“For the longest time, it has always been a hard no. And it’s just…. I don’t know. I just don’t know,” Sandra told Entertainment Weekly while discussing the show’s 20th anniversary.
“When you finish something, it’s a deep process…. I just cannot tell you…. I can’t stress to you enough how consciously I tried to fully process leaving,” Sandra continued. “I don’t feel the need to revisit, but I also profoundly understand the audience’s love for this character, because I’ve seen it for the past 10 years. That’s the part that makes me just go, hmmm.”
Sandra is glad that the show has kept Cristina Yang alive by having her text with other characters.
“I am glad for the show to use the character as they see fit. Absolutely,” she said. “The character should still be there to service the story— and so, yay!”
