George: So first, there was syph nurse, Olivia, then you who cried... and Izzie... well let's not go there. So, I figure I had one normal ex left in Callie and then I see her KISSING Hahn!
Meredith: You're right Geroge, you DO have worse luck in love than I do.

Kate Walsh has a big job ahead for fall. First and foremost, the actress has to help with the relaunch Private Practice, the much-touted but somewhat disappointing spinoff of Grey's Anatomy about a beach-based group of randy L.A. doctors.

But even though her character, Dr. Addison Montgomery, is starting to settle in at the Oceanside Wellness Center (David Sutcliffe guest stars as her boy toy!) she may take another trip back to Seattle Grace sometime this year.

The creator and executive producer of both shows, Shonda Rhimes, sort of hinted at this in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly.

"I don't know if it's going to work with the story, and we don't want her to come back for a visit if it doesn't feel important, something only Addison can do," says Rhimes, wary of it being seen as a stunt. "But the idea is on the table."

This wouldn't be the first return of Addison; the redhead showed up in a Season Four episode of Grey's Anatomy last spring with Private Practice on hiatus.

If this ABC poster doesn't get you even more excited for the return of Grey's Anatomy (two-hour season premiere, Thursday, September 25), we don't know what will. We will be "living for the moment" right along with Meredith and Derek ...

A terrific promotional poster for Season 5 of Grey's Anatomy.

Below are scans from TV Guide's recent cover story on Grey's Anatomy, which returns for its fifth season on September 25. Has it really been that long?

The magazine featured dual covers of Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey. The article was terrific too. Here are the actual pages scanned, which we have not posted before but were sent to us via email by a fan last night. Enjoy!

As usual, the love story of Meredith and Derek leads the way in the magazine's Grey's Anatomy article. Click to enlarge these additional scans!

This isn't a new interview, it's actually a few weeks old. But it's still neat to see - in video form - what Brooke Smith (Erica Hahn) has to say about Grey's Anatomy and her character, which has one of the most intriguing story lines this year ...

The Grey's Anatomy Insider staff loves to get the opinion of fans on the critical issues surrounding our favorite show. Or just spark some fun debates.

Tell us, via the poll below, who you think is the hottest SGH surgeon. Dr. Shepherd looks like the heavy favorite to start, but Dr. Sloan is no slouch...

We're a little late on this one, but we did find a photo of Grey's Anatomy leading lady Ellen Pompeo in Seattle for the Barack Obama fundraiser she attended for the Gay and Lesbian Council of the Democratic National Committee ...

As usual, Grey's Anatomy's Ellen Pompeo always looks terrific to us.

This photo isn't new, but does that matter? It's Eric Dane! The hunky Grey's Anatomy star - in what appears to be a pair of velvet sweatpants - is seen after leaving the gym in Hollywood. Gotta stay buff for the fifth season!

They don't get hotter than Eric Dane. Well, except maybe Patrick Dempsey.

Reading Michael Ausiello's spoiler column today in Entertainment Weekly, we came across this tidbit pertaining to our beloved Grey's Anatomy.

Specifically, to Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) and the "big love story" that is rumored for her character in the upcoming fifth season.

Attempted humor aside, it looks as though some of your theories of Izzie's adopted daughter making an appearance could be coming to fruition ...

Q: Do you have any word on what the big love story is that Shonda Rhimes has planned for Izzie this season on Grey's Anatomy?

A: I'm inclined to agree with most Ausholes on this one: Bee-yotch wants her baby back, baby back, baby back.

No one said it was a romantic love story, did they?

This is not Grey's Anatomy news, but here's a little info on its spin-off, which you may know is preparing to kick off its second season.

Get ready to see former Seattle Grace surgeon Addison Montgomery’s wilder side when Private Practice returns October 1. So says Kate Walsh.

“There are some good lovers happening,” Kate Walsh told People magazine Saturday in L.A. “There’s a lot of action in L.A. it turns out!”

Walsh, whose character was no stranger to love triangles on Grey’s Anatomy, gets to be the center of attention this time as Dr. Pete Wilder (Tim Daly) and hunky SWAT officer Kevin Nelson (David Sutcliffe) vie for her heart.

It's exciting stuff. But will Kate Walsh let her husband of about a year, Alex Young, watch those steamy scenes? That she's not so sure about.

“I don’t know. He’ll probably watch when I’m not home,” she says. But she promises not all the action will be between the sheets.

“I think you’re going to see some conflict within the practice itself too, and a lot more surgery, so it’s just very exciting,” she says.

“The scripts this season are so good, there’s a lot of action, it’s a lot of drama ...” And yes, of course, “a lot of sex!”

Looks like the planned Seattle Grace love-fest has company!
