added bonus of seeing the wonderful Clea DuVall again made it extra fun (and extra gay). She's so good. I love her.
Awesome
It's always extra cool when a show you already love creates a gay story line.
I think it's awesome, regardless of who does or does not hook up with who.
Although, Callie and Dr. Hahn together: HOT!
From the first moment I saw Dr. Hahn I thought: DYKE. There's just no way she's straight.
- - - - - - - - - -
-Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.
Who doesn't blog these days?
I've said the same thing all along
"From the first moment I saw Dr. Hahn I thought: DYKE. There's just no way she's straight."
I agree. There's no way she's straight. I just watched the episode online tonight with my girlfriend and she was thoroughly amused at my giddiness. I've been predicting just this relationship since Dr. Hahn came on the scene. And now that it looks like we just may get that realtionship - I'm scared the network will take it away. So I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that they don't screw it up!
Cristina and Hahn!
That's what I want to see. Although, I think I could make do with a Callie/Hahn pairing. ;) Either couple would be lovely. I'm hoping to see a dramatic confession of attraction by Hahn to Cristina, explaining why she won't teach her. Followed, of course, by 'a good kiss, a great kiss... a major kiss.' There's so much tension between the two of them, it would be smokin' hot. :D
On the other hand, Cristina is always getting involved with her mentors, and I'd almost like to see her not do that again. But more than that, I'd like to see her do that again.
me too
Christina and Hahn
Hell YES!!! First of all,
Hell YES!!!
First of all, I love Addison even more for being generally awesome, hot and being the sort of catalyst for this possible romance. She rawks my socks every time she's on screen.
And wow, this could indeed be interesting. Callie's defensiveness and behaviour was certainly not that of a straight woman at the receiving end of a crush, no no. It was a 'shit scared of her own feelings' reaction.
Lets get it on! Something tells me the Grey's Anatomy writers aren't going to disappoint us on this one. No OC heartbreak here! :-D
Anatomy of a relationship
I"m a Grey's fan and this is a most interesting and welcome turn of events! I wondered if something was happening and it sure looks like it.
I thought there was a
ABC and caution
I was thinking the same thing...
as far as the ABC network's relationship with lesbian storylines.
All My Children's Bianca never got more than a blip of a relationship with Lena onscreen while Bianca's longest and more intense relationship with Maggie was consummated off-screen.
Don't even get me started on Cashmere Mafia. I thought it might be different because it was a prime time show and Kevin on Brothers & Sisters has been fleshed out so wonderfully.
So I watched the whole eppie last night...and usually I would have been gleeful...or glee-filled...lol...but yeah, now I am a skeptic and they have to prove themselves to me.
Loved having Addison back!
yay for greys!
It's so nice to finally enjoy grey's again! for awhile there it was boring me to tears. but last night i was laughing out loud and loving it! i miss addison on that show and last night was a plesant suprise having her back! I really hope they keep this story line going...i'm very intrigued to see where they'll take this! callie is gorgeous and shes def the one i would love to see hook up with haun. whether this is all wishful thinking or not...we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out! i really hope they don't screw this one up!!
YES PLEASE!
ok now i am sooo happy if this works out.... I am seeing some sort of confrontation at the season finale with some ending of a kiss... lets hope Calli comes to her senses soon!!
PLease let it work out! We need lesbians on prime time that isnt the L word!
Oh my god! i saw this last
Oh my god! i saw this last night too!
hahah, i thought it was funny. lol. i was wondering if you guys were going to write something about it.
i love grey's anatomy! its a awesome show.
Im glad that they're playing with the "idea."
finally! i was wondering when they were going to do it on Grey's anatomy!
I JUST REALLY WISH IT WAS KATE WALSH WHO WAS IN THE "QUESTIONING" OF THE FRIENDSHIP. CUZ SHE IS SO HOT! ;)
Yay Grey's!
Probably wait
i love sara!!!!
ive been waiting for her to join our team for quite a while now!!!
Hahn
Finally!
it would be crazy
if it ended up being a kiss between two radom people... like McDreamy and McSteamy. actually that would creep me out a wee bit/lot. Yang and Merideth need to hook it up.
i wish Kate Walsh would come back. i thought Private Practice was over for sure, but i saw the promo for next season. oh well. as long as i get my dose of Kate, im alright.
So happy
I would be so happy if Hahn and Callie get together. This has to happen! For me, Hahn pinged to heaven since the first episode she appeared and Callie/Sara Ramirez is pure hotness. This couple would make the screen melt.
Sara Ramirez
Sweet Fancy Moses, is Sara Ramirez hot or what? I don't even watch Grey's Anatomy (love Sandra Oh, but I could never really get into it) and I voted for Sara in AE's Hot 100. Although, in this particular storyline, my opinion - and please don't crucify me here - is that her character is WAY too hot for the character they're trying to hook her up with. Now if they tried to hook her up with Oh's character, I'd be all about it... :P
But yeah - "Latin women. Caliente." - Alice, The L Word
hahn and christina
I would love to see Christina and Hahn together. They would make one hot couple. I would pay to see it better yet I would give my right arm to see them together. They have insane chemistry!
This would be the best
This would be the best thing ever. I have loved Dr. Hahn since her first episode, and if she hadn't become a regular I probably wouldn't have started watching again this season. This just makes it oh-so-much better.
Plus Brooke Smith was one of my votes for the Hot 100 this year. ;)
couldn't believe it!
Oh goody ..
Let's see: gay/bi woman falls for straight girl who grinds up on the first available penis to prove that she's "not that way."
Are folks so desperate that they are getting excited about this tired old storyline/stereotype?

Im...
Just happy..ive always loved Callie (secretly...ppl in my home dont like her tt much) and well it would be awesome if the 2 of them would just kiss!!!...
