The Bold and the Beautiful's Ashley Jones  is keeping busy in the new year. According to CBS Soaps In Depth, Jones has landed a guest arc on ABC's  Private Practice.

Meanwhile, Violet gets hit on by hunky paramedic portrayed by Hung’s Stephen Amell. Is anyone else ecstatic that Addison (Kate Walsh) and Sam (Taye Diggs) broke up? Both deal with being single once again. 

In the aftermath of learning her husband died on the operating table, Teddy (Kim Raver) questions Cristina (Sandra Oh) about how the surgery went down.

Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) may not have crossed over to Private Practice from Grey’s Anatomy for the spinoff’s powerful November intervention episode, but it turns out another crossover is in the works. According to TV Guide,  Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) and Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) will both appear on Grey’s Anatomy in February, while Derek  and Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) will appear on Private Practice.

Following the "If/Then" episode of Grey's — in which Kate Walsh will appear in an alternate reality that sees Ellis Grey (Kate Burton) alive and Addison and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) still married — Caterina Scorsone's Amelia will head to Seattle Grace for an episode slated for mid-February. Details are scarce, but both Derek and Lexie (Chyler Leigh) will also appear in the Private Practice hour of the crossover.

Tonight’s two-hour Private Practice is sure to be emotionally explosive. For months we’ve watched as Amelia’s (Caterina Scorsone) life has unraveled, thanks to her drinking and drug problem. Individually, members of Seaside Wellness have tried to help Amelia, but she’s rebuffed them at every turn. Tonight, they come together for an intervention, which gets ugly.

The evolution of this storyline has provided a lot of drama for Private Practice, but I must admit being disappointed that the intervention wasn’t used as an opportunity for a crossover by Patrick Dempsey’s Derek Shepherd from Grey’s Anatomy. Watch the trailer for Private Practice’s two-hour November sweeps intervention episode after the jump!
