Callie Torres gets a new love interest

Wait, what? Didn't Callie and Melissa George's character just spend an episode making googly-eyes at each other?  This show is just getting too confusing.

(Though Callie and Sloan bonding over "hot, naked, available interns" was pretty funny)

If this turns out to be true then I'm convinced that the Grey's Anatomy people just got rid of Erica/Brooke simply due to the way she looks. She obviously didn't fufil their fantasy ideal of what 2 women together should look like or something.

I never really watch Grey's (though watched the whole Erica/Callie thing on various YouTube videos & enjoyed it so far as the beginning of the new season) but I'm finding this whole situation around the show now utterly bizarre.

I was just warming up to the thought of Callie with Sadie, since I didn't find the latter as annoying in the latest episode and Callie is beyond smoking when she's exclaiming "crazy hot!" with that look in her eyes.

But this is intriguing, I think. I do think Callie needs to be on her own for a while, and I assume Capshaw won't come on the show just yet. It's going to be difficult to create a story with much depth if Capshaw is only onboard for three eppies. Callie is a secondary character and three episodes just won't be enought to get some substance. But as for hotness? Sure! :D

seems like the execs got what they wanted. a younger, "hotter" actress playing a lesbian. idiots.

Even since yesterdays episode I started thinking what my reaction would be if Callie would actually get involved with a woman again. First of all I need to see it happen first, before I believe it. And then I need to see if it's written well, before I can start liking it... I'll sure be checking in. But what about Shonda saying she wasn't simply going to replace erica by 'another lesbian'? Ah... we'll see. I'm definitely not getting so involved again, just to be let down again.

Does make you think that it really was about Erica not being 'hot' enough to play a lesbian...

"I just like kissing one girl. You." What happened to that? I can't get into a storyline which involves Callie kissing another woman if there isn't any depth to it. Because a three-episode story arch? Can't make me feel the connection. And what happend to Shonda saying "We won't just replace Erica with another lesbian"?

While I thought Callie thinking Sadie flirted with her was fun to watch, it was unbelievable, because those two don't have anything in common and don't have great chemistry. Callie fell for Erica because she was strong, smart, independante, mature,... and now it seems they are just trying to replace Erica with a younger, 'hotter' version. There's no way to replace someone like Erica, but I guess the exces don't get that.

every time i saw dr. erica haun  all i heard was  "it puts the lotion on its skin"  

jessica capshaw is cute but i want callie and sadie to get together

Im not crazy, my reality is just different then yours.

I just love Erica HAHn!!

I loved that character since the guest appereance so no, NO Sadie or that other girL, Im sorry I may sound weird but I spend season 1,2,3,happy with the regular storyline then so so happy in season 4, and then season 5 hoping & waiting....AHHH Sorry Im still really upset.

I'm a cranky biatch when it comes to shows messing w/ characters I've made an emotional investment in and I'm pretty damn unforgiving when they do.  

That's why I stopped watching Grey's after they fired Brooke Smith.  The only reason I started watching was for the Callie and Erica storyline which they promised was the real deal.  They were going to explore their coming out to coworkers and Callie to her father.  Nice job coming through on that one.  Callie w/ plan B or plan C doesn't cut it with me.  It feels like bait and switch, hoping I have a short memory and that I'll come crawling back to something more vapid and pretty. Not happening.

I still haven't forgiven Joss Whedon for killing Tara!

If a tv couple isn't Mulder and Scully or Bette and Tina, my investment into them is going to be moderate at best. Callica wasn't that big a deal to me. It was interesting but its demise wasn't enough to make me stop watching the show.

They must be really serious about following Callie's post-divorce bisexual(?) journey. Just in time for February sweeps.

That made me laugh quite heartily.

As far as the Grey's news, to that I say, "Meh". I don't watch the show and I certainly won't be watching any time soon because of that last stunt. However, if AE should mention something worth taking a peak at, I'll seek it out on YouTube. Until such time, Grey's can (still) suck it. And, Bette's TA annoyed me before she disappeared.

