Private Practice is Getting Steamy!

Warning: If you’re a fan of Grey’s Anatomy lovebirds Mark (Eric Dane) and Lexie (Cryler Leigh), stop reading this or if you do grab a defibrillator before reading!

A Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice crossover slated to air in January, will find Mark spending some quality time with his currently single ex, Addison (Kate Walsh). “They’ve both really grown up since they were together, and most of the animosity that they had is gone,” says Shonda Rhimes, executive producer of both shows. “Now they’re friends, but they may end up falling back into their old patterns while they’re together.”

But wait, there’s more (so keep those paddles handy).

The reason Mark summons Addison to Seattle Grace (prompting him to visit her in L.A. In the second hour of the crossover) is that he needs her to perform surgery on a woman from his past! Actually, make that a girl (played by “Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles” alum Leven Rambin, who first appears on November 19.) and a pregnant one at that!

Rhimes declines to reveal the character’s connection to Mark, but one of the rumors currently making the rounds is that the girl is his…daughter! “It’s a new obstacle for (Lexie and Mark),” teases Rhimes of Rambin’s role. “I’m not sure it’s the kind of obstacle people are expecting, but it’s definitely a new one. I’m not sure they’ll stick together through it.”

So there you go, you have been warned. Okay, you can go ahead and use those paddles now!
