Since the Grey's Anatomy season 1 finale when Kate Walsh appeared at the hospital asking Meredith whether she was sleeping with her husband, her Addison Montgomery has been a scene-stealer. The popularity of the character helped Walsh to headline Private Practice for six seasons, surpassing the original show occasionally. Given what Grey's Anatomy season 20 set up, Addison would make logical sense returning to the main series.
Kate Walsh would be the ideal alternative for Ellen Pompeo's Meredith given her ties to the beginnings of Grey's Anatomy. Walsh's tenure with the show seemed to be over when the series concluded in 2013, but she Returned as a regular in Grey's Anatomy seasons 18 and 19. Her comeback was lovely since it demonstrated her connection with Meredith in a fantastic light, despite the two first began as love rivals. The nicest thing about Addison's comeback was that she hinted at plenty of storyline potential should she return to the program full-time, suggesting that her life had changed drastically since the spinoff ended.
Grey's Anatomy's recent frenzy of on-screen firings has left the hospital desperately short of fresh personnel, hence the return of a previous star is most likely. At the end of Grey's Anatomy Season 20, Catherine Fox accomplished the unimaginable by firing numerous Grey Sloan Memorial clinicians, including Teddy and Owen Hunt. Given the rich tapestry of prior characters on the program, one person should come back to usher in Grey's Anatomy Season 21 and beyond. Though many cast members have participated in the long-running drama throughout the years, few have had as much influence on the program as the one who should be in line for a permanent return. The actor in issue has already starred a spinoff and returned for one of the most significant arcs of the show in recent years. It is therefore difficult to picture the figure not ranking highly on the wishlist of the creatives.
Grey's Anatomy has 20 seasons, but viewers might be yearning more of the classic medical drama. can this be the case, readers can think about grabbing these books.
Grey's Anatomy has struggled creatively to transcend Meredith Grey from Ellen Pompeo. Pompeo left Grey's Anatomy season 19 as a series regular but has Returned many times since. Sadly, the performance has made much too much reliance on these erratic encores. Walsh's popularity and past with the program and its spinoff should be sufficient to have the show give her thought as the new lead.
Addison is a great, layered character with plenty to offer. Many plotline are drying out since some characters have been kept on the show too long, hence it would be the ideal moment to refocus Grey's Anatomy around Addison. It would imply allowing additional character returns down the road—including those from Private Practice—along with others.
Addison is well-known for her cosmic wit, so it would be interesting to see her battle toe-to--toe with Catherine should their disagreements center on hospital policies. Given her ties to the roots of Grey's Anatomy, Kate Walsh might possibly be the ideal successor for Meredith from Ellen Pompeo.
Grey's Anatomy is entering Season 21, hence the creatives have to take into account the finest choices to maintain the show interesting and fresh as Meredith's departure marks ongoing challenges. Addison front and center would also make Meredith's rare visits more valuable given they have developed a tight relationship since Derek's death. It would be the ideal approach to revitalize Grey's Anatomy and a stroke of casting genius.
