More spin-off details are filtering out of Grey's Anatomy headquarters.
Despite producers' efforts to keep a lid on the potential Grey's Anatomy spin-off, tentatively titled Private Practice, some more supposed plot spoilers have been exposed by the Los Angeles Times:
After reaching her personal and professional breaking point, Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) heads down to Santa Monica, Calif.
The plan: to seek advice from two of her old medical school friends, Naomi (Merrin Dungey) and Jackson (Taye Diggs).
This is a couple whom she believes have it all: a beautiful teen daughter, a great marriage and a highly successful health cooperative.
Addison quickly learns, though, that Jackson, also a successful TV health guru, has divorced Naomi. During her visit to California, Addison meets the rest of the gang at the cooperative - a widowed alternative medicine practitioner, a self-doubting therapist, and a male gynecologist who knows little about women - and realizes she's on familiar ground.
Figuring she's due for a change and she'd fid right in with this driven, yet quirky crew, Addison decides to bolt Seattle Grace and join the Oceanside Wellness Group - if ABC picks up the Grey's Anatomy spin-off, of course.

it sounds interesting,however i still think its not a good idea and even too soon for GA to even consider a spin off at this stage, anyway goodluck kate!!!

I completely agree with hafsa. It is just too soon for a sipin off. I don't think Kate Walsh was exactly a household name even two years ago. I think she is fantastic on Grey's put this is still a long shot. I really hope that it works for everyone's sake, but I also hope it doesn't take too much away from GA. There are some good people signed up to star with her. i think it has a better shot if it is an ensemble cast and not all on her shoulders as lovely as they are.

WAY TOO SOON to do a spin off... i mean... grey's is one of the top rated shows on tv but, spin offs RARELY ever do good. No one ever hears or the people again. Personally, i think this will ruin Kates career. I think her fame is at seattle grace and if she leaves, it will ruin her. But, I'm hoping i'm wrong! Maybe she'll make it!

If Addison leaves Seattle Grace things will not be good. Addison is one of the most loved characters on GA! If she left, people would be upset. GA will NOT be the same without Addison. Although, Kate's new show could be interesting because it's about Addison. But most spin-offs don't do too well. GA won't be the same without Addison, but Addison will make the spin-off a good show. We'll have to wait and see where Addison fits in the best.

is it true that if it bombs she can go back to greys? because if thats the case we cant lose, worst case scenario it bombs. greys is back to normal((which is almost what i am hopin for)) best case...two hours of shonda's insane writing in one week. plussss the reruns. which would be 4! wooot woooot. although, i hope that shonda isnt to busy with this and neglects greys or something bc if that is the case i will find her and slap her. hahahahaaa

no. no, no, no, no, no. I love Addison at SG. Not CALIFORNIA! PLUS.. i mean, hello. it's callifornia. That's one thing i like about GA. It's in seattle. It's differant. While California is great and all, i prefer Seattle. PLUS Grey's Anatomy is a MUCH better name than Private Practice.

To me this is all up on the air. If it means another great show then we all win. We didn't want to see Addison with Derek but we still want her around right? I mean this show could do well cause GA does well, but how much of a good thing can really spill over into another show? ABC and the EXEC's do not have much to lose here. Grey's Anatomy will still continue to thrive and maintain their fan base regardless how well this new spin-off does, so we the audience will win there. Even if it doesn't pick up the fan base and it doesn't make it, we all know we will see Addison back in Seattle!! ABC might be on to something if you look at the business aspect of it. IF this new show does work, and new people and the Grey's Anatomers watch then more people might watch Grey's Anatomy. Look how much crap is on TV right now.....the more Shonda Rhimes TV... the better for me!!

I love Kate, I think it may work. Im excited about it. Greys is going alittle downhill the last few episodes. Im not thrilled with the Izzy George thing. GA either needs to "out with some of the old, in with some new" or give this new spin off a chance. I have a feeling some fans may even like it better than GA if the cast is right and the story is good... isnt anyone else getting a little bored with MERDER??
