McSteamy is staying put.
Eric Dane, who made his return to Grey's Anatomy in the waning moments of last Thursday's episode, has joined the cast of the hit medical drama as a regular, MSNBC confirms.
Dane plays plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Sloan, a.k.a. "McSteamy," a role he originated in a guest appearance last season, stole the show last week, and is already a fan favorite in spite of his limited exposure.
Grey's Anatomy marks Dane's second co-starring stint as a hot young doctor on an ABC medical drama. Several years ago, he played Dr. Wyatt Cooper on the network's Gideon's Crossing.
Suffice it to say, we're glad he's sticking around Seattle and are eager to find out what happens between Mark and Addison Shepherd (above).

What an awesome addition to the cast. I love his voice and the twinkle in his eye. He plays a great McSteamy and can only add a bit more competition to the list of already hot and handsome men of Seattle Grace. I am looking forward to the fire works between Mark and Addison. He is obviously in love with her, came all the way across country to convince her to come home, but was she just using him to get Derek's attention? It remains to be seen. He sure had our attention in that towel!

Totally arrogant brain surgeon dumps absolutely gorgeous and arrogant obstetric specialist, with whom he shares a totally great dialogue. In comes a totallly arrogant cosmetic surgeon whose weakness is the totally beautiful obstetric specialist, who makes him go weak in the knees, but with whom, happily, he shares a fabulous dialogue.
Meredith and Derek's byplay used to be so much fun for me to watch until I got a load of Derek and Addison, who had that blend of vulnerable and witchy downpat. Now comes McSteamy, a man who has all the twinkle of McDreamy, and then some AND has the good sense to want a woman and not an adolescent.
I'm gonna absolutely love this season. Wish more shows were able to take note of hte audience's reaction to a cameo character and bring them on for a longer stint.

I am so glad they made Eric Dane a regular cast member. He brings so much to the show. I want to see if Derek and him mend their broken friendship.

I am glad he's here to stay. He really cares for addison and I am wondering if him being at Seattle Grace will get under Derek's skin.(I think Derek still cares for Addison and is going to be ticked once there relationship takes off/if it takes off).
But I was wondering, did he fly all the way from New York to be by Addison' side or was he already there in Seattle because Richard had called him and ofter him a job?
