Sandra Oh shut down rumors about a possible return to “Grey’s Anatomy” after the show was renewed for an 18th season.
“No,” the “Killing Eve” actress said during an episode of Asian Enough podcast. “I love it, though and this is also why I really appreciate the show…that I still get asked this.”

"It's very rare, I would say, to be able to see in such a way the impact of a character," said Oh, who won a Golden Globe for her performance on the show in 2006. "In some ways, you do your work as a bubble and you let it go. 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."
