Francie joins forces with Mcdreamy's wife

Merrin Dungey

Kate Walsh

I just love it when my favourite actresses from past shows get a gig on upcoming ones:). In this case it's Merrin Dungey who played Sydney Bristow's (Jennifer Garner's) best friend Francie on Alias. She will be joining the cast of Kate Walsh's (Addison Shepard) Grey's Anatomy spin-off on ABC.

No details yet on what type of character she'll be playing. I must say I was happy to see she's finally getting some work.

The last thing I remember seeing her in was the short lived series Summerland. Let's hope this one lasts longer. With two great female leads, it makes you wonder who'll be cast in the male roles.
