LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Welcome a new McDreamy. "Wings" veteran Tim Daly is set to guest star in the "enhanced" two-hour episode of ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," designed to serve as a springboard for a potential spinoff from the hit medical drama.
Paul Adelstein (Fox's "Prison Break") also has been cast as a guest star in that episode with an eye to appear in the potential spinoff series headlined by Kate Walsh.
The two join previously cast Taye Diggs.
The story line for the two-hour episode, being written by "Grey's" creator/executive producer Shonda Rhimes, is being kept under wraps, but it is understood that it will feature popular "Grey's" character Addison Montgomery-Shepherd (Walsh) on the verge of leaving Seattle Grace, a scenario that will be triggered if ABC goes with the spinoff for next season.
Details on the characters in the potential spinoff also are being kept secret, but according to the breakdown, Daly's character is described as "handsome, sincere, like a McDreamy."
It was not clear what character Adelstein would play. The breakdown also includes a female psychiatrist and a female fertility specialist.
Daly most recently starred in ABC's critically praised drama "The Nine."
