McDreamy talks to Ellen about the demise of lesbian storyline on "Grey's Anatomy"

With the election dominating our hearts and minds, I have not had sufficient opportunity to rant about the baffling firing of the splendid actress Brooke Smith from "Grey's Anatomy" which means an end to the lesbian relationship between her character and Dr. Callie Torres played by the sensational Sara Ramirez. They should send Smith over to "Private Practice." She would save the show!

Patrick Dempsey, one of the most gorgeous men alive, discussed it with Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show which aired today. The following account is via Huffington Post:

Today "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey goes on Ellen and talks about the surprise firing of Brooke Smith, one half of the show's new lesbian relationship:

"ABC actually sends me over what I should [say] ...," he tells Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show Wednesday.

So what's the official spin?

"ABC's response ... is that [I] should say: 'We've had a great time working with her and that the conclusion of her [character] has been orgasmic' -- I'm sorry, I'm dyslexic! -- 'organic' ending to the story line.' "

Some have argued that Smith was axed because of her character's developing relationship with Dr. Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez).

"Thursday night is her last show, which is too bad she has been great character," McDreamy continues. "I don't know what happened with that story line. They decided not to continue it for some reason."
