Sandra Oh regrets that an intrigue around Cristina and Burke was not treated
“What I could get from Grey’s Anatomyis having been able to create a relationship with the writers in order to have the responsibility of being able to direct where it [Cristina] was going to“began to explain Sandra Oh, who was heartbroken by the lack of proposal after her role as Cristina in the medical series. And to add: “If a problem arose, I did not hesitate to make my voice heard and I exclaimed saying: ‘It is not going at all’. I had face to face with Shonda Rhimes [la créatrice de la série] and a lot of writers, which was a challenge. But I think in the end, for the end result, as well as for our relationship, if you’re fighting for the series, if you’re fighting for your character, people can say it.“
To back up his words, Sandra Oh cited an example referring to a plot from season 3 of Grey’s Anatomy, when Cristina was going to marry Dr. Preston Burke. “Most of the series I did were not specifically Asian. When we did Grey’s Anatomy, for at least the first ten seasons, we were not talking about ethnicity. We didn’t touch on the subject of ethnicity, and it was intentional. And anyway, it was the right thing to do when it was., she said. In season 3, Burke and Cristina were going to get married and there were the two mothers, the Asian mother and the African-American mother, and I thought to myself, ‘Come on, there are a lot of stories we can do here ! ‘ But they didn’t want to touch it, for some reason. “
“I know I was difficult“
“There were scenes where I went there free, I did not let go, I do not know, at least ten times, and I know that I was difficult. And I really respect all the writers who have accompanied me. When we were in such an impasse, [Shonda et moi] we both stayed on our positions. But with just this friction, a third idea thing often came up, and I was no longer aware of it at all“continued to reveal Sandra oh, who recently thanked healthcare workers in an emotional video with Patrick Dempsey.
