Grey’s Anatomy: Addison staying and “McSteamy” returning?

Addison fans, rejoice! It seems our favorite stiletto-clad doctor isn’t headed back to the Big Apple anytime soon, according to Michael Ausiello at TV Guide. So, apparently, the lovely Kate Walsh has more fans than just me. If the fact that She-Shepherd is staying in Seattle isn’t enough to make you giddy, Dr. Mark “McSteamy” is rumored to be signing on for next season. Here’s the info from Ausiello's column:

Ausiello: I think it's safe to say that Addison (who's rapidly becoming my new favorite character) will be around for the foreseeable future, especially in light of the rumor that Eric Dane (aka McSteamy) has signed on to appear in at least 13 episodes next season. Naturally, no one at ABC is confirming, but the way the Grey's writers gush about him in their weekly blog, it would hardly come as a surprise.