~It means pride.~

Why the f*ck does ABC care so much about the "Macho MALE viewer, pleasing to the eye, girl-on-girl fantasy sh*t" when the audience hardly consists of men like that?? Is this some sort of abuse of power from the big execs who used to get picked on in school, who now have a big position and uses primetime television production as their playground?

I'm sorry I haven't chimed in here since they fired Brooke, but this makes me blow my top!

WTMFF?

Even though I'm happy the writers aren't de-gaying Callie, I'm also really sad and disapointed because ABC ruined a really amazing relationship and fired an incredible actress. I really wanted Callica to work and having Erica being replaced is just really sort of sad for me. Grey's is getting increasingly harder to watch with every turn...

To replace a love interest (Erica Hahn) who had substance as a character and loved Callie, and to replace the beginnings of a romance based on a caring and solid friendship, for this??

And to have Callie repeatedly and hurtfully reject Erica, only to see her suddenly tripping over herself lusting after a girl based on her physical appearance alone??

Sounds like the stereotypical hetero male "hot girl on girl" sex fantasy to me.

I will never again be a fan of this show. I will not watch a show run by people who have done what they've done. I do not want to help validate their lack of integrity.

Honestly I think people like Erica more because they think what happened to her stinks. She was not that great of a character and I found her to be overly harsh and extremely hard to relate to on any level. She was a bully.

W/r/t Callica, Callie had more chemistry with Mark the entire time she was "dating" Erica. I don't understand why people would rather see it forced. Their relationship was awkward and painful to watch most of the time. Brooke Smith is awesome, no doubt, but don't be mad just bc you think she was replaced with someone prettier. Sadie is also a completely different character and shows a really interesting side of Callie. Sadie and Callie were sparking more last night in 5 minutes than Erica and her had all season.

Im all for Sadie and Erica!! But I also saw somewhere that it basically falls off the face of the earth for no reason as well. So I guess we'll see what happens. 

Because she was flawed: she was pushy and blunt, even slightly cruel. But I got the sense that she was motivated by perfectionism and a certain sense of social awkwardness. I can relate to that, as I'm sure many people can. And since we were being set up to see Hahn as a hertofore closeted and/or late-blooming lesbian, it seemed that there was a lot of room for her character to grow. Maybe in a relationship where she could be honast about her desires for the first time she might have become more open, more confident that she was likeble and loved, more willing to connect....

It strikes me as terribly sad and an insult to viewers' intelligence that the networks couldn't trust us to see past the facade. On the other hand, maybe it is they who can't see past the surface. As someone else pointed out above, the networks mostly seem interested in seeing hot young women getting it on for carnal pleasure, character and personality be damned.

I stopped watching after Brooke's last appearance, and haven't looked back since. The show has completely lost its appeal to me-- I don't even CARE if they want to continue exploring Callie's sexuality because the way I see it they blew it when it mattered, what's the point now? The writers and producers are floundering in a completely wasted space.

And honestly, seeing who they have cast as her new love interest really, REALLY gets me angry. Like, they can't be a little more subtle as to why they fired Brooke in the first place? Sorry... but I have a tendency to choose sides in these matters, and I choose Brooke! Screw this show.

They fired Melissa George for this??? *sigh*

There is no such thing as Silence

Whether it was just crap writing or an intentional boot to Brooke Smith's (nontraditionally normal-sized) behind, the Callica storyline was really low-grade, and kind of awkward to watch. Even with whole 'glasses' revelation was underscored by Callie looking uncomfortable in the corner. 

I'll probably watch in January, maybe. Jess Capshaw's playing a blonde pediatrician? Can we say Spencer Carlin's older sister? That has 'cute potential'. Chemistrywise, I think that's what Callie needs, someone who balances her out, not adds to her deadpan.

Inkblots

 Sara Ramirez Is really hot and I dont care what happens in the show as long as she stays. I basically watch it for her. Is that bad? haha

Do babies know that other babies, are babies?

I'm sick of this garbage by now. I think throwing random younger "hotter" flings at Callie is just crap.

Jessica Capshaw and Melissa George have nothing on Brooke Smith.

cuz the show is mostly one big frakin trainwreck. 

seriously, brooke smith could read the phonebook for an hour and i would be happy.  her voice is TEH SEX.
