Grey's Anatomy legend addresses possible show return and it's not good news
Former Grey's Anatomy star Sandra Oh has opened up on the possibility of returning to the long-running medical drama
Grey's Anatomy star Sandra Oh has shared her thoughts on a potential return to the show, and it's not good news.
Sandra is most recognised for her role as cardiothoracic surgeon Cristina Yang in the long-running medical drama.
Cristina was part of the original group of interns, alongside Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), and George O'Malley (TR Knight).
During her tenure on the show, Cristina was at the centre of numerous high-profile storylines.
Her relationship with Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington) notably concluded on their wedding day in the third series, she was left shaken following the hospital shooting at the end of the sixth series, and was aboard the plane that crashed in the eighth series, reports the Mirror US.
After ten series, Cristina departed Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital for a job in Zurich, Switzerland. She took up a position at the Klausman Institute for Medical Research, a hospital established by her former mentor and ex-fiancé, Preston.
Since then, Sandra has starred in a variety of popular films and TV shows, including Killing Eve, The Chair and Turning Red.
More than a decade after her departure from Grey's Anatomy, fans are still holding out hope for Cristina's comeback. However, Sandra has now addressed the possibility, and it's not the news fans were hoping for.
In a chat with Deadline, the 53-year-old actress expressed appreciation for the show's fans, but also stated that she had "to be true" to herself.
"What I have noticed, this is ten years out from leaving the show, is the deep appreciation that I have for the people who appreciate Cristina," Sandra said.
"It is that love that has made me go, 'Oh, the fans really, really, really want it,' and for the first time, that's when I started opening up the idea."
However, she added: "For me, I think to really be true to the people who enjoy your work, you have to be true to yourself. So, at this point, I don't think so."
This sentiment echoes what Sandra expressed last year when probed about reprising her role as Cristina.
"I love that you asked me that, because Cristina Yang is, of course, near and dear to my heart. [But] I will say, not anytime soon, my love," she had previously shared with Entertainment Tonight.
"I hope people feel like I did my job, which is that I brought to life a character and she had a growth over ten seasons, and that it was true. She was ready to move on, and so have I."
The season 21 finale of Grey's Anatomy aired in May, culminating in a nail-biting cliffhanger as a mother threatened to blow up a gas tank unless Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) performed surgery on her child.
The explosive conclusion left viewers on the edge of their seats, with the destinies of several characters up in the air. Fans are eagerly awaiting the premiere of season 22 later this year to discover the aftermath of the devastating blast.

Virgin River fans still fuming at 'confusing' Mel and Jack storyline in Netflix hit
Netflix drama Virgin River has proven to be a huge hit with subscribers, but some fans have spotted some baffling plot holes in the show's timeline Fans of the hit Netflix romance, Virgin River, have expressed their frustration over some perplexing plot decisions. The beloved small-town drama centres on nurse practitioner Mel Monroe (portrayed by Alexandra Breckenridge), who relocates to the North California village after a personal tragedy. She soon embarks on a relationship with local pub owner and former Marine Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson), and they exchanged vows in the sixth series. However, Mel's seemingly idyllic new life has been far from perfect, as she's faced numerous personal hurdles and local dramas throughout Virgin River's six seasons to date. As anticipation builds for the seventh series of the Netflix sensation, which has just wrapped up filming, fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the storyline so far, reports the Mirror US. One particularly disgruntled viewer turned to Reddit after reaching the fifth series and noticing some glaring inconsistencies in the plot. "6 months since Mel moved to Virgin River?" they started their post. "I just got to S5E1. Jack said that Charmaine was 5 months pregnant and Mel is 2 months pregnant," the viewer added. "I'm just so confused about the time in this series. And damn Mel moves on quickly! "She lost her baby 2 years ago, her husband 1 year ago and now she is pregnant and engaged to a man she has known for, what 6 months?" The swift timeline has frequently left fans puzzled, as a lot can transpire in just a week in Virgin River. From shocking family secrets to local crimes and natural calamities, some series seem to unfold over mere days despite the whirlwind of events. Jack's former flame Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) was notably expecting for several seasons. Additionally, Mel appears eager to tie the knot and begin a new family just months after her first husband's devastating demise. Watch Squid Game season 3 - Free Netflix subscription from £15 Sky Get deal here Product Description A viewer commented: "That happens quite often in TV shows. "Time moves slowly but a lot happens! It's not always easy to do [a] time jump and keep viewers invested in storylines. "The pregnancy wasn't planned I believe, getting engaged after 6 months is fast but not unheard of." Yet another viewer countered: "Definitely not unheard of, but her husband hadn't even been dead a year when she met Jack, and 6 months after she wants to marry him. "I think it is crazy fast thinking about how she mourned her husband when arriving to Virgin River." The sixth season addressed some of these pacing issues by advancing the timeline by roughly six months. Whether season seven will follow suit or if the drama will continue to baffle audiences remains to be seen.

