As Sandra Oh's departure from Grey's Anatomy draws near, her co-star dished on what fans can expect.

Alex and Jo Break Up Because Of New Rule?

Kevin McKidd, who plays Dr. Owen Hunt, revealed that Oh's character, Cristina Yang, will envision what could happen in the former couple's future. The ex-lovers are currently broken up because of their different views on having a family.

"A patient makes Cristina's character [think about] possible scenarios of where they're going to end up because they keep coming back to each other," the actor told TVGuide.

However, it's unclear whether or not Cristina will want to pursue a relationship with Owen again.

As EnStars previously reported, one of Cristina's other ex-boyfriends will also return for her exit and he will play a significant role in it.

Isaiah Washington is set to reprise his role as Dr. Preston Burke for one episode in May.

"It's important to me that Cristina's journey unfolds exactly as it should," said show creator Shonda Rhimes in a statement. "Burke is vital to that journey - he gives her story that full-circle moment we need to properly say goodbye to our beloved Cristina Yang."

Oh announced her decision to leave the ABC show back in August. The 42-year-old actress, who appeared on the show since season 1 premiered in 2005, said she wants to start a new chapter in her life.

"Creatively, I really feel like I gave it my all, and I feel ready to let her go," Oh told The Hollywood Reporter. "It's such an interesting thing to play a character for so long and to actually get the sense that she wants to be let go as well."
