Of course Shonda denies it, she doesn't want it to be revealed yet. But thanks to Kevin, we know it's happening anyway.

I didn't know why Brooke Smith was written out, didn't interest me much because I was glad that she left, but now I read in an old interview with Brooke Smith that ABC pressured Shonda to fire her, and that she felt too like Shonda's hand were tied. So, it sounds to me like Shonda doesn't have problems with Brooke and vice versa. So maybe, it's possible behind-the-scenes wise, but I don't think fans will be thrilled to have her back (at all). Besides, the mysteriously returning character is also said to cause a cliffhanger at the end of 10.12, and I don't see how Erica could cause a cliffhanger (besides her return).
