Canadian actor Sandra Oh has been playing the role of Dr Christina Yang in ABC’s medical drama, Grey’s Anatomy for the last nine seasons. This ambitious, competitive and fierce character is one of audience’s favourites, due to her immense charisma and presence on screen. But earlier this week, Sandra left all her fans shocked and heartbroken when she announced that season 10 would be her last.
Not only were viewers shattered but even producer Shonda Rhimes claimed that her departure would be bittersweet since their journey together has been memorable. She promised to give Yang the “exit she deserves” according to the Huffington Post. This makes us wonder what she has in store for our beloved Yang, preparing us for her sad yet memorable exit, as was George O’Malley’s in season six’s premiere. Yang started thinking about leaving after she signed the contract for season eight, but it took her two years to emotionally let go and finally make this difficult decision.
“It’s been a great privilege to play the character of Christina Yang on Grey’s and I am both sad and excited to see where this — Christina’s final season — will take her,” said Sandra.
