The bad news is that Sandra Oh is leaving Grey’s Anatomy, the good news is that won’t be until the end of this season. She told
The Hollywood Reporter, “Creatively, I really feel like I gave it my all, and I feel ready to let her go.” Then the Oscar nominee/Emmy winner added “It’s such an interesting thing to play a character for so long and to actually get the sense that she wants to be let go as well. [Cristina] wants to be let go, and I am ready to let her go. We have to start the process, story-wise, for the Grey’s writers to think of why she’s going to go.” Since we are a season of episodes away until she leaves the show, how she will depart the drama is unknown at this time. It is also unknown if she is the only original who will be leaving the show at the end of the season because Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo, Justin Chambers, James Pickens Jr. and Chandra Wilson are also up. I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one more of the departs the show. What disaster do you think that Shonda Rhimes has planned for the end of the season, just in case she has to kill a few more of her cast members off? Place crash, done. Ferry accident, done. Hospital mass shooting, done. Bomb, done. Major storm, done. So it likes death by fire, as in burning down the hospital is one of the few disasters left for them to experience.
Personally I checked out last year, so I can totally understand why she is leaving and why others might follow.
