"Grey's Anatomy" Spoilers: "Private Practice" Uncovered

APRIL 16, 2007: ABC released over 40 promotional stills from the most talked about episode of "Grey's Anatomy" over the weekend uncovering what the new spin-off series "Private Practice" might look like come fall.

"Grey's Anatomy" executive producer Shonda Rhimes combines the heart and soul of television's top-rated drama with exciting new faces in a sun-drenched new location to create a drama with a very different vibe.



It's an intimate portrait of the choices and changes we make in our search for happy lives.

Following a failed attempt at reconciliation and two disastrous affairs, neonatal surgeon Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery craves a new relationship and journeys to Santa Monica to seek advice from her med school friends, Naomi and Jackson.


But she finds her idealized view of their achievements successful marriage, 14-year-old daughter and a highly successful health cooperative doesn't match reality.



Jackson's success as a TV health guru pushed him to divorce Naomi and now he's lonely.

Fertility specialist Naomi wants love, but she doubts their boyish surfer/receptionist is the answer.


The rest of the Oceanside Wellness Group staff has their own life issues. The sexy alternative medicine doc is a widower masking his grief with one-night stands.



The gynecologist who doesn't know a thing about women had his car stolen by this week's Internet hookup.



And the therapist doubts she's doing any good at all.



Fortunately, together they're a formidable medical team doing cutting-edge work. Working with them, Addison realizes that moving to Southern California and joining her friends could be the right prescription for her own life.
