News (Page 21)

For Addison Forbes Montgomery, Season Two of Private Practice has meant a triumphant return to the Addison of old - the aggressive, passionate, take-no-prisoners surgeon we fell in love with years ago on Grey's Anatomy.

Last night's episode not only showcased some fireworks between Addy and Officer Kevin, but showed our girl back in her old, butt-kickin' surgical element. But would she stay in that element? And what else went down at Oceanside?

ABC has picked up Private Practice for a full season.

The network has given a back-nine order to the sophomore drama from ABC Studios. Private Practice is ABC's tentpole show on Wednesday nights.

Private Practice is the latest network series to get a full-season pickup, following NBC's Knight Rider and Chuck, CBS' The Mentalist, Fox's Fringe and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and CW's 90210. Way to go, Kate Walsh & Co.!

The Addison-Pete love triangle just became a bona fide square on Private Practice. E! Online sat down with Kate Walsh recently to talk about some of the new developments on the hit show, which is picking up steam in Season 2 ...

Love Ain't Easy: According to Kate Walsh, despite Addison's continued professional success, her love life remains complicated:

"I think there's this continuing dichotomy between Addison's personal and professional self. She's taking on more of an alpha position at the practice, and in these next several episodes you really see her taking her place and causing lots of conflict that way. And then there's this dichotomy with her personal life and what unfolds with dating, all of these other sides of her that are revealed."

As for a romance with Kevin "SWAT Guy" Nelson (David Sutcliffe), Kate said: "It's very interesting to see how it plays out. When you see her trying to relate to this SWAT guy, you see a totally different side of Addison."

How does once-upon-a-time love interest Pete (Tim Daly) feel about this turn of events? "I don't know! You'll have to ask Pete!"

Actually a little birdie (not named Pete, Tim, Kate or Addy) tells me that beginning next week, Pete has a dalliance of his own.

Yep, he'll be hooking up with a pretty physician named Meg, played by Jayne Brook, who works with Doctors Without Borders.

Meanwhile, things don't look good for the future Naomi (Audra McDonald) and Addison.

Kate Walsh is gorgeous. That will never change.

Q: Loving Private Practice this year. Got any scoop?

A: I just talked to the awesome Kate Walsh, so check back Wednesday for lots from her on Private Practice. Among other things, she told me that Grant Show's appearance as her brother brings out a bit of the "les enfants terribles" in them both, which I take to mean they fight like... brother and sister? (The Walkers would be proud).

Private Practice leading lady Kate Walsh turns 41 today.

A very happy birthday from all of us at the Insider, Kate!

On Private Practice, Sam (Taye Diggs, pictured) is now charge of Oceanside.

With him running the show, you can forget about the touchy-feely crap at the wellness center. It's all about the bottom line. Well, not entirely. But his drive to improve the practice's finances led him into a major ethical quandary last night.

Meanwhile, Addison and Naomi treat young lovers who want a baby even though they are siblings. Don't ask. Just get the rundown in this recap of "Equal and Opposite."
