With 20 episodes of Grey's left to go, Sandra said that there are "lots of things coming up for the future" and that she hopes to explore different mediums.

Sandra's Favourite Grey's Anatomy Episode And Moments [Update]

This is what Sandra Oh said when she was asked to pick her favourite Grey's Anatomy episode and Grey's moments so far :

[UPDATE] All-time favourite Grey's Moment (via TV Line): 

 "I kind of have to come up with a bunch of moments, because honestly, I can't even tell you, there are so many storylines. I thought our Season 6 finale with the shooter was really, really good. And I really, really remember the moment when Meredith cuts Cristina out of the wedding dress. And then I remember a couple of key acting scenes with Kevin McKidd as Owen."  

Favourite episode: Season 10's "Puttin' on the Ritz" (via THR):

"When I said I was leaving at the 200th episode table read, my heart did squeeze and I felt a lump in my throat. Shooting was great, all in gowns in downtown L.A."

The 200th episode will air this Thursday (Oct 11). Click here for photos, sneak peeks and more from the episode.

Sandra Oh On Her Grey's Exit [Update]

Sandra Oh in a recent interview with E! Online about her announcement to leave Grey's Anatomy at the end of the season:

UPDATE: Video interview with Sandra and Kevin added.

"I remember when I announced it to my cast, it was the 200th episode and after our read-through—which was fantastic, I stood up and told everyone," Oh reveals to us exclusively during an event celebrating the series' milestone. "I did not want anyone to know through a press release or something like that. I wanted to tell everyone personally. It was tough."

"I'm going through so much therapy, by the way, to get through this. I'm not joking!" she tells us. "Not only to make the decision, but to actually process it out. It's been very, very emotional."

Co-star Kevin McKidd on Sandra's departure:

"I was really bummed. I knew it was coming, I think, because Sandra and I spent so much time together the past five years," he says. "So I wasn't that surprised, but I'm just really sad about it."

Sandra Oh: "Fantastic, Exciting Stuff" Coming Up For Cristina And Meredith - Interview

On The Red Carpet was at the celebration of the 200th episode of Grey's last Saturday, where they talked to the cast of Grey's, and in this interview Sandra Oh talks about how she feels about leaving the show, what she wants to see for Cristina, teases about "fantastic stuff" coming up for a storyline involving Cristina and Meredith, and her favourite storylines involving other characters:

Click here for more interviews with the cast where they talk about Sandra's exit. 

So what else is happening for Cristina in the upcoming episodes? Here's an update from other sources:

Cristina and Owen: Letting go will be hard to do  

“Now there’s a resigned acceptance of the fact that they want different things,” says Oh. “[The next few episodes will] grow them through that in a mature way — even though they’re still hooking up.” But will Owen ever make a move to finding a life outside of Cristina? McKidd thinks that could be in the cards. “She keeps pushing him to move on, so I think he’s going to try to move on." - Entertainment Weekly

... 

Sandra Oh: "You'll see how certain things change and certain consequences for Cristina. In the 200th episode, she gets a glimpse of the impact of her decision (telling Owen they should date other people). She'll get a glimpse of what it is and have to continue holding fast to that decision and being supportive of each other." - THR

Sandra Oh: Don't Off Cristina Yang!

Sandra Oh has talked to EW about her upcoming final season on Grey's Anatomy, and here is an excerpt from the interview:

On making the announcement to leave early on

“It’s really difficult to write television when you don’t know an endpoint,” she tells EW, explaining why she thought it was important to give the show’s writers time to plan for her departure. “For the writers…to know there are multiple episodes to write a story — to write a conclusion — is a great gift. It’s also a great gift to be able to play because I usually don’t know what’s going to happen to the character. For me, it can just infuse her with a richness that you can’t necessarily have not knowing that information.”

On Cristina and Owen

“They don’t want to be in the same place they have been. Where they are going, I just don’t know. It sort of breaks my heart to not be in the arms of Kevin McKidd now. But who knows? It’s a long season.”

On Cristina Yang, the modern woman

“I feel like Cristina — who does not represent a classic or traditional female character that we see on television — is really essential to the movement of where we are as women. A woman isn’t only defined by her career and a woman is not only defined by her role as a mother and a wife either,” she says. “It’s to try to see the person and the character as a whole individual. And I do like the differences between Cristina and Meredith because you get to see multiple facets of the choices that women can make.”

