Is Sandra Oh returning to “Grey’s Anatomy”?

The show’s Instagram site is teasing the possibility. One episode? An arc? All season?

Oh was so popular as Cristina for the first 10 seasons of the drama.

But then “Grey’s” wrote her out, she went on to a big and movie and TV career.

Since then, “Grey’s” has killed off or abandoned most of its original cast. Ellen Pompeo is barely involved. The show keeps getting renewed by ABC because it’s very big in syndication and reruns. Netflix subscribers love it.

If Sandra is returning, that should be a shot in the arm for ratings, which are now down to 2 million viewers per episode on a good day.
