Private Practice News (Page 2)

Last night, Miranda Bailey crossed over from Grey's Anatomy and pulled double duty by stealing the show on Private Practice immediately after, continuing her same story line.

The final hope for the kidney transplant patient whose treatment Izzie botched was in L.A., and it was quite controversial - her HIV-infected sister was the last possible donor.

Bailey butted heads - and showed some palpable chemistry - with Taye Diggs' Dr. Sam Bennett, while Addison's emotional affair with Noah last season came back to bite her.

Oh, and Pete and Sheldon finally know, thanks to a paternity test the latter insisted on given the strange parenting arrangement for Lucas, who the father of Violet's baby is.

Our sister site, TV Fanatic, has you covered with a full recap of "Right Here, Right Now," as well as quotes, spoilers, casting news and more from the world of Private Practice.

Here's a little excerpt from E!'s spoiler Q&A today regarding Chandra Wilson. It's nothing we don't already know after her interview yesterday, but here goes anyway:

Q: So excited to see Bailey on Private Practice this week, but does she cross over from Grey's Anatomy for personal or professional reasons?

A: According to Grey's Anatomy star Chandra Wilson herself, "[Bailey]'s being overprotective of a patient, so it starts on Grey's Anatomy, and of course, the surgery can only be done in L.A. at St. Ambrose, so she ends up there with a patient."

Paul Adelstein (Cooper on Private Practice) adds, "[Bailey] takes us to task. She's a truth teller, and her writing is truth telling, so she comes in and busts us all down to size pretty good."

Chandra Wilson (Miranda Bailey) visits Private Practice this week. We're psyched!

While the Seattle Grace regulars battle an "Invasion" of newcomers, one Grey's Anatomy mainstay, Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), will be crossing to Private Practice!

Bailey brings a kidney transplant patient to L.A., and Addison, her former Seattle colleague, isn't the only Oceanside doc pleased to see her, according to the press release.

We don't know entirely what that cryptic description implies, but from the photo gallery we've seen, it looks like Bailey works closely with Sam (Taye Diggs) on the case.

Meanwhile, Addison's emotional affair with Noah comes back to bite her, while Sheldon and Pete finally - yes, really, finally! - discover who the father of Violet's baby is.

We've posted one image from the exciting episode below. Chanda is so awesome (and not very tall). Follow the link for lots more photos of Bailey on Private Practice ...

It may be a month after the events of the season premiere fell into place and everybody came out of that situation okay, but the doctors of ABC's Private Practice are still a mess.

Addison is upset at losing Noah, even if her affair with him was only emotional. She's also sad about losing Nae as a friend, as Sam laments losing her in a totally different way.

Cooper can't get over the fact that he let that happen to Violet, even if she says it isn't his fault. Pete and Sheldon still don't know how to feel about Violet and her new baby.

Worst of all, neither does Violet herself. She's still so traumatized and lost after what she went through. She says she doesn't even feel anything toward her own little boy.

Last season, Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy viewers got to know more about Addison's past as her brother Archer battled through a life-threatening disease.

From her tenure on Grey's Anatomy to her role as the leading lady of Private Practice, her history has been hinted at more than it has been explored. Until recently.

Fans will soon learn a lot more about her privileged background in this third season, according to reports, in a November episode aptly titled "Sins of the Father."

That's when Addison's dad drops in to Oceanside Wellness Center. Barry Bostwick will guest star as the man known as The Captain, so you know he's important!

To the surprise of no one, the redheaded daughter and her father “have bad blood between them,” the show insider revealed. “It’s a very tense relationship.”

Bostwick is best known for his former role as the Mayor on Spin City. But in 2009 alone, he has appeared on Nip/Tuck, Ghost Whisperer and Supernatural.

Private Practice is all-new tonight after Grey's Anatomy.

Now that Violet and her baby are safe, everything is back to normal Private Practice, right? Not in your life. Cooper, Pete and especially Violet herself are having a tough go of it.

