Cristina Yang, M.D., Ph.D., is a fictional character from the medical drama television series ''Grey's Anatomy'', which airs on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) in the United States. The character was created by series producer Shonda Rhimes, and is portrayed by actress Sandra Oh. Introduced as a surgical intern at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital, Yang worked her way up to resident level, eventually becoming a cardiothoracic surgical fellow, while her relationships with colleagues Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), George O'Malley (T. R. Knight), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), and Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) formed a focal point of the series. Yang was once engaged to Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington), had a relationship with renowned surgeon Colin Marlow, and wed and later divorced Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd). Oh originally auditioned for the role of Miranda Bailey, although Chandra Wilson was ultimately cast in the part. Oh has received generally positive reviews for her portrayal, with Mark Perigard of the ''Boston Herald'' considering her friendship with Meredith to be "the secret core of ''Grey's''". Oh has also garnered numerous awards and nominations for her role as Yang, including Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award wins in 2006. She was additionally nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series each year, from 2005 to 2009. Characterizing the character, ABC noted her competitiveness, ambition, and intelligence as her main traits, while her aggressive, and tactless attitude was highlighted as her main weakness. In May 2012, ''E! Online'' reported that Oh has signed on for two more years, along with her fellow cast members. Oh left the show after season 10 and her character Cristina Yang was written out as a main cast member.〔http://tvline.com/2013/08/13/greys-anatomy-sandra-oh-leaving-cristina-yang/〕 == Storylines == Cristina Yang is introduced as a fellow surgical intern to Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), George O'Malley (T.R. Knight), and Alex Karev (Justin Chambers); the five of them working under Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson). An atheistic competitive intern from Korean ancestry, she was involved in a car accident with her father, who bled out while she tried to help him. Yang also suffers from dyslexia, and was raised in Beverly Hills, California. On her first day, she hits it off with Meredith and the pair soon become best friends and each other's "person." She has a sexual encounter with chief of cardiothoracic surgery Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington) that leads her to being pregnant with his child, so she schedules an abortion without telling him about the pregnancy. However, Yang experiences an ectopic pregnancy and collapses when her left fallopian tube bursts; she then tells Burke. After Burke is shot in the arm and develops a hand tremor, Yang helps him to cover it up by developing a covert partnership. Yang initially denies involvement during a confrontation, but then confesses everything to Richard Webber (James Pickens, Jr.), the chief of surgery. Yang's actions jeopardize Burke's chances of becoming chief, which he sees as a huge betrayal. After a short breakup, Yang breaks the silence and Burke proposes marriage, which Yang accepts after eight days of hesitation. Afterward, Yang's ex-boyfriend, Colin Marlow, comes to Seattle Grace, trying to sabotage her relationship with Burke to win her back. Burke wanted a lavish wedding, but Yang was against it. However, after pressure from both her own mother and Burke's, she eventually gives in to a fancy wedding. On their wedding day, she doubts it is the right decision, and after a brief hesitation to walk down the aisle, she enters before Burke calls off the wedding, realizing that he could not force Yang to do something she did not want to do. Thus, Yang went on her honeymoon to Hawaii with Meredith, and Burke moved away. Burke is replaced by Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith), who immediately dislikes Yang for her affairs with Marlow and Burke, refusing to let her scrub in on cardiac surgeries. Eventually, Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) moves in with Yang, and she still tries to earn Hahn's approval. Hahn reveals that she dislikes Yang because she reminds her of an early version of herself. Yang then doubts her skills when Seattle Grace is ranked at twelfth on a list of the best teaching hospitals, while still clashing with Hahn. She is then stabbed by a falling icicle, resulting in a minor injury. She sets her sights on Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd), who returned from Iraq as a trauma surgeon, with whom she shares a brief kiss. When he returns as chief of trauma surgery, he and Yang begin dating, but Hunt has repressed memories of his time in Iraq, leading her to see him in a new light. Due to his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Hunt unconsciously tries to strangle her, which leads Yang to end their relationship as she is afraid of sleeping next to him. Soon after, Hunt begins seeing a therapist, and Yang confesses her love for him. Yang then becomes depressed with her lack of cardiothoracic surgeries, even telling Meredith she misses Burke. As a result, Hunt asks an ex-colleague from the Army, Teddy Altman (Kim Raver), to become the chief of cardiothoracic surgery as a "gift" for Yang. Altman is insulted by this, and considers leaving, but Yang convinces her to stay by telling her she can have Hunt back. Yang eventually decides to end their relationship once more due to Hunt not being able to decide who he loves. When Meredith's husband, Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) is shot by a deceased patient's angry husband, Yang operates on him, but is stopped by the shooter. The shooter is fooled into thinking that Derek is dead, who then leaves, after which Cristina eventually saves Derek's life. She also rekindles her relationship with Hunt after he got shot. Following the shooting, the two decide to get married, and she refuses to return to work as a surgeon. Yang later returns to work, but collapses as a result of a stress disorder. Shepherd forces her through her issues by making her perform the same surgery she did on him to a cadaver, and after a push from Altman, she advocates the life of a lung transplant patient. However, Yang then blames Meredith for her trauma and quits her job at the hospital, stating