In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Oh took a moment to reflect on her two decades associated with Grey’s Anatomy, presenting a nuanced viewpoint about the possibility of returning. Her comments reveal a deeper connection to her character and an awareness of the audience’s attachment to Cristina:
I am glad for the show to use the character as they see fit. Absolutely. The character should still be there to service the story— and so, yay! As for actually physically inhabiting the character of Cristina and coming back…. For the longest time, it has always been a hard no. And it’s just…. I don’t know. I just don’t know. When you finish something, it’s a deep process…. I just cannot tell you…. I can’t stress to you enough how consciously I tried to fully process leaving. I don’t feel the need to revisit, but I also profoundly understand the audience’s love for this character, because I’ve seen it for the past 10 years. That’s the part that makes me just go, hmmm.
