A little Private Practice spoiler / news item from E! Online's Q&A today ...

Q: Can you share any info on Private Practice? It's gotten superaddictive!

A: Grant Show begins his six-episode guest arc this Wednesday, and I just chatted him up, so check back that morning for exclusive scoop from Mr. Archer Montgomery Forbes himself. (Informed speculation: I think Grant Show's character, Archer, is part of the big spring crossover between Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice, and more significantly, I think he may be the reason for the series' big spring crossover... We'll see!) In other news, that bee-yotch Charlotte King starts a competing practice in the upstairs space and starts stealing patients from Oceanside - I was just starting to like her, but I'm totally taking that back now.
