The redhead is back! ABC has confirmed that Kate Walsh, whose spin-off Private Practice is on hiatus until fall, will return to Grey's Anatomy as Dr. Addison Montgomery for one episode this spring, Entertainment Weekly reports.
Executive Producer Shonda Rhimes is still fleshing out the script, so no word yet on when Kate Walsh's episode will air or what the premise will be.
ABC will air five original episodes of Grey's Anatomy beginning April 24.
The last time Kate Walsh (as Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd) was seen walking the hallways of Seattle Grace was in the series premiere of Private Practice, which is the 2007-08 season's second most-watched new drama.
In the Private Practice pilot, Addison said a tearful goodbye to Seattle Grace to start a new life at Oceanside Wellness Center in Southern California.
What do you think about Addison's return? We'd love to hear your thoughts - as well as your best guesses for what the plot line will entail ...

This is great news !
I kinda miss Addison, she was pretty amazing !
And I watch Private Practce too, but I can't say I love the show, I even think it's a little boring, I only watch it because of her. And it's nothing compared to Grey's !!!
I'm so looking forward to having Addie back for 1 episode !

It will be interesting to see how Shonda uses Addison in the upcoming episode. She could be coming back for a genreal visit and is very surprised to find out that Derek has broken up with Meredith! She could tell him that he should not have done that because everybody knows that Derek loves Meredith! Remember she told Derek back in season 3 not to ever hurt Meredith again. Maybe she will help Mer/Der start working their way back to a reconciliation. No one knows these to any better than Addie. Right?

YES!!!!! I miss Addison so much! I never really got into Private Practice, partially because of the strike. I think that she should come back to Grey's full time.
Why don't we get some more Burke with our Addison?
