Dr. Cristina Yang is gone but never forgotten.
Sandra Oh, who played the no-nonsense doctor on ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” for 10 seasons, doesn’t plan to ever come back to the show.
Oh, 52, departed the long-running medical drama in 2014 following the 10th season, and recently revealed why she’s officially done with the series.
She told “Entertainment Tonight” on Tuesday evening at the premiere of her new HBO show “The Sympathizer” about why making a cameo on “Grey’s” is not in her future.
“I love that, I love that people are still [fans],” she gushed. “I love that you asked me that, because Cristina Yang is, of course, near and dear to my heart. [But] I will say, not anytime soon, my love.
“[I] feel like I did my job, which is that I brought to life a character and she had a growth over 10 seasons, and that it was true,” the “Killing Eve” star went on.
“She was ready to move on, and so have I,” she said.
“Grey’s” premiered in March 2005 with an original cast that included Ellen Pompeo, Oh, Katherine Heigl, Justin Chambers, T.R. Knight, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey.
The drama was picked up for a record-breaking 21st season earlier this month.
While the cast has undergone many staff changes throughout the past two decades, only Wilson, 54, Pickens Jr., 69, and Pompeo, 54, have mainly stayed consistent.
However, the “Daredevil” actress decided to scale back her appearances on the hit series in 2022.
In 2021, Oh previously stated that she wouldn’t be reprising her role anytime soon during an episode of the Los Angeles Times‘ “Asian Enough” podcast.
“It’s very rare, I would say, to be able to see in such a way the impact of a character. In some ways, you do your work as a bubble and you let it go,” the Canadian native divulged.
“I left that show, my god, seven years ago almost. So in my mind, it’s gone. But for a lot of people, it’s still very much alive. And while I understand and I love it, I have moved on.
“I love it, though,” she recalled. “And this is also why I really appreciate the show … that I still get asked this.”
