We got Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) back, so why not Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh)? Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and Cristina were the twisted sisters of 'Grey's Anatomy' for over ten seasons, till Cristina had to leave for better pastures, or rather Sandra Oh exited the show. Nevertheless, fans feel that the show has never been the same without her.

In the latest episode of 'Grey's Anatomy' Season 17, Derek reappeared in Meredith's limbo, as she is dying from Covid-19. The two can't get closer to each other, because apparently the closer she gets to him, the closer she gets to death. Teddy Altman (Kim Raver) is supposed to be taking caring of Meredith, but fans don't want her, and are requesting Cristina to return, who they call not only the 'cardio god', she's also Meredith's person. It has been ages since we saw Cristina, and fans have been waiting with bated breath for at least a guest appearance from her.

Fans are also worried that Teddy might let her personal life get in the way, and let Meredith die." Cristina go save your twisted sister #greysanatomy," a fan tweeted.



 

"We have no choice but to get Cristina Yang in Grey Sloan ASAP to fix Meredith #greysanatomy," another tweeted. "Ok.. so Maggie can’t be on the case, and teddy clearly isn’t in the right state of mind so.. they call Cristina! please? #GreysAnatomy," a fan wrote. "Cristina won't let touch teddy Meredith Grey .. I'm sureeee. So come back baby we need you," another fan wrote.



 



 



 

"hear me out... what if teddy DOESNT “have this” and she’ll end up saying she needs help, ofc maggie can’t bc she’s family which means they need to call the one and only cardio god, cristina yang? #greysanatomy," another fan wrote. "Maggie you better call Cristina fuck Teddy and her drama !!! This is Meredith Goddamn Grey we don’t need her (couldn’t even save Callie) ass #GreysAnatomy," a fan wrote. "Teddy knows she can’t handle this. Teddy knows Cristina could. Teddy calls in for Cristina & then her and Owen reunite because Teddy sucks. I said what I said. #GreysAnatomy," a fan tweeted.



 



 

'Grey's Anatomy' airs on ABC on Thursdays at 9 pm.
