"KaDee Strickland has come on board the upcoming "Grey's Anatomy" spinoff, "Private Practice."
Meanwhile, following her brief appearance at the end of "Grey's" Season 3 finale, Chyler Leigh is joining the cast of the ABC medical drama as a regular.
On "Practice," set at a posh Los Angeles private medical practice, Strickland will play Charlotte, a doctor and hospital administrator.
On "Grey's," Leigh plays Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) half-sister, Lexie Grey, who comes to Seattle Grace as a new intern.
Both Strickland and Leigh starred on David E. Kelley series. Leigh was a lead on "Girls Club" and also recurred on Kelley's "The Practice," while Strickland toplined "The Wedding Bells."

Not really a Grey's fan myself so I don't have much of a comment. Only thing I can say it seems a bit too early for a spinoff.
