Kate Walsh is a fabulous actress was a serious insurance to Grey's second season. Let us recall the season one finale, a traffic stopping red head shows up at Seattle Grace and says to Meredith, "I'm Derek's wife. And you must be the woman who's been screwing my husband." Not to say that she was the show's lifeline. It was good on its own, very good. Kate was like the gourmet whipping cream on an awesomely decadent chocolate cake. However, consider Private Practice, Walsh's Grey's spin-off, where Addison leaves SGH to pursue other avenues (think Melrose Avenue), and drama/hilarity ensue. Addie's new practice is not a high drama ER; it's a wellness co-operative, where doctors make medicine work by working together. Possible pluses and minuses about the show include, but are not limited to:
Plus side, Kate Walsh- great actress, great on Grey's. However Addison on Grey's and Addison on Private Practice seem to be two different gals, which is a minus. Grey's Addison is the brilliant Neonatal surgeon who can't sort her personal life out because of a series of failed attempts at love and marriage, thus becoming closed off, isolated and generally bad ass. Another positive about the Grey's Addie is that she was an attending surgeon. Watching her torture Karev and Meredith added a lot of cred to the character. The Private Practice Addie is an OBGYN among doctors, no one's boss and seemingly more self absorbed than Addie on Grey's. Shaping up to be a little boring for the brand of Grey's viewers who would rather watch Addison save quintuplets and sleep with a surgical tech in Trauma 2.
