ABC Continues To De-Gay Grey’s Anatomy

First Brooke Smith was let go and her storyline with Callie scrapped, now Melissa George of Alias, who joins the show this month, is getting a makeover. Melissa plays Meredith’s (Ellen Pompeo) best friend and a new intern at Seattle Grace. She came on to the show as a bisexual character and love interest for Callie (Sara Ramirez), but Kristin@E!Online is reporting that they changed the script, and now she isn’t. She starts off flirting with Callie but it never goes anywhere.

Kristin@E!Online also notes that ABC also demoted Rebecca Romijn - who plays transgender Alexis Meade - from a series regular to recurring status on Ugly Betty at the end of last season. Is this some sort of effort on ABC’s part to remove all the gay characters from its network or just bad storylines? I really don’t see ABC being this close-minded, but we will wait and see.
