"Grey's Anatomy" Star to Exit

It was confirmed that Sandra Oh, who plans Dr. Cristina Yang, will exit the popular ABC drama Grey's Anatomy at the end of the 10th season. Oh, 42, has been with the show since it premiered in 2005. Showrunner Shonda Rhimes says she has had an ending in mind for the character but it won't come to fruition until the end of the season. Contracts for stars Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey are also up at the end of the season. The goal of ABC is to keep the popular show on air for as long as possible with as much of the main cast still on. Chandra Wilson, Justin Chambers, and James Pickens Jr. have also been with the show since day 1. Pickens' character has been electrocuted at the end of the 9th season. No word has been given about his fate.
