News that Kim Raver, who plays Dr. Teddy Altman, has been promoted to a Grey’s Anatomy regular is causing the gossip machine to go into high gear.

E! Online is reporting that sources confirm that Katherine is still with the show, saying, “Katherine is definitely still under contract [with Grey's Anatomy].”

The source also says, “But I think it’s no secret she wants some time away from Grey’s to be with her baby and shoot movies, so bringing on Kim helps with that.”
