abstract
  • Erica Hahn is a cardiothoracic surgeon who briefly worked at Seattle Grace Hospital and dated another employee, Callie Torres. She previously worked at Seattle Presbyterian Hospital and attended Johns Hopkins Medical School where she started a fierce rivalry with Preston Burke.
  • Erica Hahn is a fictional character on the ABC television series Grey's Anatomy, portrayed by actress Brooke Smith. Hahn was a recurring character through the show's second and third seasons, and joined the main cast in the fourth season. Prior to assuming the role, Smith observed heart surgery being performed, and admitted to finding the pressure of maintaining a realistic portrayal of a medical professional stressful. The character is presented as highly professional, to the point of being a "workaholic". She is notably hard on Resident Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), admitting that Cristina reminds her of herself as a student. She initially rejects the romantic advances of plastic surgeon Mark Sloan (Eric Dane), insisting that she prefers to keep her personal life separate from her professional life. Despite this, at the end of the show's fourth season, she becomes romantically involved with orthopedic surgeon Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez). The storyline has been praised for its realistic portrayal of a developing lesbian relationship, although consultants from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation have expressed some concerns over the somewhat exploitative talk of a threesome between Hahn, Torres and Sloan.
