ThroughoutGreys Anatomys16 seasons, we have seen many actors come and go. Every time someone leaves, fans beg to have them back. Stars such asPatrick Dempsey(Derek Shepherd) and Kate Walsh (Addison Montgomery) are on the top of the list. However, no one is more requested than Merediths (Ellen Pompeo) person, Christina Yang (Sandra Oh).

On October 17, 2019, Yang made a cameo within a text conversation between Mer and Christinabut it wasnt exactly what fans had in mind. The producers heard fans cries for more, and this time came through with an even bigger tease during the November 14, 2019 episode.

WhenChristina Yangleft Greys Anatomy after season 10, fans were devastated. She moved to Zurich, Switzerland, to take a job alongside her old fling, Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington). Hopefuls thought we might see short scenes of Yang working in Zurich in future seasons, but the wish never materialized.

Yang made a brief appearance at Dereks funeral in season 11. There was a clip in which we see the back of Merediths head standing next to a brunette.

Cristina was there, Director Kevin McKiddtold TV Line. I presume Sandra was busy and unavailable for that episode, which was the only reason why [a body double was used]. That funeral sequence was meant to imply that Cristina was obviously there for Meredith. Her presence was felt.

Mers person also sent her a text during the episode titled, Its Raining Men. Meredith was catching a ton of heat from Bailey (Chandra Wilson) over an article that took Merediths words out of context.

Move to Switzerland before Bailey murders you in your sleep, read the text from Christina to Mer. Fans screamed over the excitement of the text, but it just wasnt enough to quench their thirst for Yangs return to Greys Anatomy.

During the episode titled, My shot, fans were given another colossal tease from Christina Yang. Meredith is on trialat a hearingawaiting the final decision regarding whether or not she will get to keep her medical license.

Things are not looking good for her professional career when her past patients begin filtering into the room. They start speaking on her behalf, thanking her for saving their lives. Then, to fans excitement, Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) begins reading a letter from one of Mers co-workers. Diehard fans of Greys Anatomy knew it was Christina who wrote the letter.

I can honestly tell you that if a surgery stood between me and death, read Karev, Dr. Greys hands are the only ones that Id want inside my body. Shes the light in a broken system that shell fix. She is the sun, and she is unstoppable. Sincerely, Dr. Cristina Yang.

The letter was not exactly what fans were hoping for in the way of a Yang return, but it did make viewers very happy.

As soon as he (Alex) started reading that letter, wrote one fan onReddit, I KNEW it was her and started happy crying!

Although Sandra Oh was not brought back for the episode, fans seem genuinely happy to have such a heartfelt letter from Christina read.

Christina is still present in Mers life, even if she isnt there physically, wrote another Reddit user. And weve seen that reflected especially well in this season. They continued, In life: You cant make an actor who left a show return, but you can do your best to make sure their character still exists within the universe.

Fans understand that Oh may not be able to make appearances on the show, as much as they ask for it. For the time being, fans are pleased with the way that the producers chose to add Christina to this critical moment in Merediths life.

Catch new episodes of Greys Anatomy on Thursday nights at 8 p.m. on ABC.
