Grey’s Anatomy star Kate Walsh feels ‘grateful’ to be ‘safe’ in Australia after getting trapped in Perth during the coronavirus pandemic and unable to return to New York
She’s the ravishing redhead from Grey’s Anatomy who was lucky enough to share on-screen kisses with McDreamy and McSteamy.
But what Kate Walsh is really ‘grateful’ for was getting ‘trapped’ in Perth, Western Australia, during the worldwide coronavirus pandemic.
The 52-year-old, who normally resides in New York City, told the West Australian on Thursday that she feels like she ‘left her country in wartime’ after visiting Perth for a holiday in March.

‘But I also feel very privileged and grateful to feel so safe,’ she said, praising Australia for their handling of the crisis.
Kate has enjoyed her visit so much, she has extended her visa until November and is hoping to set up some projects to work on locally.
‘I think it’s going to be quite a while before production gets up and going in the States and studios will be looking for safe, clean and hospitable places to shoot,’ she said.

She added: ‘I’ve fallen in love with this place (Perth)… but it’s true, it’s really special and stunning and I think there’s a massive opportunity to bring more culture than there already is.’
Last month, Kate celebrated her 15th anniversary since she made her debut as Dr. Addison Montgomery on Grey’s Anatomy.
Despite the distance, she gave former co-star Ellen Ellen Pompeo a laugh as she reminisced about the moment online.

‘Unreal that today marks 15 years ago to the day since this little lady walked on to your screen and checked ya for screwing her husband,’ wrote the Private Practice actress, while tagging Ellen and their co-star Patrick Dempsey.
The clip featured Dr. Derek Shepherd (Dempsey) lovingly helping Dr. Meredith Grey (Pompeo) into her coat, only for his estranged wife Addison to arrive.
Meredith’s face falls as soon as she realised Addison shares Derek’s last name, but Addison still plunges the knife in.
