There’s nothing like a single dad to get things all messed up.
After delaying Samantha Who‘s January return for several weeks (expanded versions of The Bachelor have been doing quite well), ABC has decided to scratch their original midseason plans and start anew.

ABC Departure Gossip: Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Brothers & Sisters
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Grey’s Anatomy, News, Rumors,
Some of your favorite ABC shows might look a little different in the months to come:
Grey’s Anatomy: Do the producers have a thing against blondes? Or sexually ambiguous blondes? Although there was possibility Sadie Harris would be sticking around Seattle Grace for a while, Melissa George‘s stint on the show has now ended. The actress - who was originally contracted for at least four episodes - wound up playing intern for a total of eight.
Despite George’s claim that it was her decision to leave the show, sources tell EW that the parting was fairly mutual. (“Melissa’s arc came to a natural end,” reports an insider.) Fortunately for viewers, Sadie’s exit won’t be as random as Erica Hahn’s. “It won’t be a big send-off, but it’s really cool what they do,” George reports.