that even though she could be a surgeon she no longer wants to. She takes a temporary bartending job at the Emerald City Bar, much to the shock of her colleagues. Shepherd unintentionally helps her to get back to work by talking to her during her housewarming party and taking her on a fishing trip where she feels other emotions besides fear. Yang decides to go for the position of Chief Resident, but her hopes are brought to a halt when Hunt is in charge of choosing. The position of Chief Resident is eventually given to April Kepner (Sarah Drew). Later, Yang discovers she is pregnant with Hunt's child, and decides to get an abortion. Though Hunt accompanies her to the abortion, he is extremely angry with her decision. Yang then operates on Henry Burton (Scott Foley), Altman's husband, unknown of his identity. When the surgery fails and he dies, Yang is guilt stricken upon learning of her patient's identity. She and Hunt distance themselves from each other as they keep fighting over the abortion, despite attending marriage counselling. Their marriage comes into serious trouble when Hunt has a one-night stand with a patient's friend, leaving Yang heartbroken. She decides to move on, unsure of her future with him. As the end of the fifth year of residency is near, the surgical residents, including Yang, prepare for their medical boards for the different fellowships they plan on joining. After she passes her exams, Yang reconciles with Hunt and tells him she is leaving Seattle for the Mayo Clinic, Minnesota. Afterward, Yang, Meredith, Shepherd, Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw), Mark Sloan (Eric Dane), and Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) are involved in an aviation accident while on the way to Boise, Idaho to perform surgery on conjoined twins. Lexie tragically dies, leaving the other surgeons alone, with no sign of help on the way. Following their rescue, Yang, traumatized, suffers from brief reactive psychosis which provokes violent outbursts and makes her unresponsive. She becomes a cardiothoracic surgical fellow and goes, as planned, to the Mayo Clinic but has difficulties adapting to her new colleagues' way of working. As a result of her PTSD, she is unable to get on a plane to return to Seattle to say her final goodbye to Sloan who is dying. While in Minnesota, Yang develops a friendship with fellow cardio surgeon Craig Thomas (William Daniels). She mainly teases him with comments regarding his old age. She also begins an affair with the head of surgery Dr. Parker (Steven Culp) who has issues with Thomas. After Thomas dies from a heart attack, Yang returns to Seattle Grace for good. Initially things are fraught between her and Owen, she is confused as to why he hired her back as it seems he doesn't want her there. She finds out (by chance) that he actually pushed for her to be back, causing her to see things in a new light. She finally admits to Meredith that she wants Owen back. She is about to tell Owen that she wants him back, when Owen asks her for a divorce. Taken aback Cristina agrees, but later finds out that the potential conflict of interest regarding the plane crash lawsuit was a key motive behind Owen's request and confronts him. Owen tells her that he 'feels responsible' and was worried as he thought she was dead. After the confrontation, Cristina thinks things over and goes to see him before Bailey's wedding, finally admitting to him that she wants to try again, which leads the two to having sex. They sign the divorce papers afterwards and kiss, hinting that things are not over between them. In the aftermath of the plane accident, the hospital is sued and eventually found guilty of negligence. The surviving doctors including herself must receive $15 million of compensation, which leads the hospital to a near bankruptcy as the insurers refuse to pay. Those doctors and Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) buy the hospital with the help of the Harper-Avery Foundation to prevent it from closing, and each become members of the new directing board. After buying the hospital, she realizes that she was made for the O.R. and breaks up with Owen because he still wants kids. After breaking up with Owen, Cristina continues to excel at surgery and tries to keep her distance from Owen. They have sex shortly after they break up but decide it is better to just start seeing other people. Although supportive of Meredith's choice to become a mother, Cristina points out the fact that it has hurt Meredith's career and clinical judgement. This causes a wedge in their friendship. After seeing Owen with a new girlfriend, Cristina complains to Alex that her work suffers when she's not getting laid. When Dr. Shane Ross, a second-year resident, stands up to Meredith for her, Cristina gives Shane a kiss. Later, she begins sleeping with him. Cristina is informed that she could be considered for the Harper Avery award from her 3-D printing of a conduit for baby Nathan even though she was not confident it would be a success initially. While working on her heart trial Cristina continues to sleep with Owen and eventually helps him set up online dating. However, she realizes that all he wants is her. Cristina weighs the pros and cons of staying with Owen by looking at two very different outcomes; one where she is married, has Owen's kids and lets Shane take over her research and presents him with the Harper Avery, and one where Cristina and Owen have a 'no-strings-attached' relationship with each other but Owen wants more and eventually ruins himself. Cristina is nominated for the Harper Avery award and is a strong candidate however is passed over due to her relationship with the Harper Avery Foundation that owns the hospital. Cristina goes to speak at a hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, orchestrated by Preston Burke who built his own hospital following his winning of the Harper Avery. He offers Cristina his job as the head of the hospital so that he can spend more time with his wife and kids. Cristina accepts the offer and interviews candidates for her replacement position at the hospital, including Maggie Pierce. At the end of season 10 she says goodbye to her fellow co-workers she has come to know and love including Owen and Meredith. Cristina and Meredith share special moments together reminiscing about all the horrors they went through and dancing it out one last time. Cristina leaves for Zurich with surgical intern Shane Ross, who chooses to leave in order to study under her abroad. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cristina Yang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
