Aww, that's bittersweet news. I like her a lot, but they haven't given her terribly great storylines, and she's just sort of been..."there," this season. But she is an amazing talent, and I'm sure she'll be welcomed back to Broadway with open arms!
On another note: speaking of Private Practice and certain people, well, being absent: where the heck has Amy Brenneman been? The last few episodes, they added some dialogue briefly in the beginning of the show to state that the character had some reason to be gone.
But last night...there's Pete, there's Naomi, there's Addison...and no mention of their wife/friend/friend, respectively. And with all the "mom suicide" and "Charlotte-recovering-from-rape" going on last night, it was prime material for which the resident emotional psychiatrist could have intervened. Is the actress on medical leave, or some other extended issue? Haven't read or heard anything of the kind (though I may be late to the party, if something was publicized earlier). Her presence is missed.
"There is no use trying," said Alice; "one can't believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had the practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." --Alice in Wonderland
