Sandra Oh And Kevin McKidd Will Make You Cry

Last Thursday, Sandra Oh impressed the Twitterverse with her acting skills, and Grey's boss Shonda Rhimes says to expect more of that as both Sandra and her co-star Kevin McKidd have been turning in amazing performances in the upcoming episodes where Cristina and Owen will be dealing with their relationship issues.

Here's more on that from her interview with TV Guide:

Following the death of Henry, it seems like Cristina and Owen (Kevin McKidd) are about to hit a rough patch. What can you tease?

Rhimes: The explosion is coming. I think it's going to affect every corner of their lives. Some of the performances that Sandra and Kevin are turning in are, like, people are crying while watching the dailies. It's unbelievably good what they're doing.

Fans are really invested in the Cristina-Owen relationship and would be, ahem, very outspoken should anything happen to them.

Rhimes: I think everyone's really dedicated to them as a couple. I'm not going to say whether or not they're going to break up or not because, honestly, that's kind of not the point in this. But I feel like they're two people who really want to be together, who are fighting to make it work. What that's going to mean is it's going to be fairly painful, even if they make it work. It's going to be a painful journey.

I see a couple that love one another, and are committed to their marriage. As pointed out above, since when is a marriage a score board? Maybe a short lived one because without forgiveness and understanding there is not one marriage out there that could possibly survive. I look forward to this couple addressing their fears and heartbreaks together. Cristina and Owen both have their own issues with communication and they BOTH continue to have words "fail". I believe that they are capable of working on their marriage and obtaining 40 plus years.

Its always owen who abdicates. No matter what she does, its always ok for the fans. but not for me. I was a cristina fan once. Now the writers turned her into a coldhearted selfish cow I cant stand. Sorry. The Cristina I know NEVER would have aborted the baby. And I also dispraise this unhealthy relationship with Meredith Grey who has absolutely no respect for Cristina as individual nor for her marriage with Owen. Shonda Rhimes dissapointed so many fans with the abortion and all I can hope is that they will make it through. Because they are the only reason I watch Greys. So many dislike Owen and I dont get why. He made the biggest sacrifice of all. And held her hand. He forgave her many things like: when she offered him to Teddy, when she gave him back the wedding ring the very next day, he didnt push her when she quit the job to work in a bar. So I dont know why its always her being defended. I am on his side. Because you cant use your husband as a doormat all the time and listen to what Meredith Grey says.

Are you saying that Cristina never made any sacrifices for Owen? I find it interesting when people, with their selective memory, conveniently forget about Season 5 & 6. People always talk about Owen making the biggest sacrifice of all & holding her hand. I didn't know it was a contest, to see which spouse could out-sacrifice the other.

Before I get jumped all over, I am not an Owen hater. I also did NOT agreed with Cristina's decision to abort the baby.

People definitely forget that BOTH Owen and Cristina have made sacrifices for one another in their own ways and the thing is they don't view it as a contest or 'who made the bigger sacrifice' like some fans/viewers do. What I think is the issue here is that neither of them are talking about it and Cristina especially is not given much since the abortion to give the viewer any sense of what she's thinking. Hopefully with the next episode that will be resolved with both of them at least getting their emotions out there.

I agree with your post. Both Cristina and Owen have sacrificed and both need to use their words with each other.

I just get annoyed with all this talk about the "biggest sacrifice." Then people go on to list everything Owen has done for Cristina, but say nothing about what she has done for him.

It really is about Owen and Cristina and what they get from and give to their relationship, IMO. And SR's comments give me hope and a sense of how while that journey won't be easy, it's major life stuff for them both. Both have been quiet and thinking that's protecting their bond which is why we're now going to be getting these emotional scenes in which they finally share with each other how they're feeling. Sharing your feelings, even when painful, in a marriage can only be a good thing because it allows you to start to heal, figure out how to move forward.

This couple has always fought for each other, gone through hell and back for each other. I too don't think they view it as a contest but rather, a clearing of the air that needs to happen for them to figure out how to be married, how to build that life together.

I still get annoyed with all this talk about the "bigger/biggest sacrifice of all." Then people go on to list everything Owen has done for Cristina. It's as if they are keeping score, like it was a contest/competition. This is what I meant.

I know that C&O need to talk and share their feelings/pain, in order to move forward.
