Good Lord, you don't wanna get sick in Seattle Grace. They leave chainsaws with fingers stuck in them, which are then grabbed by guys with crazy legs, who use them to cut off their unruly feet. And the residents are cool with that, because they've got a lot more important things to worry about.
Like, their sex lives.
Which is why I was personally glad to see Dr. Hahn back full time at SG last night. Dr. Hahn is played by the fabulous Brooke Smith (daughter of super-duper-power-flack, Lois), and lemme tell ya, this Brooke ain't no Shields. Why, she's so tough she makes Bo Dietl look like Little Bo Peep. That was a good scene - "good" as in "amusing" - where she goes in to tell the David Clennon-character to say goodbye to his daughter - quickly - because she's gonna cut her heart out. Clennon doesn't appreciate her abrupt bedside manner (who would?! Except maybe Jack the Ripper) and it's left to girly-man George to explain that he'd give HIS heart to HIS father. (Well, good for you, George - the old man's been dead and gone a season. Easy for you to be giving away your heart.) 
Anyway, Erica Hahn brings a different dynamic to SG, and if my gaydar isn't broken, I would say this is a lesbian dynamic. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for some lesbian lovin' on "GA" - and as Sloan would put it, it sounds REALLY dirty when you drop the "g." I'm sick and tired of all these whiny hetero homeboys and girls on "Grey's Anatomy." Why, Jane Doe (she calls herself Ava, I think) isn't back an hour, and Karev's off getting "re-acquainted" with her in some laundry closet. Enough! We need adults around here. We also need lesbian love affairs. We need Erica Hahn. The story possibilities are limitless: Yang, dispensed by Burke, gets back at him by throwing herself into the arms of his old nemesis. Or: Now that none of the nurses will have anything to do with him, Sloan tries to "cure" Hahn; we'll see how THAT turns out. Meredith - ashless and loveless - finds a need to explore her emotional torment in other ways.
And so on. Do you see where I'm going here? That's right. Another "GA" spin-off. I think the Logo network would be interested...

If there is one more gay or lesbian on this show, I will find something eles to watch, enough already, I stoped watching Brothers & Sisters, because all the gays, and Ms. Sally Fields taking the Lord name in vain. Boy the Mouse has changed Years ago the MOUSE would have no part of this. Shows Walt left the Mouse in the wrong hands
I agree with this article- i get a strong vibe off of this woman, and I think SG really needs a Gay character. I can't believe they haven't had one yet. And to the person above, well, that's ridiculous. Homosexuality is just another way in which human beings are diverse, and need to be well represented in the media. No matter how much you complain that there are too many Gay people in the media, they are still underrepresented and overly stereotyped. A gay character on Grey's would be a step forward, and Hahn is a great place to start.
I find Hahn and Callie to be a sweet and honest couple. I don't agree with this article though. Just because they are bisexual or lesbians does not mean they will be sleeping around with everyone on the show. I hope that these two will portray a Real lesbian couple and hopefully break the stereotypes.
To dianefrz...if speaking the lords name in vain and lesbians bother you, how come your just now thinking about not watching the show? What about the adultery, premarital sex, or bad language? Those to me seem a little more worrisome then a gay couple.