'Most disturbing horror movie of all time' based on true events now available to stream
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is often considered to be one of the most disturbing horror movies of all time - and it's now available to watch on Amazon Prime for those brave enough Decades after its initial release, the divisive horror film 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' is now available for streaming, igniting fiery debates among viewers. While some label it a "nightmarish" masterpiece, others take serious issue with its content. Shockingly, since its 1974 debut on the big screen, 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' – an indie flick masterminded by Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel – continues to provoke sharp divisions within the horror community. Drawing inspiration from the chilling true-crime exploits of Ed Gein, the film has gained a notorious reputation for its ghastly murders and grizzly collection of human souvenirs. Its promotional hook claimed it was based on 'true events', enticing audiences into cinemas with the hope of delivering more than your average fright. The intention was to mirror the turbulent political atmosphere of the 70s, but the film largely became infamous for eliciting sheer terror among viewers. Following a troupe of friends embarking on a trip to an ancestral property, they soon encounter deranged psychopaths. Each friend becomes a grotesque target, meeting their ends through barbaric means, including – as the title unambiguously suggests – a chainsaw, reports the Mirror US. A viewer expressing their opinion on Rotten Tomatoes remarked: "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a gripping, visceral experience that captures the raw realism of arthouse cinema. It's terrifying in its authenticity, drawing unsettling parallels between the treatment of animals and the victims in the film." One movie buff reviewed it online: "An absolutely amazing slasher film, especially for the time it was made in. The way this movie is shot feels like a documentary; it feels very authentic and real, which adds to the horror a lot more. "However, some of the scare does get taken away from the movie because of how goofy the Sawyer family is, which adds a little bit of comedy, but there's nothing wrong with that for me. Really good movie. 10/10." Despite facing bans across numerous countries and being pulled from several cinemas following audience complaints over extreme violence, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has carved its name into horror history, spawning a franchise that includes sequels, remakes, comics, and even video games featuring the iconic Leatherface. Another viewer said: "A nightmarish experience from start to end, this horror classic isn't airtight all the way through, but it truly has an impeccable atmosphere and terrific camerawork. That scene around the kitchen table is probably some of the most frightening sequences I have ever seen in my life." Today, critics look back on the flick as revolutionary, impacting not just the horror genre, but also paving the way for an entirely fresh subgenre of terror films. Its ingenuity is often honoured for contributing to the rise of the slasher film and introducing power tools as symbols of horror used by countless intimidating villains in cinema. For those eager to delve into a film often deemed "disturbing" and form their own opinion, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime.

Brad Pitt's top 10 films ranked by Rotten Tomatoes as fans 'speechless' at number 1
Brad Pitt's acting career has seen him star in almost 50 films, and now Rotten Tomatoes has ranked them all in order Brad Pitt, a titan in Hollywood and a household name, is synonymous with A-list status and one of the most distinguished faces in entertainment. So which of his silver screen appearances are considered the pinnacle of his career? Rotten Tomatoes has compiled a definitive ranking for film buffs. Utilising copious critiques from cinema-goers who inadvertently placed them, the films have been ordered from standout to less stellar. Now at 61 and with nearly half a century of films under his belt dating back to the late 1980s, Pitt has a plethora of performances that fans are keen to discuss. Rotten Tomatoes amalgamates these user reviews to conjure a cumulative score for each title, thereby curating Brad Pitt's comprehensive cinematic repertoire ranked from top-tier to lesser-known entries. To the anticipation of few, soaring to the top spot with an impressive 95% rating is '12 Years a Slave'. Debuted in 2013, this poignant piece showcases Pitt as an abolitionist amidst the zenith of America's slave era, cementing one of his most powerful portrayals, reports the Mirror US. A particular review from Rotten Tomatoes encapsulates the impact of the film: "This movie left me speechless. It's the kind of movie that is amazing in every way, but you never want to watch again. It's that effective with its emotional brutality. It doesn't shy away from the sheer horrors of American slavery." However, what might surprise film critics is that Pitt's second-highest rated film is actually one of his lesser-known roles, Moneyball. In 2011, the Hollywood A-lister starred in the sports drama, which tells the real-life story of the Oakland Athletics baseball team's ascent to fame through savvy financial decisions. The film boasts an impressive cast, including Jonah Hill, Chris Pratt, and Philip Hoffman, but for many viewers, Pitt's performance is a major factor in its high 94% rating. One fan raved: "This is one of my favorite Brad Pitt films," while others praised his "fantastic acting" as the baseball manager. A review reads: "All-Time Classic. Acting is excellent. Everyone gives really good performances, but Brad Pitt is excellent and just sends it over the top with an interesting character to boot." Not far behind in third place is a film that takes us back to the 90s and Pitt's minor role in True Romance. As far as films he's been a part of go, this one earns its high ranking thanks to its screenplay, penned by none other than Quentin Tarantino. Although Pitt's part is not a main casting, he did go on to work with Tarantino in other capacities, starring in both Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, both directed by the acclaimed filmmaker. One enthusiast hailed it as their "favourite film of all time." They penned: "This film has everything: great dialogue, a superb score/soundtrack, cinematography, story, humour, action, thrills, and, most importantly, great characters portrayed with a cast of some of my favourite actors." Among the entire list of 49 films, languishing at the bottom was an early work from Pitt's career, dating back to 1992. In this film, he portrays a cartoonist who finds himself immersed in a whimsical cartoon universe. Cool World is a blend of live action and animation, a combination that didn't sit well with most viewers, resulting in a dismal score of just 4%. Brad Pitt's Top 10 films ranked by Rotten Tomatoes 12 Years a Slave (2013) Moneyball (2011) True Romance (1993) Inglourious Basterds (2009) The Big Short (2015) 12 Monkeys (1995) Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood (2019) Thelma & Louise (1991) The Tree of Life (2011) Seven (1995)
