More than a decade after leaving, Dr. Addison Montgomery is returning to Seattle’s Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
Actress Kate Walsh confirmed the news in an interview with Fox 5 New York’s Rosanna Scotto.
“It was something we had been working on for a while and dates finally meshed,” revealed the star.
On whether she’d be returning full-time, Walsh said, “I don’t know. It would be difficult coming back with other stuff I have going on. I really love coming back for visits. It’s been a real pleasure for me and also the warm reception by the fans… It’s been awesome. It’s been great to be back!”
On Wednesday, April 6, Walsh took to Instagram to share the news with fans.
