Kate Walsh is returning to Grey's Anatomy as Addison after nine years
The Umbrella Academy and 13 Reasons Why actress will reprise her role as Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery.
Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery will return to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, after actress Kate Walsh announced that she'd reprise the Grey's Anatomy character in the upcoming season 18.
Walsh, who last appeared on the show nine years ago, made the announcement on her personal Twitter account, donning a white lab coat in the short video.
"It’s really happening. Dr. Addison Montgomery will see you shortly #GreysAnatomy," she wrote, tagging both her former co-star Ellen Pompeo (two plays Meredith Grey) and Shondaland (the production company founded by screenwriter Shonda Rhimes).
Walsh previously reprised the role of Addison in Grey's Anatomy spin-off Private Practice, which ran for six seasons.
On the same day, Shondaland tweeted another short video of Walsh to mark the announcement: "Guess who's back!," Walsh said, before teasing that Addison will return for season 18.
