A Shocking Exit That Left Fans Reeling
In the world of Grey’s Anatomy, where characters leave with shocking deaths or tear-jerking goodbyes, one departure still lingers in the hearts of fans. Sandra Oh, who played the fiery and ambitious Dr. Cristina Yang, was written off the show after ten seasons. But was it really a typical Hollywood exit? Fans have speculated for years about what drove the beloved actress away from the halls of Grey-Sloan Memorial, but the truth may not be what you're expecting.
