  • Sandra Oh Leaves ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ Isaiah Washington Returns

    Sandra Oh’s impending exit from Grey’s Anatomy was set into motion on Thursday evening, May 1st. So was the return of Isaiah Washington in his role as Dr. Preston Burke. Thursday’s episode marked Washington’s first appearance on the show since 2007.

    “It was very energized — as it would be with the person you were about to marry. ‘I used to look into your face all the time — and now where I am looking into your face!’” she says in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “There was a lot of things to play. And I hope it translates well.”

    The show’s creator Shonda Rhimes knows people are sort of all over the place when it comes to a reunion of these two characters.

    “I’ve had some people say, ‘I want them to get back together,’ I’ve had some people say, ‘They can’t possibly get back together,’ and I always tell people they need to remember that we’re talking about Cristina Yang here,” she says. “It’s not gonna be about whatever you expect it to be about.”

    Sandra Oh told EW her take on the first on screen reunion between the two characters.

    “It was very energized — as it would be with the person you were about to marry. ‘I used to look into your face all the time — and now where I am looking into your face!’” she said. “There was a lot of things to play. And I hope it translates well.”

  • Sandra Oh To Leave Grey’s Anatomy

    Sandra Oh’s brilliant portrayal of Cristina Yang on Grey’s Anatomy is so remarkable that it’s difficult to distinguish character from actress. Sandra’s impressive credentials include five Emmy nominations and one Golden Globe award.

    So, it should come as no surprise that the fans of the show are upset by the recent news that Sandra will complete her final year as the beloved surgeon on the ABC show, leaving in 2014.

    Sandra Oh released the following statement:

    “It’s been a great privilege to play the character of Cristina Yang on GA and I am both sad and excited to see where this, her final season will take her. It was an emotional and deeply creative decision for me and I feel fully supported by Shonda and the writers. It’s so rare in an actor’s life to be able to explore and grow a character so fully, so completely. I am profoundly grateful to everyone at GA for the opportunity.”

    The creator of the series, Shonda Rimes, returned the supportive comments by adding, “One of the best days of my life as a writer happened the day Sandra Oh walked in my door to audition and forever changed the course of Grey’s Anatomy with her brilliant, nuanced portrayal of Cristina Yang.”

    While the universal appreciation of an actor’s work is rare to find it seems in this case that the world is saddened by the exit of Cristina Yang. Comfort should be given knowing that Sandra Oh gave the viewers of the ABC hit series ten remarkable years.
