Last fall, Gilmore Girls' David Sutcliffe appeared in two episodes of ABC's Private Practice, the Grey's Anatomy spin-off. His guest starring stint as a potential love interest for lead character Addison (played by Kate Walsh) was set to last a few episodes but was cut short due to the writers strike. Since the last episode of PP's short season aired, it was unknown if the actor would return as Officer Kevin Nelson, a cop that caught Addison's interest. The actor's schedule could have changed, the writers could have decided to bench his character, who knows?
Sutcliffe fans, fear not! In the latest edition of the "Ausiello Report Vodcast Scoop," Michael Ausiello interviewed Sutcliffe (the interview starts at the 1:17 mark in the video below) and was able to get confirmation that the actor will return to Private Practice.
The actor will be back for a sizable multi-episode arc next season. Sutcliffe confirmed that he'll appear in at least 11 episodes of the show's second season to woo Kate Walsh's character.
Production for the second season of the series resumed earlier this month. Private Practice will return this fall on ABC.

I don't like David Sutcliffe. And the character he plays is boring. Addison should be with Pete, they have great chemistry. Plus Tim Daly is much more talented actor than DS.