On how Cristina should go at the end

“I don’t know what they have planned. It can be anything,” she says. “She could, like — I mean, I don’t want them to off me. I know people have died on this show. They could send her to the moon. I have no idea.”

Sandra Oh Is Leaving Grey's Anatomy At The End Of Season 10

All good things must come to an end, and after 10 years of watching Sandra Oh play Cristina Yang so brilliantly week after week, Sandra Oh has finally decided to leave Grey's Anatomy at the end of this season.

She gave an exclusive interview to THR, which you can check out here and here is the excerpt:

Sandra Oh on the decision to leave 

"Creatively, I really feel like I gave it my all, and I feel ready to let her go," an emotional Oh tells THR. "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." 

Oh says she first began thinking about wrapping her Grey's run in May 2012 when what she called the "original six" inked new two-year deals to take them through the 10th season of the series. "I've gone through a lot of therapy over this," she says through tears. "I started thinking about it because I had to prepare myself. I gave myself two years to emotionally let go. At the end of last season, Shonda took me aside and said, 'What are your thoughts?' I said, 'I'm ready.'" 

Oh informed her co-stars about her upcoming exit during Tuesday's table read for the show's 200th episode and said the decision "doesn't feel real" yet. "I seriously think I need that much support over processing it over this next year for me to be able to leave fully and leave in a way that I feel like Cristina deserves," she says, noting that Rhimes has supported her every step of the way. "For the first time, at least for my character, you actually have an endpoint, which in series television you never or very rarely have. 

Shonda Rhimes on Sandra's exit 

"One of the best days of my life as a writer happened the day Sandra Oh walked in my door to audition and forever changed the course of Grey's Anatomy with her brilliant, nuanced portrayal of Cristina Yang," series creator/showrunner Rhimes says. "Over the past 10 seasons, I have been made better by Sandra's trust, faith and friendship, and I can't quantify how grateful I am for her collaboration on a character we both love so deeply. This year is going to be bittersweet for us -- we're both going to savor every moment of Cristina Yang, and then we're going to give her the exit she deserves. And when Sandra walks out of my door, Grey's Anatomy will once again be forever changed."

Season 10 to be a celebration of Cristina's "final run" 

"I want this to be a celebration," Oh says of Cristina's final run. "I want us to get to that point where we see this character ride off into the sunset. Letting go of such a huge part of my life … I want to cry right now. Grey's has been the most important role of my life. Playing Cristina and growing her and growing myself in her, I want to usher her into the next section of her life in the best way possible. It's got to be Cristina Yang's happily ever after." 

Sandra on acting partner Kevin McKidd 

Oh cited McKidd -- whom she called the "greatest acting partner you could ever ask for" -- for creating a place where she didn't feel as if she were acting but instead what Stanislavski called a "state of being." "You're not acting, you are in a state of being and you actually are the character," she says. "To actually get to the point in my career where you can experience that was the highlight of my career. Learning the rare opportunity of what it is to work on one project for 10 years -- that's like being married in television years for like a thousand years."

McKidd on Oh's upcoming exit 

Kevin McKidd: "I feel so blessed and grateful to have been given the chance to work with her. When I joined the show in season five, she was so welcoming and nurturing to me as a new actor on the show -- something I will never forget and be always thankful for. Getting to act with her every day has made me a better actor, and getting to know her has made me a better person. She is an extremely warm and loving person and I will miss her. I wish her every good wish in the world and will miss her at work a huge amount, but I feel happy to know that she is moving on to new adventures and roles to explore. Sandra has inspired me to diligently work hard at my craft and to never phone it in or zone out -- her professionalism and passion for acting knows no bounds. I have been lucky to get the time I have with her."

Full interview at THR

Sandra Oh can be next seen in the comedy Tammy starring a brilliant cast which includes Melissa McCarthy, Susan Sarandon, Kathy Bates, Mark Duplass and Alison Janney. Tammy opens in theatres in June 2014.

You will also be able to catch her at the Victory Gardens Theatre in Chicago as Paulina in the play Death and the Maiden, which will run between June 13 - July 13, 2014.

While Cristina and Owen weren't meant to be, you probably haven't seen the last of McKidd and Oh just yet. Kevin McKidd helped Sandra land the role of Gabby in Rabbit Hole and has previously revealed that he and Sandra have discussed about working on other projects outside of Grey's, so we'll be looking forward to that.

Now that Sandra Oh is a free agent, we can't wait to see what exciting projects are up for her next. In the meantime, Leslie Knope is need of a new friend...

