Judging by the comments on the "Grey’s Anatomy" writer’s blog after Thursday’s episode, fans of the show were rather pleased to see Dr. Mark "McSteamy" Sloan again. Better news for those fans, a number of whom made references to jaws dropping: He’ll be sticking around for a while. Eric Dane, who made his first appearance on the show last season and closed Thursday’s episode by walking out of a hotel bathroom wearing only a towel, is joining the cast full-time, ABC says. His appearance Thursday closed a scene in which Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) was breaking up (for good, apparently) with his estranged wife, Addison (Kate Walsh). Sloan, of course, was the reason Derek moved to Seattle in the first place, when his former best friend slept with his wife. His ongoing presence will either set up two interlocking love triangles (Meredith-Finn-Derek and Derek-Addison-Sloan) or one big love pentagon. Or, if the Shepherds’ marriage really is done for good, at least give Addison a new man.

I love it just as long as every episode ends with him coming out of the shower in a towel! LOL!
