Sandra Oh has revealed the reason why she left Grey’s Anatomy, after almost a decade on the show.
The 55-year-old actor played Dr Christina Yang from the first season, which premiered in 2005, all the way through to its 10th season in 2014.
Discussing her decision to leave the long-running ABC medical drama, she told Jesse Tyler Ferguson on his Dinner’s On Me podcast that she believed that she had completed her job there.
“I feel like I created a full character. I feel I grew the character [in] 10 years time, where it’s a believable growth. People grow in 10 years, and I think she really did grow.”
She said that it was a “real privilege” to be able to dictate and plan her character’s exit alongside show runner Shonda Rhimes.
