Walt Disney Co.'s television network ABC has decided to pursue a spinoff of its popular medical drama "Grey's Anatomy," the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

It will star Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd, the sexy neonatal surgeon played by Kate Walsh, the paper said.

A two-hour pilot of the show, which could add millions in additional advertising revenue, is likely to air in May, the paper said.

An ABC spokeswoman could not immediately be reached for comment.

Raph's Girl note: Of all the people to get a spin-off... why Addison???

Why are they spinning off a show doing so good? Makes little sense. Sounds like oversaturation to me. I mean, I'm a fan, but com'on.

Addison is a weak character. Why she's getting her own show, I just don't know.

Blast.... Oh well, I bet she'll do good in time with that show... but why now? Don't they usually make spin-off's when the main show is over?

*can't wait for tomorrow night*

uh... CSI or Law and Order anyone? :P

Taye Diggs will star opposite Kate Walsh in ABC's potential spinoff from hit medical drama "Grey's Anatomy."

The show will test the waters as a back-door pilot, an expanded two-hour episode of "Grey's" slated to air in May. It will center on neonatal surgeon Addison Shepherd (Walsh), a character who has enjoyed a strong following from fans since she was introduced at the end of the hot surgical drama's first season.

It is understood that the back-door pilot episode will feature Shepherd on the verge of leaving Seattle Grace, a scenario that will be triggered if ABC goes with the spinoff for next season. There were no details on the character Diggs will play.

"Grey's" creator/executive producer Shonda Rhimes is writing the episode and is expected to shepherd the potential series. Meanwhile, Rhimes' other ABC pilot, about female journalists, has been pushed to a summer production start.

Diggs' casting in the "Gray" spinoff stems from a new talent holding deal he recently signed with ABC TV Studio, where "Grey's Anatomy" is based. He starred in two drama series for the studio, "Kevin Hill" for UPN and "Day Break" for ABC.

I love Denny. He needs to be back on there somehow.

He is back... as a ghost....

Well, of course, I know that. I mean... permanently. They need to give him a recurring role, even as a ghost.

'McDreamy' my butt. That guy's not even good looking. Denny's where it's at, my friends. (And that's no sarcasm.)

As for this week's ep...



Anyhow, yes... Denny.
