Jessica Capshaw and Sarah Drew fired from Grey's Anatomy

I'm hot & cold with Grey's through the years but April was by far one of my most annoying characters.

YES! I feel sorry that the actress is out of a job but I'M SO FUCKING GLAD TO SEE THIS CHARACTER GO THE FUCK AWAY!

I know I'd stick around for that Shonda money and stay forever if I was allowed to lol but from a career standpoint her story/character was going nowhere and the writing was horrible. Owen is another one I hate. Salary thief!

THIS!
Completely crap for the actress to loose her job, but I've hated April since day 1 so glad she'll be gone!!

yup, I'm currently rewatching the show from the start and she's been awful about everything, every little thing that happened to her she handled poorly. I'm so glad she's gone

April has been my least favorite character from day 1. I've mildly enjoyed the character-suicide they've done to her this season only because she wasn't being so self righteous and judgmental for once. Not surprised she's exiting...I'm sure Sarah Drew was like "wtf" and confronted the writers about it and didn't get her way.

Also, Robbins has been ruined ever since she cheated on Cali soooo....fine with her leaving too. She had nowhere to go.

Same! I haven't watched since the season after Derek's death and I'm legit so happy about this news. Like I might even tune in again...

There have been such better awkward country girl schticks on better TV shows. They never knew what to do with her.

OMFG RIGHT!

April was fired TWICE from the hospital I don’t understand why they kept trying with her

Yup. I can't believe Derek brought her back after she was fired. I honestly haven't watched Grey's in like 4 years, so I don't know what she's been up to lately.

late but agree, she never should have been brought back after she ran away to kansas

What the actual fuck at Sarah only finding out two days ago. And if they were going to fire people because of Ellen's salary increase, why couldn't they have fired one of the long-running men like Kevin McKidd?

I don't care about April but I'm upset about Arizona (although I'm looking forward to seeing what JCap does next).

i'm SOOOO PISSED...I love Jessica Capshaw.....I had to find this out at work so I'm ready to go.

I LOVE HER TOO :(

Wait, is Ellen's salary the reason? I assumed it was about money because it always is but I didn't think it was because of Ellen.

They should've gotten rid of Owen. He sucks. I hate him.

Shonda, FUCK YOU!

Jcap is a key player and my fav...how can you announce this International Women's Day?? This is my last season then..hope they don't kill her off either.

wtf

The way April's character has been going downhill, I'm not surprised.

I am behind two seasons of Grey’s, but I am still so upset about this. April could be annoying, but I still liked her and Arizona was one of my favorites. Shonda has kept flop characters before, I can’t believe she is getting rid of these two!

Shondra tweeted this an hour before the news came out. what a fucking hypocrite.

Her statement is even worse. If they are underrepresented, then why are you writing them off?

lmaooo, she can't be serious with the devouted christian comment, they don't need representation, no seas pendeja Shonda. Mess.

lol seriously. Yeah, they're so oppressed. I guess she forgot that Arizona has a disability...? That representation actually matters, ma'am.

the worst part is that april was only christian when it was relevant to the plot. it never really showed itself in other ways which is why she quickly became a "let's stick all our underwhelming b plots on her" character

Dumb question: was this her decision or Vernoff's? Obviously Shonda's still an EP, but I got the impression she wasn't 100% hands-on with GA anymore, since she has like 19 other shows going. If it's Shonda's, I'm going to flip my shit; hasn't she treated enough cast members badly???? "There are no Heigls on my show," firing Brooke Smith, not defending T.R. Knight...jfc.

I've never trusted her ever since the whole thing with Isaiah & TR.

But annoying Jo is still there? K, i barely care about April but Arizona is great and one of the few lesbian characters in the media, yikes @Shonda.

she is so cute...

whaaaaaaat the hellllllll. Honestly I've never liked either character, but this seems like such a shitty thing to do. And I certainly haven't forgotten how Brooke Smith was treated, either. I know they're saying ~~creative reasons, but I assume that means "budget reasons"; interesting they chose two women instead of one of the 10,000 guys as well. HMM.

one of them being a lesbian. we all know how those stories tend to end.

Whereas with everyone else they could pair them up ad infinitum, but with her character they had to keep bringing in new characters which is totally shitty and I could see it as part of the reason.

I just hope the new trans character gets some screen time.

wtf is Owen still doing on this show??? His character has been useless for a while...

Exactly! They just keep using him as a love interest that never works out. Get of him.

fucking this, I'd trade 20 Owens for one Arizona

yeah why the fuck can't they get rid of his decrepit, useless ass uGH

Edited at 2018-03-08 08:07 pm (UTC)

genuinely feel like it's because he has the mcdreamy/mcsteamy ~allure~ for middle aged white women while also being a semi-decent actor. they can't put him and meredith together (trust me if they didn't think people would riot they woulda tried it already) so now he has to cycle through every new female character who sets foot on the show.

I LOVE Kevin McKidd but Owen is USELESS

i was never a huge fan of kepner but this is pretty shocking

They should've kicked off Jo while they were at it. I'm really bummed that this seems to be so messy. I really like April and thought her story wasn't done (kill off Jackson tbh his storyline this season is painful and Maggie deserves better). I hated Arizona but I hope they don't kill her off

Ugh, the whole Maggie/Jackson thing is so weird and forced. They're not related. It's dumb (and kind of weirdly disrespectful to her adoptive parents???) to pretend they are. Either get together or don't, but stop dragging it out.

it's still triggering as fuck to me though. Even if it's only through their parents marrying, it still registers as incest to me.

I really like April as well and I was curious how her story was going to end. I guess to "move on" from Jackson, she'll end up leaving the hospital for good. I'm not sure what's going on with Arizona, but it sucks that she's leaving.

Should have gotten rid of Owen first. I can't stand his character.

but Owen, Andrew and Richard get to stay even though the contribute nothing? smh I Hope Jesse Williams is out too, because Jackson without April and their baby makes no sense.

god andrew sucks. he was cute with maggie but ever since then he's been completely useless. no one wants to see his awkward semi flirting with that terrible actress of an intern either

richard is iconic, he can stay.

owen needs to go tho

OMG Andrew was great but now his storyline sucks. That intern needs to go

I literally had to google who Andrew was. DeLuca is hot but he should only speak Italian on the show.