What are your thoughts, dear peeps? Are you happy to see Sandra leave Grey's Anatomy? What kind of projects would you like to see her in next? And what would you like to see for Cristina Yang in the final season?

Sandra Oh and Kevin McKidd Discuss Cristina and Owen: "Divorce Is An Opportunity, Not An End"

If you think that Cristina and Owen are over after last week's episode, not so fast, because Sandra Oh has a thing or two to say about the matter.

Sandra and co-star Kevin McKidd were interviewed on the Grey's Anatomy set last week by THR and here is the interview where they both talk about Cristina and Owen, their relationship so far and what's to come next:

On ABC's Grey's Anatomy, Kevin McKidd said the one word that really could bring the end of Cristina and Owen's turbulent marriage: divorce. While his request was straight-forward, the motivation behind it was anything but as Seattle Grace's current chief was doing his part to ensure that the plane crash survivors -- including Cristina (Sandra Oh) -- received the financial settlement they deserved after their harrowing experience.

"He's in a corner and he can't get out of it," McKidd told The Hollywood Reporter during a recent visit to the Hollywood set of the ABC drama. "It's Owen being honorable and doing the hero thing falling on his own sword to save everybody else but I don't think [Cristina and Owen] are done at all. They've done a lot of damage to each other over the years but they don't want [to divorce]; they love each other."

"When he first asks for the divorce, obviously she doesn't know it's because of the lawsuit so she understands that he's asking for one," Oh tells THR, noting that it makes sense considering their icy relationship following his affair during season eight of the Shonda Rhimes drama. "You've seen the really angry abusive stuff, the emotional stuff and betrayal and after all that messiness, you get tired of fighting and just have to deal with the reality of the reality."

To that end, Oh says Cristina and Owen have moved on from that stage of trying to fight for each other and how their story line will play out will be realistic of a long-term relationship.

"What happens when all the fight is just drained out of them? I don't think either side is wondering why at this point, there's been so much s--- that's gone on between them that you can point to a billion things [that led to this]," Oh says. "There's nothing for her to really understand."

Their relationship, Oh notes, will come to a "crescendo" around Christmastime when Cristina reveals how she's coping with his divorce request and what Owen does. "I like to think of it as an exciting beginning," she says.

"They realize that maybe being divorced is an opportunity as opposed to an ending," McKidd says. "It almost feels like the notion that they get to re-look at their relationship with a very fresh outlook but divorce is a very final ting and it brings up a lot of emotions in people and it's tough for them to go there because they're kind of soul mates. It's a very mixed and very fraught period in their life."

For her part, Oh looks at Cristina and Owen's relationship through the eyes of famed feminist/author/poet/psychologist Marion Woodman in that couples could be married to their partners many times as their relationship evolves.

"The first phase is like projection, you spend so much time thinking the person is something they're not and because you fall in love with them and get to know them and then those projections have to fall off because they're not who you thought they were and I really feel like that is what's happening with Cristina and Owen," she says. "Then what happens is that people fight during that time and if you get through that first phase, there's a new one of individuals coming together but many people never get through that first phase."

"What's happening to Cristina and Owen is happening in somewhat real time so you have that same living, breathing relationship with them so to see people, when circumstances and personalities break people apart, to see how they could come back together and rewrite their own rules is really exciting," she adds.

"They really feel for each other," Oh says. "And honestly, there's no way Kevin and I are going to stop acting with each other. I'll put it in my contract!" 

And McKidd couldn't agree more. "They're very complicated and messed up but they're kind of made for each other," he says. "There's something about them that they can't stay away from each other for too long."

Kevin revealed in a recent twitter chat that he and Sandra collaborate and talk about their characters "all the time", and to read more what he said about working with Sandra, click here.

Interview With Sandra Oh On EDGE Online

Online based magazine EDGE has published an interview with Sandra Oh today, where she talks about Cristina Yang, Grey's Anatomy, Sideways, Arliss, handling fame and roles for women in television and film, and you can read all about it here

Excerpt from the interview where Sandra discusses the notion of fame:

EDGE: Is fame anything like you thought it was going to be?

SO: No! Can I tell you? Honestly, it was probably one of the most traumatic events in my life. And, ultimately, I think it’s detrimental to being an artist. There’s a lot of struggle. If you want to be famous, awesome! But if you want to continue being an artist, I think fame is a hindrance.

