Sandra Oh Said “Grey’s Anatomy” Had A “Dedicated Sandra Whisperer” To “Deal With” Her Demands

Cristina has remained present on Grey’s since Sandra left the show more than a decade ago, with the character being included via text messages and other written correspondence.

The star has long maintained that she has no interest in ever returning to the character, but recently told Entertainment Weekly that she is starting to question this stance.

"For the longest time, it has always been a hard no. And it's just… I don't know. I just don't know," she said. "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."
