'Grey's Anatomy' Said Goodbye To Another Major Character

Last month, Sara Ramirez, who plays Callie Torres on ABC's long-running prime time show, Grey's Anatomy, tweeted "that's a wrap" with several hashtags indicating that Dr. Torres was leaving Seattle Grace. Fans were still unsure because Sara also added the hashtag Season 13.

Sara Ramirez was first seen on the show in the second season as a love interest for George O'Malley. She joined the cast as a series regular the following season and has been on the show ever since. During her ten years on the show, Dr. Torres became one of the first LGBTQ characters on prime time television, opening the door for more diverse characters. She realized her sexuality and stood up to her less than accepting parents.

Over the last decade fans watched as Callie married George O'Malley in a spontaneous Vegas wedding, dated Erica Hahn before marrying Arizona Robbins, got pregnant by Mark Sloan and almost lost her life and Sofia's in a car accident. A very tame life for a doctor at Grey Sloan Memorial.

This past Thursday the Grey's Anatomy season 12 finale aired and fans everywhere watched as Sara Ramirez's character, Callie Torres ended her 10 year run on the show. The later half of the season saw Arizona and Callie in a nasty custody battle over their daughter, which ended with Arizona getting full custody of Sofia.

The end of the finale showed Arizona at Callie's door with Sofia, two plane tickets to New York, and a plan to share custody. Her exit followed a post-Sara Ramirez made saying goodbye to Callie Torres.

Following the episode both Shonda Rhimes and Sara Ramirez tweeted about Callie Torres' exit from the show, pointing out that they left the option open for Dr. Torres to return in the future. Although that may only be wishful thinking for the show's fans.

The show has seen several original characters leave within the last couple of seasons, the first being Cristina Yang moving to Switzerland to take over for Dr. Burke. The other was Patrick Dempsey's iconic Dr. McDreamy following a car accident and a fatal mistake at a smaller hospital.

The other cast members contracts also expired this season, negotiations are still in the works for new ones. Fans are left to wonder if any other series regulars will not be returning when the season premiere airs in the fall.

Fans of the show were sad to see Callie Torres leave. Her character made television history and she will be missed.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
