Grey’s Anatomy Bringing Back Cristina? Here’s What Sandra Oh Says
In Season 20 of Grey’s Anatomy, Ellen Pompeo’s Meredith and Caterina Scorsone’s Amelia are working in secret to revolutionize the way that researchers approach finding a cure to Alzheimer’s disease. So it would only make sense for the sisters-in-law to call in an assist from Sandra Oh’s brilliant Cristina, right?
How Grey’s Has Handled Major Exits
Right. But alas, as Oh has maintained since she exited the enduring ABC drama back in Season 10, she has no plans to make a guest appearance the way that everyone from Kate Walsh (Addison) and Jessica Capshaw (Arizona) to Jesse Williams (Jackson) and Sarah Drew (April) have. “I love that people are still [so into it],” the fan favorite told Entertainment Tonight on April 9 on the red carpet for her new HBO series, The Sympathizer. “At one point, I was, ‘Come on, come on.’ But now I love it. I love that you asked me that, because Cristina Yang is, of course, near and dear to my heart.

“[But] I will say,” she hastened to add, she wouldn’t be back. “Not anytime soon, my love.”
A 2005 Golden Globe winner for her work on Grey’s Anatomy, Oh sees the operating room door as being closed. Nevertheless, “I hope people feel like I did my job, which is that I brought to life a character, and she had a growth over 10 seasons, and that it was true,” said the OG cast member. “She was ready to move on, and so have I.”
Is it time to give up hope, Grey’s Anatomy fans? Past time? Answers in the comments.
