Yahoo News Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo wants Sandra Oh to return
Ellen Pompeo does want Sandra Oh to return to Grey's Anatomy - but there is a catch.
The actress, who plays Meredith Grey on the medical drama, was recently asked for her thoughts on the recent Golden Globe winner possibly returning to her role as Cristina Yang, whom she played from the pilot until leaving the ABC show in 2013.
But, while Pompeo does want Oh back on screens, she also wants to see what happens in the next series of Killing Eve - and she's even willing to forego a Cristina Yang return to allow that to happen.

"Selfishly I would love to see Sandra Oh come back to Grey’s," Pompeo told TV Line. "But I also love Killing Eve so much, and I love seeing her have so many of these incredible moments.
"So, as much as I love Sandra, I’d rather see her shine out on her own. I enjoy that more. That's more gratifying to me."
This is a pretty sweet sight I gotta say.... @IamSandraOh no one deserves this more 💯❤️ https://t.co/JJEQX2aVEg

Recently, Pompeo also congratulated Oh on her Golden Globe win for Killing Eve.
Oh took home the gong for Best Actress in a Television Drama Series, beating the likes of Julia Roberts, Elisabeth Moss, Keri Russell, and Caitriona Balfe to the prize - and her former Grey's Anatomy co-star was evidently thrilled on her behalf.
This is a pretty sweet sight I gotta say," she said. "No one deserves this more."
Aww.
Grey's Anatomy airs on CBS. Killing Eve returns to BBC America on April 7.
