Paging Dr. Addison Montgomery! Kate Walsh is set to guest-star in an upcoming Season 22 episode of “Grey’s Anatomy,” marking her first appearance on the medical drama in more than two years.
Though the reason for Addison’s return is currently a mystery, Variety reports that Walsh will show up in the Jan. 29 episode (ABC, 10/9c), titled “Strip That Down.”
Walsh entered the “Grey’s Anatomy” universe back in the Season 1 finale (2005), at which point Meredith discovered that her precious McDreamy was already McMarried to Addison. Walsh stuck around as a series regular for two seasons before leaving to star in “Private Practice,” ABC’s first “Grey’s” spinoff. Though “Private Practice” ran for six seasons (2007–2013), Walsh continued to visit “Grey’s” as a special guest star, making one last appearance in the Season 8 fever-dream episode “If/Then” (2012). Much to fans’ delight, Addison later recurred in Seasons 18 and 19 (2021–2023), appearing in eight episodes overall.
