Greys Anatomy Has Finally Found Its Cristina Yang Replacement After 10 Years

Dr. Monica Beltran brings a no-nonsense, confident approach to Grey Sloan, reminiscent of Cristina Yang's demeanor. Monica's mentorship style doesn't involve coddling, but rather focuses on demanding excellence from her students. While Monica shares traits with Cristina Yang, she also brings a unique perspective to Grey's Anatomy, so season 21 must delve into her backstory and personal life.
With just 10 episodes, Grey's Anatomy season 20 hasn't had enough time to delve into each of its characters' nuanced lives outside of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. Even so, one newly introduced surgeon has a lot of potential; after a decade, she may be the perfect replacement for Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh). Of course, no one can truly take Cristina's place: Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary) and Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) have bonded with Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) in a sisterly way, but they're hardly her "person." Still, Grey's Anatomy might have finally found a doctor with Cristina-like edge.
