According to TVLine's Megan Masters, Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, Sandra Oh, Justin Chambers, James Pickens, Jr. and Chandra Wilson have all signed new two-year contracts with the show. Here's a quote from Shonda Rhimes that was included in the article, which gives some scoop on how the cast's previously uncertain futures with the show affected her plans for the season:
Showrunner Shonda Rhimes told TVLine in January that she was resolved to designing a fitting finale to Grey’s current eighth season, despite not knowing which members of the original cast would and would not return next fall.
“[It] was the most complex puzzle I’ve had to put together — ever,” she shared. ”We have all these moveable pieces of who’s coming back and who’s not, and finally I just decided to focus on what was going to be best creatively [and] make it work regardless of what is happening [off screen].”
ABC has yet to formally order a ninth season of Grey’s; the network reveals its 2012-13 TV schedule next Tuesday.

My thoughts: I'm beyond thrilled that Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, Justin Chambers, James Pickens, Jr. and Chandra Wilson have all signed new contracts with the show since I love all of their characters. However, I have to admit that since I've never really liked the character Christina, a big part of me was hoping that Sandra Oh wasn't going to sign a new contract and that she would be leaving the show. Don't get me wrong, I like Sandra Oh as an actress in the other things that I've seen her in, it's just that I've never really liked the character Christina.
