Last year, of course, fans were introduced to Sam's troubled sister.

What does this casting scoop mean for Private Practice Season 6, which kicks off on September 25? It's hard to say, especially considering the mysterious way in which Shonda Rhimes has hyped upcoming episodes.

The uber producer says every one will be special and unique.
