Top 10 Reasons Why Dr. Addison Montgomery Needs to Get her L.A.-ified Ass Back To Seattle Grace...Yesterday
Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery is back!
The world-renowned neonatal surgeon? She’s back! Derek Christopher Shepherd’s ex-wife? Back! The doctor who delivered my babies? She’s baaaa-aaaaack. The woman who showed up, unannounced – wearing the sickest pair of Manolos you’ve ever seen – and proceeded to try to win back the man she cheated on?? She’s sooooooo back!!!!
But, only for a night.
Sadly, it’s true. Addie came back to SGH for a medical case. Not for Derek. Not for Mark. Not for me, but for a freakin’ surgery. And, now that the surgery is over, Addison is headed back down to L.A. in the morning. Bummer.
Well, a bartender can dream, can’t he? He can envision Dr. Montgomery poking and prodding Meredith to fight for McDreamy. He can wish Dr. Montgomery was here to continue inspiring Izzie when she’s feeling down and out after not being invited to George’s parties. Gosh darn it, a bartender can hope that Alex is able to see right through his scary Fatal Attraction Jane Doe/Rebecca/Ava and come out okay in the end because ADDISON will be right there by his side…
I sure was doing a lot of dreaming, wishing and hoping tonight. And, ya know what? It all got me thinking. Yes, from time to time, I do think, you know. Seriously – Working behind the bar, mixing drinks, watching Callie bolt out with Mark with nothin’ but sheer gay panic written across her face, witnessing Cristina get her ass handed to her by none other than Erica Hahn, overhearing Addison talk about some doe-eyed little creature thing or something… All of it got me thinking…
We need Addison to come back… Permanently.
This prompted me to write down my top ten reasons why Dr. Addison Montgomery needs to get her L.A.-ified ass back to Seattle Grace… Yesterday. So here we go…
10. You can’t just find world-renowned neonatal surgeons in the Yellow Pages. What’s Richard gonna do?
9. Gandhi? Hugging?! Addison really has been in L.A. way too long.
8. Nobody can turn down Mark Sloan and his skin flaps better than Addison can.
7. Ooh! There’s an opening in Erica and Callie’s sunrise yoga class!
6. Izzie needs a mentor. Operating on deers, competing for cardio, “boxes of fun?” Never would’ve happened if Addie were around.
5. Alex is gonna need more than just a shoulder to cry on after Ava/Rebecca-gate is over.
4. It’s about time we had another 60-day sex bet at Seattle Grace.
3. Who’s gonna be there if (or rather, when) Bailey finally does fall apart?
2. If anybody could make Nurse Rose go runnin’ for the hills, it’d be Addison.
1. I really miss those salmon-colored scrubs.
Like I said, a bartender can only dream. So, until next time…

Joe....Joe
I thought you would totally have more tidbits on Callie and Mark, they were dancing, well Callie was dancing. Mark not so much. I waited all week to hear what you were going to say about the "could be" new hot couple.. and you left me hanging.. Oh well, I do agree Addison needs to come back, can you work on that!!

I want her back too.
Saaaaaad.

Joe - Couldn't you convince her to stay!!!! She needed to knock some sense into Der. Please convince Izzie to knock some sense into Alex. Actually there so many SGHers who need some sense knocked into them that Addie would have had to call in reinforcements.
Thanks for the blog!

AMEN Joe!!!
having Addison back tonight just made me realize even more how much SGH needs her. I miss the salmon scrubs too.

I'm with you all the way! Addison is the best!

I want ADDISON to come back to Seattle too. Her salmon colored scrubs? i actually miss those too even though they were beyong tacky. Mer is just so lost w/o Addison there to help her realize Derek is her man. Gosh ADDISON, COME BACK!

Hey Joe!
My favorite rule: 2. If anybody could make Nurse Rose go runnin’ for the hills, it’d be Addison.
Seriously, who says "lots of petting and tongue. great guy." Ugh at least Addison knows she's insane. Hopefully Der will catch on soon.

Addie can come back only if she is given more screentime. Kate Walsh is too talented to be wasted on Greys. Why don't you move to LA Joe ? Plenty of bars there !

Ha #2 is definitely my favorite!

Amen. Seriously!

Can I just say that I didn't even know I was an Addison fan, until, well, last night when I realized how much I miss her. Gosh darn it, I love that woman!

How are those kids?
Being a great observer of human behavior(really she needs a shrink,shes got a bartender)like yourself;dont ya think we need a few more roosters and less hen sitting at the old bar?

WORD Joe, SG needs Addison. I hope hope hope she returns!
Posted by: Ilike2think | May 02, 2008 at 12:34 PM
Totally agree. Addison needs to come back and kick somemore but so things go back to normal...and maybe she could um....make Rose mysteriously dissapear? oh nvm i want derek to choose to come home to mer...

Please Bring Addi back she made the show last night!
Posted by: | May 02, 2008 at 12:52 PM
Nope, you can't have Addison back, as the writers have already burnt their bridges & ruined Mark/Addison which could have been GREATEST !
Like Katy said, Kate Walsh is too talented to play second fiddle to a group of children. Thank goodness she has grown-ups in LA to interact with !

Addie and Alex belong together, he and Izzie SUCK!
George and Izzie also belong together, I hope you can tell Shonda that.

Joe, I think I love you! You have to do something to bring Addison back to Seattle Grace! Can you start a petition?I'll sign it whatever it takes!SGH needs Addie STAT! She needs to be there for Alex after Ava/JaneDoe/Rebecca boils her first bunny;she needs to be there to grab the potato chips from Izzie;she needs to be there for Derek(as a friend), Baily and Richard.And finally SHE NEEDS TO BE WITH MARK! I don't understand why it's so hard for the powers that be to see that Addison is not the same without Seattle Grace and Seattle Grace is not the same without Addison.
