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!