EDGE: Why?

SO: Your ability to be authentic is compromised. Fame is detrimental to one’s true artistry because that artistry comes out in the privacy of one’s being with one’s soul—when your soul feels safe in its surrounding to be free, to be authentic. Fame is a heavy, heavy cloak. In my case, I had a tremendous amount of struggle around that feeling of “threat.” There was a period of time when people would be sitting outside my house. How you manage that feeling of threat can go everywhere. It can go into your relationship, go into how you see yourself, and it can go into bad behavior because you start losing control over your privacy in your life. Yet no one’s pointing a gun at you. There’s no one actually “threatening” you. So at the same time you feel like your feelings are unjustified. I’ve thought about this a lot and I have no idea how people who are really famous are able to live and walk around, because they can’t just walk around. I feel that people—especially young people—cannot possibly comprehend the consequences of fame, of not being free. You have to manage your relationship with fame so you can continue to work and still be in the public eye. A lot of people can’t handle it and they leave.

EDGE: How has the smartphone generation changed the nature of fame?

SO: Exposure has increased so much. When someone takes a photograph of you when you don’t want them to, it’s denying you “choice.” Because you’ve reached a certain status, you don’t get to have the right to protect your privacy, to not be followed, to have a big fat fight with your spouse in public without it being revealed.

Sandra Oh Looks Back At Cristina's Journey In Season 8 - Interview

Sandra Oh has received five Emmy-nominations for her role as Cristina Yang on Grey's Anatomy, and in a recent interview published by THR, she said that she feels that this past season has provided her with some of her best material yet.

This has also been the season where we have seen some disappointment from the fans with some of the storylines on the show - articulated in the comments section on this site - particularly storylines involving Cristina and Owen, as well as Cristina and Meredith. 

So here's Sandra's interview with THR, who looks back on season 8 and talks about her favourite scenes, the season finale, departing cast members and cereal tossing on co-star Kevin McKidd:

The Hollywood Reporter: This season has been particularly grueling for Cristina: an abortion, a broken marriage and infidelity, all topped off by a plane crash. Which scene did you grapple with the most? 

Sandra Oh: It has been an extremely challenging year that has had a lot of ups and downs, both challenging and exhilarating. A lot of the scenes that Kevin McKidd and I did of Owen and Cristina arguing in their apartment was like its own story line. We would shoot all our scenes for a day or two straight, and that was extremely challenging because emotionally and physically it becomes really exhausting. Our finale was extremely challenging physically and emotionally. So, I'd say two things -- our finale and those apartment scenes where Cristina and Owen lock themselves in and just go at it. 

Cristina tosses a bowl of cereal on him, which isn't a reaction that Cristina is typically prone to. 

Wasn't that good? Kevin had to have cereal thrown on him eight, 10 times for that one because we did a bunch of angles. There is that one shot -- and we only did it once -- which was his close-up, which was also my best and most direct hit. He was a great sport about that. Mark Jackson directed that episode, so we had special effects make a soft bowl because I'm not actually throwing an actual ceramic bowl at him. But that was real milk and Grape Nuts. I really liked that scene because that's her first actual moment of connection with him after he tells her the truth. Even though it's physical and it's violent, it's also a connecting moment between them where she looks at him and connects again. 

Cristina rarely expresses so much emotion, which she did a lot of this season. It was a slow burn that started with the season premiere and carried throughout the season, which is different that the Grey's we've seen in the past. 

You see her express her emotions with only two people: her best friend Meredith and her husband Owen. To see someone being pulled apart so intensely, which honestly most everyone goes through in their life in some ways, if you're lucky you're completely pulled apart and then you have to pull yourself together, which hopefully will be the exploration within hopefully the next season. It's not like we played this in a couple of episodes; we've played this throughout the entire year, and the reality of the resentments building and things not being dealt with building and betrayals happening is closer to real time in the way that we played it. Being on a show for this long, you don't have to do things boom-boom-boom because you have eight years of history and developing the character. So you can take your time with things and let it soak in, in a different and deeper way. I'm super-proud of this year. Having been on a show eight years, for me to have the richest storyline now, I'm extremely grateful. 

Looking back on the season, is there one particular scene that you're most proud of? 

