Sandra Oh would be bowing out of Grey's Anatomy after season 10.

Oh's character Cristina Yang will not be returning for another season after the season 10 finale this year.

According to spoiler rumors, she is set to leave Grey Sloan Memorial hospital and go on a head towards Europe. However, some rumors state that Cristina will be murdered when an explosion goes off while preparing to go to Europe.

There are also rumors that Gaius Charles, who plays Shane, and Tessa Ferrer, who plays Leah, would be leaving the show.

Actress Oh has starred in Grey's Anatomy since season 1 and has taken on the role of Christina for over ten years. She announced that she would be leaving the show last year. "I want this to be a celebration," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "I want us to get to that point where we see this character ride off into the sunset ... Playing Cristina and growing her and growing myself in her, I want to usher her into the next section of her life in the best way possible. It's got to be Cristina Yang's happily-ever-after."

The 42-year-old actress also recently tweeted a photo of her co-star Kevin McKidd, who plays Owen, with the caption: "Shooting one of our last scenes."

McKidd tweeted back: "My dearest partner in crime. It's too much to take! What [are] we gonna do?"

On tonight's episode of Grey's Anatomy, Cristina gets Meredith's help to prepare her acceptance speech for a possible Harper Avery win. April and Jackson disagree over religion and raising their children, and Callie and Arizona tries to recover their relationship.

Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on ABC.
