Hold onto your scrubs.
Things were never quite the same at Grey Sloan Memorial after Dr Cristina Yang left.
Sandra Oh, who had been on the show since the beginning, exited the series in the tenth season finale after deciding to focus on other aspects of her career.
Following the announcement, she told the Hollywood Reporter:
“Creatively, I really feel like I gave it my all, and I feel ready to let her go. 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.”
But according to Kevin McKidd, who plays Owen Hunt on the show, she hasn’t ruled out a return to the series.
He explained to Entertainment Tonight that Cristina and Owen were his favourite couple on the long running medical drama, since “they were such a complex couple and really loved each other and were passionate.”
The pair still speak “all the time”, according to McKidd, and it turns out that the actress has some very strong thoughts about Owen’s storyline since she left.
He added:
“When my character got married to Amelia, she got kind of jealous and was like, ‘No, that’s not right! That shouldn’t be the way, that’s not cool!'”
Which, in our opinions (and his as well), is definitely a sign that Cristina needs to come back to Grey Sloan Memorial – and soon.
McKidd said that when he suggested the idea, his former co-star replied:
“Well, maybe, maybe.”
But he’s still holding out hope that Christina could be returning to the hospital once again, as he still misses Sandra Oh on set.
He added:
“I hope she will. I think it would be so much fun.
“It would open up so much again in the story and mix everything up.
“Owen, wherever he is in his life, would have incredible stories.
“She’s just such an amazing actor. I still miss her to this day.”
He was speaking ahead of the series’ 300th episode, which will see the Fab Five reunited once again – kind of.
After a disaster lands a number of people from a fair in the hospital, the Grey Sloan doctors are struck by how much the patients remind them of their former friends, including Izzy, George and Cristina.
