The network is producing a two-hour special focusing on the former Mrs. McDreamy, neonatal surgeon Addison Montgomery, which, depending on viewer response, will serve as a back-door pilot for a new series featuring actress Kate Walsh.
Taye Diggs has also signed on for the pilot, and the show’s writers are now eagerly accepting nominations for the handsome former “Daybreak” and “Rent” star’s nickname. Since “McDreamy” and “McSteamy” have already been spoken for by members of the “Grey’s” cast, current frontrunners include “McSmoothie” and “That Guy Who Gave Stella Her Groove Back.” We’re hoping they come up with something a little juicier.
