I have mixed feelings here. I love Kate and the character of Addison. I never thought her story line was finished on Greys, but now that she is with a new group of characters I don’t know if I want her to return there. I do, however, think Kate Walsh will kick some major ass if she returns. Kate had this awsome chemistry with the cast, especially with Karev and Callie and the Chief and Baily and I would love to see that again. But I feel like this is such a ratings ploy on the part of GA and ABC. It’s like they are saying “If we put Kate on, they will come”.
I find it very interesting to read that most people are saying they will now have to watch GA again if Kate returns. I will watch the episode, but I just hope this doesn’t hurt Private Practice.

I still don’t know if this is true. Just yesterday, they confirmed it was only a rumor.

KW is fortunate to have fans who revere her so much that they give her power to play on the audiences.
I won’t be hypocritical, it’s possible that the return of Addie plays on the viewers, KW has her own public.
PrP has an average audience of 10 millions, next year if NBC puts PrP in competition with a show successful PrP may suffer, Criminal Minds roundup rate, Bionic Woman hasn’t worked and it isn’t because of PrP but Criminal Minds whose audience has increased.
Her return is a double effect: booster GA and not to forget Addie.

What is certain is that we would not forget KW, she’s everywhere, when new bikini photos ?

I wonder if she and PD will do scenes, seeing as he said he doesn’t really care for addison so maybe they’ll spare him and not put him with her.

I’m confused. People say PD (also called arrogant, but I don’t know why either) can’t stand her, but I’ve seen candids of them at different events (sure not many pics, but there are) and they seemed to like each other. Not BBF, but at least they seemed to joke.

I love Criminal Minds, I liked Addie but in GA, when she left I didn’t stop watching GA, it a great show and I didn’t hung with Private Practice.
Addie is popular but be realist, she wasn’t the most popular, well you’re her fans so I think it’s normal that you’re blind!!

Gawd nooo don’t go back Kate!

Greys sucks ass

Hopefully she will kick McDouchebag’s ass! Im glad she is coming back for a episode.

#64, PD is not really friend with her and I even can say that he can’t stand her, every time he was question about KW and her show, he refuses to answer.
He refused to have photo shoot with her, it’s weird when you know that they played a married couple?

Dempsey’s going to FLIP OUT if hes gotta work with her.

How do you people know PD?

I dont think he mind KW, i think they get on well enough….not Friends friends but okay friends….its just he thought Addison was pointless beyond S2 and was always saying, why the hell was she there as long as she was…he thought she did nothing for the story….so i wonder if they’ll have them do scenes even thought he thinks addison is pointless??

Hopefully we get benefit pictures tonight, cant wait to see EP, SO and JC!!

F…ck I will have to watch GA again with my wife to stare at Kate Walsh she is HOT!

The only reason why Kate is going back is because she is contractually obliged to. She has always said she wouldn’t because she did not think ABC would be so stupid as to bring her back so soon. They can fire her if they want so they are basically making her do this, I think.

The things ABC will do for ratings?

I said it before and I will say it again, this is a BAD IDEA!

PrP was just beginning to make a name for itself, other than the spin off of Grey’s and now ABC go and do this S-H-I-T well they can kiss all the promo work they did goodbye. Idiots.

PD will have to do whatever Shonda says she is his boss. As is ABC.

Well I will have to watch GA again. Damn

kate rocks my world! @ 02/29/2008 at 7:31 pm

Greys sucks without Addison!
That´s why Shonda is desperate to have her back.

But Addie belongs in PrP, although id like to see her on Greys once last time, kicking ass as always!

yay, more addision is ALWAYS a good thing :):)

It’s been crap this season without Addie & Burke.
______________________________________________

I also miss Addie and Burke immensely. The show hasn’t been the same without them. Especially Burke…………..I mean, at least we get to see Addie on PP. They need to get over whatever problem there was and bring him back. :(

Helena, I wouldn’t have confronted you if I didn’t read your posts. Since I don’t go on EVERY thread, maybe I missed the positive ones. Sorry.

this is a GOOD thing! i loveed addison’s character on grey’s…she was different and kind of stole meredith’s spotlight. i missed her so much when she left grey’s…happy about this!

kate rocks my world! @ 02/29/2008 at 10:05 pm

stole meredith’s spotlight.
————————————–
zoe that is so true! Addie is freaking-tastic!! She really kicks @ss!!
I love everything abt her! Addie is what it is cause is played by KATE WALSH who rules and has this sparkling personality!!!
Although everybody could stole Meredith´s spotlight hahahaha!

I so can’t wait to see why Addison comes back to Seattle Grace… When I heard this I screamed… I’m so excited!!!

KW is so desperate

Has made my day! And this will only aid us Addex shippers!

OH MY GOD !!!
I can’t believe this !!!!!
SERIOUSLY ….. BEST NEWS EVER !!!!!!!!!!!
OMG OMG OMG !!!!!!
SATAN’S ***** IS BACK !!!!
I LOVE YOU ADDIE ….

I hope she goes with the cop. :)) I agree with the others, this totally made my day :)

OMG YAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! this is the moment i’ve been waiting for. i feel like a kid in a candy store.

obviously a ratings ploy by shonda.. it would not be the wisest decision, considering we’re still trying to adjust to the fact that addison will be permanently placed on a different show, but kate is classy enough to heed orders and make the most out of the situation.

WELL i can’t deny that i’m excited about this as well; i miss surgeon addie, i miss addison with the sex specs, and i miss her being her confident, sassy self around those mumbling emotionally-stunted doctors on greys!! please please i hope she has great scenes with callie, and of course with her men– mark, derek and alex maybe. i hope she comes back and leaves a mark on their miserable grey lives. it would be cool if she took back at least one of them to LA.. callie would be a top candidate, and Mark (eeep, maddison love!) could use some sunshine seeing as he’s thinking less sanely and hitting on Hahn, which has to be one of the dumbest plots ever concocted by shonda.

paddison is okay, but i think i like seeing addison smile with Hot Cop even more. alright.. i’m all rambly.. i’m just excited to see the old Addison on GA again!! thanks for the update Jared.

Kate walsh is a cow @ 03/01/2008 at 2:46 am

Ugh! WHY!?

I HATE HER!

GA is OVER!

#82 Ummm..NO. Kate has no say in the matter. She does what ABC and Shonda tells her too. Kate has movie projects in the works and starts back on PrP in April for production, although it does not air til Fall. Considering Kate has movie projects in the works and a possible new movie in works, she is in no way desperate.

#88 Since you post in every KW thread on JJ, you must be strangely obsessed with her. You say you “hate her” well you seem to like to look at her pics. Dont live your life in hate. It is sad.

I so wish she would get back together with McSteamy! Best couple EVER! Now they have him crushing on Dr Hahn who is just a second rate ‘feisty’ Addison. I wonder if he will find out that she can’t have children? That would be the cutest scene!
I don’t mind private practice but i have to say that season 3 of grey’s anatomy was amazing, with all the attendings (addison, burke) and private practice just can’t compare to their hilarious interactions and addison had all those great storylines (alex, addison, mark triangle) and then they cut it off really abruptly so she could leave. I would love to see them resolve the left over sexual tension (and pete from prp is jsut not fit and doesn’t compare to the GA guys). I really wish she would return to stay! and btw, DEATH TO MEREDITH, most annoying and whiney female character ever.