Everyone's a bit shaken up by that and more, it turns out.

In the sneak preview below, Addison and Sam agree to ... be in denial about their respective problems. Strong, but in denial. Check out the funny clip from "The Way We Were" ...

By popular demand, since there are a ton of Private Practice fans out there, here's a little post for you to discuss last night's episode, with a link to a full recap as well!

Private Practice picked up where we left off last season, with Violet's baby having been stolen by a mentally ill patient who left her drugged and bleeding on the floor.

As flashbacks told us the story of how Pete came to the practice and forged his relationship with Violet, the Oceanside docs frantically did all they could to save her life.

Did she live? Yes. We knew she would. But did the baby? Was the baby even found? And what did this episode tell us about Pete and Violet and their past - and future?

Grey's Anatomy is all-new this evening, as the much-hyped merger of Seattle Grace and Mercy West begins to take shape in "I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watchin' Me."

Following last week's emotional two-hour season premiere (click for guides to Parts I and II) tonight's episode is the centerpiece of ABC's revamped Thursday night lineup.

Tonight after Grey's Anatomy, the third season of Private Practice commences, picking up where the last season dramatically left off. Fans of Shonda Rhimes' much-improved Grey's Anatomy spinoff can expect Violet to survive - but the details remain shrouded in mystery.

Our sister site, TV Fanatic, has all the latest on Private Practice.

Prior to Grey's Anatomy at 8 p.m. EST is ABC's hottest new series, FlashForward. If you saw the premiere and are already hooked, check out these FlashForward spoilers for the newest clues. If you haven't seen it, it's definitely worth giving a shot this evening.

For three full hours, ABC's Thursday lineup is not to be missed!

Actress Alexie Gilmore is busy shooting an episode of Private Practice this week.

After that, her character will "cross over" to Grey's Anatomy in the ABC drama's latest joint venture with its successful spinoff. As we know, the hospitals in Seattle and Los Angeles have shared patients and doctors with one another in seasons' past.

On Private Practice, Gilmore plays a dying woman who needs a kidney transplant, and her sister is the only person who can give it to her. According to the L.A. Times, she's already had to undergo the torso mold to prepare for her surgery scene.

No word yet on what will happen to her character on Grey's Anatomy.

The crossover concept is part of the network's multiple-character sweeps plan to boost viewership for both. Judging by last season's, it should be a success. Chandra Wilson's character, Dr. Miranda Bailey, is believed to be crossing over to Private Practice this year.

Shonda Rhimes is anti-Grey's Anatomy spoilers, but with a bus full of reporters visiting the set Tuesday, she revealed a little scoop on the upcoming season.

Specifically, Grey's Anatomy star Chandra Wilson will cross over to the world of Private Practice in the season's third episode this fall, Rhimes said during the visit.

Miranda Bailey will travel to L.A. to visit her former colleague Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) and perform a "very interesting" medical procedure, Rhimes says.

Bailey being Bailey, she'll also not be shy about sharing her opinions about the goings-on at Oceanside Wellness, the creator and producer of both shows adds.

ABC also confirms that Party Down star Ken Marino (who was on set Tuesday) and former ER actress Kellie Martin will also guest in the first batch of episodes.

The crossover of Chandra Wilson's character to Private Practice will continue the relatively free movement of characters between Grey's Anatomy and its spinoff, which debuted in 2007.

Walsh has appeared on several episodes of Grey's Anatomy the past couple of seasons, and this past spring Patrick Dempsey's Derek Shepherd guested on Private Practice, while Taye Diggs and Audra McDonald also revealed their ties to Derek's past.

The new season of Private Practice will pick up only a few minutes after last season's finale, which ended with off-her-meds patient Katie (Amanda Foreman) injecting Violet (Amy Brenneman) with some paralyzing drugs and about to steal her baby.

The season premiere will deal with the immediate aftermath, while episode two will jump ahead a few weeks, Amy Brenneman says. We can't wait to see what transpires ...
