Los Angeles (E! Online) - Why does a certain character on Grey's Anatomy suddenly have so little to do?

It's a question many readers have been emailing about, and now, inside sources are spilling what's going on behind the scenes.

Before you read any further, however, be forewarned: Naming names is impossible--the truth is a little ugly--so read on only if you want to join the guessing game...

A source close to the show tells me, "The reason [the actor] has not been on is because [he or she] has been a pain in the ass lately, trying to change scenes and dialogue, being hard to work with and putting up an attitude. The higher-ups were getting tired of it, so they tweaked [him or her] out of some episodes. That's why you haven't really seen [him or her] lately."

A second source seconds that emotion: "[He or she] is not really getting along too well with producers right now."

Eek! Like I said, it's not a pretty tale, is it? Not all characters can have equal screen time all year round, so I was thinking perhaps they were holding this character back for something later in the season...but it sounds like he or she might be gettin' spanked.

So who is it? Got a theory? Post in the comments...
