Dr. Addison Montgomery is back at Seattle Grace! Well… for one episode, anyway.

Kate Walsh, who started her Dr. Addison Montgomery character on “Grey’s Anatomy” before spinning off onto her own series, “Private Practice,” will make a one episode appearance on “Grey’s Anatomy” this spring. Read the rest of this entry »

ABC has finally confirmed the return of a number of fan favorite shows (now that the pesky writers’ strike is over!). I’ve been hearing from readers about when Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy will be back with new episodes.

Desperate Housewives will return April 13 with five new episodes and a two hour (!) finale. Grey’s Anatomy is back on April 24 with five new episodes. Read the rest of this entry »

Following news that the writers’ strike has ended and everyone in TV land is going back to work, ABC has announced that nine of the network’s shows have been renewed for the 2008-09 season.

Naturally, “Desperate Housewives,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Ugly Betty,” “Lost” and “Brothers & Sisters” will return… but four new shows have also been given the network’s blessing for a second season: “Pushing Daisies,” “Private Practice,” “Samantha Who?” and “Dirty Sexy Money.” Read the rest of this entry »

“Private Practice” star Kate Walsh chats with David Letterman on the February 11 Late Show in this video clip. She shows off her new puppy, Flower. Kate Walsh is working with Pedigree dog food for their adoption program.

“Big Shots,” the new series on ABC, has been canceled. The remaining three episodes of “Big Shots” will not air (they had been scheduled to air in December), but instead repeats of “Private Practice” will be shown.

If you’ve never seen “Big Shots,” it had a cast that included solid male leads Michael Vartan, Dylan McDermott, Christopher Titus and Joshua Malina. The drama could only muster up 8.4 million viewers each week, despite the lead in from “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Newlywed Kate Walsh is already getting interview questions asking when she expects to get pregnant. The actress responded to an inquiry from “Extra” by saying, “Right now, my baby is ‘Private Practice’…she is beautiful, strong, and growing every week.” She further joked, “I’m pregnant with triplets now and I feel really good!”

Not to worry, she did set the record straight, citing the couple’s (her husband is Alex Young, a Fox production executive) busy schedules as the reason for the lack of pregnancy news. According to Walsh, “Both of us are pretty much working constantly and seeing each other when we can…that’s him, the pretty blond guy over there.”

Grey’s Anatomy made her career, and now it seems that Kate Walsh likes playing a doctor on television. At least that’s what her newest television show, Private Practice, seems to imply.

Of course, as the Executive Producer of Private Practice points out, “… The role she had on Grey’s seems to have taken her to the next level in terms of self-confidence and holding herself – all that talent suddenly gelled, she’s finally started to carry herself like the star she really is.”

Private Practice is a spin-off of Grey’s Anatomy, with Walsh’s character, Dr. Addison Montgomery, leaving Seattle for a Los Angeles medical co-op run by a friend. That means one thing: give it a try either way, but if you didn’t like Grey’s, Private Practice probably won’t be for you. On the other hand, if you love Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice might be just the thing to fill in that prime time hour on Wednesday nights.

The current issue of Entertainment Weekly features Kate Walsh in all her spectacular glory on the cover and contains news about the Fall TV season.
