Why did the red head from Grey's anatomy get her own spin off show?

Question

why did Addison get her own spin off show...I really didn't think she was that much of an interesting character (don't get me wrong i like her and all) to land her own spin off?

Answer 1

Shonda Rhimes (the creator of Grey's Anatomy) said there was only so much she could do with her character on Grey's. Also, Kate Walsh took Addison from being the most hated character on the show to one of the most loved. So Shonda knew that fans would follow her to the new show and a new audience would also tune in. Kate is a fabulous actress and it is great that she gets to showcase her talents as a lead character.

Answer 2

I dont know Shonda Rhimes wanted to try something different and thought it would be good with Kate Walsh a.k.a the red head!

I liked Addison (Kate Walsh) in Greys anatomy i wish they kept her on because private practice isnt as good.

Answer 3

this might because i love private practice but i love adison...but on the show she has more layers not having to share face time with so many other characters... Plus they got taye diggs and the actress from judging amy had something to do with the green light of the spin off
