      Absolutely. I just went back to S1. On 6 now. I knew GA would survive the loss of Derek, Lexie, Mark, Izzy, and George. Just barely. But I did NOT believe it would survive Cristina’s departure. The show changed but it did not die. April had much to do with that. Tough when Alex and Arizona left. Covid season was ghastly. I haven’t seen current one. Kate Walsh return should help. The show held together by Bailey now.

    In the original casting notes for the Grey’s pilot, the character of Yang was considered to be something of a rival to Meredith, and would have been the most antagonistic character in the original pilot. This was before they realised the potential for having the Grey/Yang friendship. A lot of things change. The original plan was to pair up Meredith with Burke. Bailey was originally imagined as a romantic interest for George. So many things changed after casting. So based on the original casting notes, before they changed things, Yang was considered more antagonistic towards Meredith.

      @@marykylaeroapras3064 this was a very early draft. They originally planned on casting “a tiny blonde” in the role of Bailey, to make her stern personality more of a contrast. But that was before Chandra Wilson came in and they adjusted the role. One of the blessings of Greg’s doing a totally blind casting process. The character, like Christina, was originally conceived very differently, so if they’d gone the romantic route we wouldn’t have gotten the relationship we saw onscreen, as they changed their minds.

      i was about to say the same thing, she really made a good move with that. for one, it would be harder for her to go for other roles having been christina SO long, much like ellen is basically only seen as meredith now. also listening to her i feel like she needed that element of evolving and not sticking to christinas character. they had done a lot with christina already, so even tho i was really sad to see her go, for greys and for sandra, it really was a logical move. tbh greys has been going on for too long and now ellen saying that theres a lot of money involved and many people depend on it, it seems like she keeps going so people can keep their jobs, not bc they still have GREAT storylines to cover.

      I feel like more than anything, her leaving grey's anatomy was more of a Christina move rather than a Sandra one, just like her character, she wants something more innovative, challenging! She was getting very comfortable with the character and that didn't bring her any progress that she thrived, just like how Christina wanted to conquer more in her surgeon career, Sandra wanted to discover more of her palette. And i admire this woman so much for her quick wit and self understanding methods, she knows what's good for her, she isn't afraid of rock bottom and she is well delicate with how she manages herself. That's what we call an ecstatic person.
