Walsh discussed her impending departure from the ABC medical drama during an episode of Bethenny Frankel’s new daytime talk show, airing Wednesday.
The actress, who plays Dr. Addison Montgomery, says, “This is my last season for Private Practice. It’s been an incredible journey, an amazing ride. I’m hugely, hugely grateful.”
She adds that her leaving the show will be “bittersweet.”
