DEMPSEY MOCKS ABC SACKING COMMENTS
GREY’S ANATOMY star PATRICK DEMPSEY made light of the recent axing of co-star BROOKE SMITH - by mocking the scripted comments TV bosses told him to repeat in interviews.
Smith, who plays gay doctor Erica Hahn on the hit medical show, is to be written out of the series - and ABC network executives in America have issued a statement they would like the actress’ soon-to-be ex-castmates to repeat when quizzed on TV.
But Dempsey is refusing to take play the publicity game, purposely stumbling over the official quote during a recent taping of comic Ellen DeGeneres’ talkshow.
The actor said, "ABC actually sends me over what I should (say)…I should say, ‘We’ve had a great time working with her and that the conclusion of her (character) has been orgasmic…’ - I’m sorry, I’m dyslexic - ‘organic ending to the story line.’"
