Woosh!
That’s the sound of Private Practice’s second season rushing by. After tonight’s brand-new episode “What You Do For Love,” the first fresh hour since March 26, there will be just one installment left — next Thursday’s season finale “Yours, Mine & Ours.”
Coming up at 10:01pm-ish ET today, Addison runs into Noah when she takes an endangered pregnant patient with heart problems to St. Ambrose, Sam begins having second thoughts about his friendship with Naomi when he notices she often disappears from work without explanation, and Violet’s visibly pregnant state makes Pete and Lisa’s relationship more difficult.

There are no major new guest stars on this week’s fresh episode of Private Practice, March 26th’s “Do the Right Thing,” but Swingtown alum Josh Hopkins does reprise his role as Dr. Noah Barnes, the latest pursuer of Addison.
It seems like this installment is all about getting it on with patients’ mothers or mothers who let patients get it on. : ) While Cooper takes on the (criminally stupid and possibly insane) mother of a 12-year-old female patient who is okey dokey with her daughter having sex at that way too young age, Pete arouses (no pun intended) Violet’s …read more

Swingtown’s Josh Hopkins reprises his role as Addison’s colleague Dr. Noah Barnes on the “What Women Want” episode of Private Practice. Didn’t Mel Gibson star as a male chauvinist in a big-screen movie with the same name? Yes, he did, alongside Mad About You’s Helen Hunt.
During the March 19 episode, Addison and Violet deal with a mentally unbalanced patient whose baby has died; Cooper treats a patient requiring partial removal of his jaw due to cancer; Dell copes with the absence of his daughter after his ex moves to pursue a new job; and Sam and Addison realize …read more

Tonight is a big night for Swingtown cast members. Not only is Michael Rady appearing on the new episode of Grey’s Anatomy called “I Will Follow You into the Dark,” but his former costar Josh Hopkins is guest starring on the following fresh episode of Private Practice called “Finishing.”
I’m also psyched to see Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Amber Benson on the guest list since her Buffyverse character Tara Maclay has always been a favorite of mine. Sharon Leal (Boston Public) returns as Sonya, too, and another notable visitor is What About Brian’s Amanda Detmer as Morgan Gellman.
During the …read more

Tonight is the night Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice fans have been waiting for: the first ever back-to-back, two-episode, two-hour crossover event, during which major characters from each show will appear on the other.
ABC is billing the extravaganza as “The first time the doctors of Seattle Grace and Oceanside Wellness will team up — to save the life of one of their own.” The “one of their own” is Addison’s brother Archer (Grant Show of Swingtown and Melrose Place), of course.
First up at 9pm EST is Grey’s Anatomy with “Before and After,” featuring Private Practice players Addison Montgomery (Kate …read more

Former Melrose Place and Swingtown star Grant Show returns as Addison’s brother Archer on tonight’s new episode of Private Practice called “Acceptance,” and he’s not going to have an easy time of it.
When Archer suffers a severe seizure, Addison and his girlfriend Naomi aggressively search for the cause and cure, even calling Addison’s ex-husband Derek for counsel. Meanwhile, Violet tells Sheldon and Pete that she is pregnant, and a seven year-old patient is abandoned, left for Cooper to care for.

There’s no new Ugly Betty or Grey’s Anatomy tonight (the repeats “Betty Suarez Land” and “Rise Up,” respectively, are scheduled instead), but fans will get a fresh episode of Private Practice at 10:01pm EST called “Second Chances.”
It’s all about sibling rivalry, literally, during this installment when Addison’s brother Archer arrives in Los Angeles to start working at Oceanside Wellness’ rival clinic Pacific Wellcare. This creates a whole bunch of problems, of course, while pregnant Violet deals with the discovery that neither Pete nor Sheldon wants kids.
Follow the jump for a “Second Chances” promo and sneak peek, the last featuring …read more
