Meanwhile, Walsh recently spoke with Hollywood Life about her sentiments toward the show. She stated, "It was a great role for me to play — I'm happy, and grateful and thrilled that I got to do it, but I did it for nine years, so for me, just as an actress, it's important to move on."

She stated, "I have no idea! I relied on the mind of Shonda Rhimes and all the writers for so long that — who knows! She could be on her third husband, she could be still with Jake [Benjamin Pratt]. She could have, like, three more kids."
"Grey's Anatomy" season 12 is expected to return on ABC this Feb. 11.
