Have U Heard??

Tonight Private Practice will have two consective one hour shows.  Fancast spoke to Taye Diggs about the upcoming episode.  Diggs even gave some spoilers for tonight’s episode.

This weeks summary for the first of this week’s two ‘Private Practice’ episodes reads: “Sam and Naomi deal with a family crisis when they discover their daughter is growing up way too fast.”

Is this a case of, “Egads, we found a condom in Maya’s Hello Kitty purse”?

Diggs: [Laughs] Well, we don’t know whether or not she’s actually sexually active, but it scares us both. Naomi handles it a little differently than Sam, but Maya definitely needs a talking to. It brings Sam and Naomi together a little bit more, physically, as we spend time dealing with this obstacle.

What is Sam’s point of view?

At first he doesn’t know for a fact what’s going down, so he’s a bit more relaxed [than Naomi]. I feel like if we just have a talk with Maya and remind her how to be responsible, she’ll heed our warnings.

Does a part of you prefer these parenting stories to the medical drama?

I like it all. They just introduced heart surgery [as something Sam can do] and I would be lying if I said it wasn’t fun. You as an actor actually get a high, because when you get in there with that “blood” and these life-like organs, you really feel like you’re doing something.

Tim Daly has at times been outspoken on Pete’s assigned take on certain issues. Have you ever disagreed with how Sam sided on something?

I have, I have. In the past, with respect to the relationship Sam has with Naomi, if I were his friend I would have told him to grow a pair. He had kind of let Naomi walk all over him, so I’ve been very pleased to see him stand up on his own two feet.

Will there be any follow-up to the kiss Sam and Addison shared a couple of weeks ago? Or was that a matter of the writers saying, “Let’s just check this off our list”?

They play all the storylines close to the vest…. I know that the seed is planted and the two of them work together, so they will have to deal with that, even if it’s a matter of there being a bit more tension in the workplace. But the possibility is there, looming.
