Brooke Smith Joins Grey’s Anatomy Cast

by Ingrid Diaz on October 26th, 2007

If you saw last night’s Grey’s Anatomy episode, you know that at the end, Dr. Hahn announced that she was taking over as head of cardio (much to Cristina’s chagrin). Well, it’s official: Brooke Smith, the actress who plays Dr. Erica Hahn, is joining the cast full-time.

I guess this means she won’t be on Weeds anymore? I love Brooke Smith. I was so excited at the end of the episode when she said she was there to stay. Now if only they’d bring back Addison…

Well, anyway, for those of you equally excited by the prospect of Dr. Hahn, TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello got a one-on-one interview on the subject.

I can see Dr. Hahn hitting it off with Cristina.
Smith: Secretly, we pushed for that. You know, Sandra [Oh] and I played lovers in [the off-Broadway play] Stop Kiss.

You know, there were rumors a while back that Cristina might be bisexual….
Smith: I know. I heard those rumors.

Then it’s destined to happen!
Smith: That’s what I think. But I don’t know….

I think Dr. Hahn would make an awesome lesbian.
Smith: I think so, too.

Could it happen?
Smith: I honestly don’t know. I’ve certainly let [the producers] know I’m open to it.

What was their reaction?
Smith: They were like, “OK, duly noted!” I think they wanted me to shut up already.

The fact is, Seattle Grace needs a gay character.
Smith: Well, hey, you called it that I [would be] on the show full-time, so….

Cristina and Hahn? I’d be on board with that.

It’s an awesome interview, so check it out!

Thanks, Arieanna, for the tip!
