Grey’s Anatomy season 19 episode 12: Is Addison dead?

Grey's Anatomy season 19

Going into tonight’s Grey’s Anatomy season 19 episode 12, there was really one question that everyone had above all others, and understandably so. Was Addison Montgomery dead?

As we prepared for the episode, we knew that Kate Walsh’s longtime fan-favorite character was in grave danger after being charged at by the far. Yet, there was also nothing that indicated to us that she would 100% be a goner. She didn’t get the full impact of the attack, and we also didn’t think there was any reason for the medical drama to remove this character from their world.

Remember this, for starters: Walsh is not a series regular. Beyond just that, she’s also someone you would like to have at your disposal in the future. There was no functional reason to kill Addison off, and we couldn’t imagine the show wanting to do this simply for the sake of doing so. It’d dash our (perhaps impossible) hopes to see a revival of Private Practice down the road!

Anyhow, let’s just get through the good news: Addison is going to be okay. While we know that things were touch-and-go for a good while, at the end of the day, we ended up having a chance to see the good news at the end.

With this in mind, there should be chances to get her back around the hospital again — and for now, we can rejoice in the fact that we had some really good stuff for Walsh to sink her teeth into as a performer. If you love this show, we do think there are opportunities for great things down the road — and we know that Addison will be a part of them.
