I don't usually care when an actor or actress bails on a hit television show. I do like to point out to them that they are being idiots because no one should ever leave a show that is on the air. Ever. They should have to drag you out screaming to mess up that weekly paycheck which is going to be way higher than anything else you are likely to see as an actor. I am making an exception for Sandra Oh. I have a fondness for Sandra so in my mind she can do no wrong. She has been on the show for ten years and has made a pile of money and has shown that she can get work. Sure, it won't be as high paying as Grey's but she probably has a ton saved. I can understand someone saying that after ten years, there is just nothing more to give the character and you are tired of playing that person and would like to play someone else. It is not like she got all diva after two seasons and left and is now hoping against hope that she can get back on television and stop making movies that suck. Speaking of movies that suck, my mom was watching The Big Wedding last night. I'm not sure there has been a worse movie produced in the past few years and I am including Sharknado in that because at least Sharknado you could consider campy. Wow.
Anyway, Sandra has been great and I don't think you can blame her or her decision for wanting to leave after this season.
