Kate Walsh sports a cute summery outfit as she enjoys her last free weekend on Saturday (July 18) in Los Angeles.
The 41-year-old actress returned back to the set of Private Practice today (July 20). The show’s creator Shonda Rimes tweeted, “First day shooting at PP!!! Here’s [how] I know season’s really begun: I’ll spend my days running back and forth between the two shows/studios.” (Shonda created Grey’s Anatomy, which spun off PP.)
Below is a pic of PP star Taye Diggs back on the set!
On Friday night, the casts of Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice joined together for a musical benefit at UCLA’s Royce Hall to benefit crew members who were affected by the writer’s strike. Here’s a brief rundown of the charity event dubbed “Good Medicine”:
– A taped message of McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) kicked off the show. He said he was in Japan promoting his Disney film Enchanted.
– Sara Ramirez’s booming voice brought the house to its feet with a performance of the song “Meadowlark.”
–TR Knight tackled the song “Losing My Mind/You Could Drive A Person Crazy” from Sondheim’s “Follies.” But he first begged for a little understanding,”It’s been 13 years since I’ve done something like this and I’m following Sara Ramirez.”
– Kate Walsh kicked off the second half of the show with a taped message. She said she was down in Australia promoting Private Practice. While getting a massage on her hotel balcony Kate joked, “We have all felt the affect of the strike especially in my neck and shoulders.”

“As [creator Shonda Rhimes] has said, Grey’s was like high school,” Kate Walsh recently told TV Guide. “But the group at the Oceanside Wellness Center are like a big, grown-up family. They’ve already been through the wringer together. Well, me, of course. I’m the newbie again, a fish out of water, just like at Seattle Grace.”
