It has been nearly a decade since we've spent any time with Kate Walsh as Dr. Addison Montgomery, the incredibly gifted board-certified OB/GYN we first met on Grey's Anatomy. However, it wasn't Grey's where we last saw Kate bringing life into this world. It was on the Grey's spinoff Private Practice. Now, Dr. Addison Montgomery is returning to Grey's as a guest star. So, what happened on Addison's Private Practice journey? And why did she leave the show?
Why did Kate Walsh leave 'Private Practice'?
Kate Walsh announced that Season 6 of Private Practice would be her last while she was a guest on Bethenny Frankel's now-defunct talk show, Bethenny. Even though this was way back in 2012, we can still feel the sting of that day. Kate told Bethenny, “It’s been an incredible journey and an amazing ride … and I feel incredibly grateful to [series creator] Shonda Rhimes and all the fans that have been there from day one ’til now." She didn't specifically say why she decided to leave the show.
