Addison Montgomery Returns to 'Grey's' — Why She Left 'Private Practice'

An insightful review of Addison Montgomery Returns to 'Grey's' — Why She Left 'Private Practice'—check out the essential highlights.

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.

In a 2012 interview with EW, when asked if she was nervous about not playing Addison every day, Kate said, "Yeah, totally, are you kidding? I would be a robot if I didn’t feel total trepidation and fear and anxiety, and also, it’s been a great run." While trying to focus on the end of her journey with Addison, Kate said she felt she was right where she was supposed to be.
