A dishy Los Angeles Times story that reeled me in with the enticing opening line "Wanna hear a secret?" (Okay!) reports that, in Kate Walsh’s Grey’s Anatomy spin-off, Addison (pictured) will join a Santa Monica health cooperative that includes such colorful characters as a successful TV health guru (Taye Diggs), "a widowed alternative medicine doctor, a self-doubting therapist, and a male gynecologist who knows little about women." Ooh! Will there be a kooky neighbor named Sunflower? A retired jeweler who weaves hemp "healing necklaces" laced with magical Topanga Canyon dust? And who will play their cult leader? Speculate away…
Plus, this bit of goss suggests the new show’s title may be Private Practice. Ewww, privates. But that’s pretty cute. If they decide against that moniker, David E. Kelley can use always jump on it for one of his sexy law shows.

this spin off sounds stupid!
What is she thinking, better yet what is Shonda thinking?!
In an era when finding & nurturing hit series has become few & far between, I would hope that many of you that wanna criticize a show being spun off from one of today’s biggest hits, actually WAITS til the show debuts, and then makes a judgement call. SHEESH! I mean, just participtaing in this blog, is a part of the HYPE MACHINE, but don’t you people realize that for every nasty critique or comment about a show not even on the REAL Fall schedule, you are puting one nail in a coffin that hasn’t ‘theoretically’ even been sized yet!? Shame on you. For every BAD reality TV show that gets green lit, then fades to black weeks after its initial debut, you’d think more people would be willing to give scripted series (a TRUE dying breed, but not nearly as extinct as the sit-com), an actual chance, even if the character is spun off from a hit television show. AT LEAST reserve judgement til next month, when Taye Diggs’ character debuts on GREY’s during sweeps month. SHEESH!
Grey’s Anatomy has far too many characters, so this is a good move for the show’s creator as well as Kate Walsh, in my opinion. She has a number of fans, this could possibly work. I hope, though, the show would be a little bit different..if it’s just another version of Grey’s I wouldn’t watch it.
Sounds interesting enough to still keep my attention. And hello Taye Diggs!
But really – how has no one mentioned Kate Walsh on the cover of O At Home magazine. Dear god they airbrushed the life out of her! C’mon Oprah, you can do much better than that!
SWEEEET….Merrin Dungey
It sounds great! I can’t wait to watch it. I really like Addy. I hope that after Callie dumps George she goes and joins her. I really like their dynamic!
Sounds better than “Grey’s Anatomy”
The only problem I have with the spin-off is that I will miss the Derek/Addy/Meredith awkwardness and that whole plot line. What is going to happen with McSteamy? Ahh–so many unanswered questions…I can’t wait!
This show sounds terrific to me — maybe better than Gray’s. I love Taye Diggs and Merrin Dungey, and Kate Walsh is a favorite, so I’ll definitely be tuning in.
love addison/kate walsh and greys being a such a hit i think that this spinoff will be even better….can’t wait!!!
Any truth to the rumor that Lisa Kudrow is gonna join the cast?
Calling all Greys ADDICTS
