Grey's Spinoff Recast

This just in from TVGuide.com: When Private Practice debuts this fall, Addison (Kate Walsh) will have a new BFF – Audra McDonald. A spokesperson for ABC Studios confirms that the four-time Tony winner has been tapped to replace Merrin Dungey in the role of Dr. Naomi Bennet.

I think this was a wise decision. Not to be totally superficial, but I just feel any chemistry between Naomi and Sam (Taye Diggs). Audra is stunningly beautiful and I hope she's able to pull this off. Private Practice is going to need all they help it can get.
