This is ridiculous. . . I agree the chemistry between Torres and Hahn was forced and akward. But that is no reason to eliminate her character completely. Plenty of Grey's characters have had break ups and stayed around. I don't understand the issue on any level
ETA: I found this article:

"As Dr. Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) might say: "Girl on girl is hot. Woman on woman? Just a downer."
Smith probably got the boot not because her character wasn't interesting enough or sympathetic enough but because she, especially when paired with Ramirez, just didn't fit the visual template of "Grey's" or indeed, of most of network television. She is a character actress, not a tabloid star.
In other words, and they are words I deeply regret, Ramirez, with all her lipglossed lusciousness, may be beautiful enough to be bi, but Smith is not beautiful enough to be gay. At least not on network TV.
Some ground, it would appear, is too calcified to be broken."
