18 years ago Addison Montgomery walked into Grey’s Anatomy with the most iconic entrance
I love her so much
Shes so gorgeous
I love Addison Montgomery and I seriously adore Kate Walsh and everything she's been a part of. I also thought it was really cool that one of my doctors looks exactly like a brunette Kate Walsh.
They way I would never leave lmao
I guess they were trying to make her look like a New York socialite, but she looked so much older in those first few episodes they way they did her hair & dressed her. Then of course they just let her be her gorgeous self.
Its interesting to think about what Derek's & Addy's intact marriage might've been like.
Seriously, that weird cartoony hairdo did not suit her... She looked like what a female satan might look like in Powerpuff girls... Absolutely adored her anyway tho, and they fixed it like 2 episodes in and now she's my fav
I'm so glad they corrected her "look" because in the post photo she looks like Mer's mom & Kate is so beautiful. She really owns that character.
Satan as a Powerpuff girl is gonna stick in my head for a minute, LOL.
Ikr, she's freaking gorgeous... No cos actually imagine blossom with her hair down, and shorter and kinda modern and tell me they're not the same person.
pls tell me i’m not the only one who thought that was derek’s mom or smth at the first glance
Oh absolutely. Such a bad look.
Yes! She looks the NY socialite caricature they show Rachel and her friends being, in flashbacks on Friends
Very much so. I love the Friends comparison.
They had little chemistry
those of you watched it live -- did you have any idea she would become like, the best character?
Noooo not at the time! I remember being so pissed for Mer! My roommates and I would watch together we wanted her to leave. We were totally rooting for Derek and Mer. I mean to us she was the bitch who cheated on Derek! As she settled in her role and was on the show longer we couldn't help but end up loving her!
Nobody knew anything. The season ended and then you had to wait and wait and tune in every week to see. It was so much more suspenseful like that.
I think they had no idea but because of her popularity from that scene she became a main character. i think the plan was have her as guest star and never be main character.
I’m still obsessed with that coat.
I still remember the shock. I’m so glad it wasn’t spoiled for me and I had no clue what was coming.
Same! Television viewing back then was so different to now. I feel sorry for younger people who learn everything off TikTok before they even watch a show.
I remember this scene airing on all the adverts for the next week episode, and my dad saying "you must be the WHORE" and that memory has stuck with me my whole life
She brought so much class.
Even the way she threw her wedding ring in the ocean exuded class
Literally just watched that ep today
I love her so much and my love only grew when I found out she was the inspiration for the Christina Applegate character in The Sweetest Thing!!!
Is this true? I freaking loved Christina in that movie!
It is! I was reading an article by the movie’s screenwriter Nancy Pimental and she was talking about how it was in part based on her friendship with her best friend Kate Walsh. Watch it again now and see all the subtle ways Christina evokes her!
Agreed. And she looked hot as hell
You must be the woman who's bumping nasties with my husband.
I just rewatched this. Still great.
I’ve said this before, and no hate to the beautiful Meredith, but I can easily see why she felt so intimidated by Addison right away. Addison exudes power and beauty, I’d hate to compete with her over anything.
She turned to be one of my favourite characters. I like her far better than Derrick.
EIGHTEEN years ago? I feel ancient
I’m sorry to make it worse … but 19 years ago.
I can’t believe she is supposed to be disliked as a character. She is just amazing
A queen needs to use this line when they enter the ru paul werkroom
the baddest bitch I’m sorry I’ll never get Derek’s decision lmao
well she did cheat on him multiple times & admit she fell in love with his best friend
Well, yes!
I’m turning 18 in November 😭
omg. think about it, the current interns were children when this was going on
Great. Not only have you made me feel old, but my children as well 🤣
I’m rewatching right this episode right now.
Psst. 19 years.
This is still my favorite scene from the show. When Addison walked in looking all 1950’s movie actress glam, DAMN. She is still beautiful.
She nailed that entrance! I hated loving her, for a while, but now I’m all about her!
i only have 1 episode left to watch on greys so i think im going to watch private practice next
It’s a great show but it hits you in the emotions, for sure! Be ready. lol
It's crazy how she's the best character on Grey's, she so quickly became my fav, and she was only there for a bit 💔 she did questionable stuff that gave me the ick (like sleeping w Alex of all ppl) but she was still the best character. What an effortless eat
Addison is my favorite character by far!
It always hurts when a show I love is older than me. Because I would never have been able to enjoy it as it was happening. I wish I could, without all the spoilers and knowing,
And into our hearts
Truly iconic intro!
when people yell "MOTHER" they're always secretly talking about Addison
I absolutely love Addison. Derrick didn’t deserve either of them!
Jaws on the floor including merideths lmaooo