It's an earlier episode with Teddy (Kim Raver), and it was a very technically difficult scene: Telling Teddy that Henry (Scott Foley) had died was a difficult scene, but there was one episode after that where Teddy needs to hear what happened in the room over and over again. All Cristina does is tell her what has happened medically, and all my dialogue was completely medical; I would just spout this out over and over again because she would just need to hear it until finally at the end of the episode, something shifts for her and she accepts what happened. I remember getting that episode and reading it in the run-through, and all my dialogue was reams and reams of medical jargon. I knew I had to start memorizing it right away and asked them not to change it since it was very challenging. You saw a crystallized version of Cristina, where she does her job and she hangs on to what she has to do and delivers the information. It's vintage Cristina. Then everything with Owen is Cristina coming apart.

What was filming the finale like? You're on location in the mountains near Big Bear for more than a week after the plane crash, which adds a physical element to an already emotional episode. 

It was so hard. It was physically and emotionally challenging because you're constantly at extremely high stakes. The physicality for Cristina, she had to do a lot of things with one arm, and I had to do a lot of things with one shoe. You're running around the mountain with one shoe and one arm basically and doing things that way. And it's like we've had this cushy time on stages and in the hospital. But being out in the open on the side of a mountain was exhilarating; you cannot beat location work. I've done very little greenscreen work, but it's just a pooper. I don't care how much you blow that fan on my face, there's not a helicopter coming at me. It's really hard to manufacture the clear reality of what that is, but when you are on a mountain and you are freezing, you're freezing. 

What does getting out of the hospital set do for the cast? In addition to Big Bear, you were away from the set and on the Disney lot in Burbank for the hotel scenes for the boards. Could we potentially see more new locations next season as the residents begin heading elsewhere? 

It totally reinvigorates us. They had to build the hotel, the hotel rooms, and they built a bunch of other sets. It's reinvigorating for everyone, including the crew, who we've spent the last eight years on five stages. It's nice to go out; I'd love to see them in different places. We could possibly see them in other places, but again I have no idea what Shonda is going to do after this finale.

Filming the finale, in which Grey's said farewell to two castmembers -- Chyler Leigh's Lexie, who died, and Kim Raver's Teddy, who moved on -- what was that process like for you? 

The finale was such a great experience, everyone really got out of their comfort zone. Those were some really painful, devastating scenes. We saw one scene cut together, and I had to get my hair and makeup redone; I could not stop weeping -- and I wasn't in that scene. It was extremely difficult because people come in and out over eight years. It's rare to have certain people be around you for eight years or five years or even three years. There's a kind of carnival aspect of to it. A lot of times for plays or films you come in for six weeks, fall in love with people, and you leave. You become family members and have really deep ties with people even if you don't spend time outside of work with them. When you have to let go of some of those things, I found it extremely difficult and extremely sad. We've been down for almost a week now, and I'm just extremely depressed and recuperating, but it's not just the physical recuperation. This has happened to me before with certain projects that I have left that I feel really low, and I know we're coming back, but certain things and dynamics will have shifted, and there's a lot of that makes me very sad. 

Changing it up a bit, after so much heavy material this season, was there a scene that stands out when it was the hardest to keep a straight face? 

Justin Chambers is pretty funny and always makes us laugh during scenes in April's office. There's also an episode right before Cristina actually tells Teddy about Henry where Teddy wants to dance and have a good time and she's going like, "Woo-hoo, woo-hoo," and that was pretty funny. What I really like about our show is it's really a drama with a lot of really good comedy in it, and it's mostly comedy based on character. After some heavy stuff, I'm sure that they're going to give us some funny stuff to do. And Cristina's stuff with William Daniels when he's her proctor, I thought that was hilarious. I just thought how amazing is this if we're talking about medical shows past and present. I'd be so willing to do that in 25 years, to come on as a doctor to some other kid in a medical show.

What have been your favourite Cristina scenes this season? Tell us in the comments below.

Extended Interview With Sandra Oh On The George Strombo Show

In April, Sandra Oh made a rare talk show appearance and was interviewed on the Canadian talk show George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight. The interview was rebroadcast in an extended version last night on CBC, and you can click here to check it out.

Sandra Oh's Stranded Island Movie Pick

When George Strombo asked his guests to pick one movie to take with them to a stranded island, Sandra Oh's choice fell on Casablanca starring Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart. Hear Sandra explain her favourite scene from the film in the video below:

...

Casablanca (1942)

Set during World War II, it focuses on a man torn between, in the words of one character, love and virtue. He must choose between his love for a woman and helping her and her Czech Resistance leader husband escape from the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Nazis.
