mark first appears in season two, introduced as a highly respected otolaryngologist sub-specialized in plastic surgery and the childhood best friend of neurosurgeon derek shepherd (patrick dempsey). in his first appearance, he flirts with meredith grey, and derek punches him in the face. derek explains that mark had an affair with his wife, addison (kate walsh) while they were living in new york. mark travels to seattle, intent on convincing addison to return with him, but his offer is rejected and derek declines to renew their friendship. mark returns during season three at addison's drunken behest, but she again rejects him once sober. undeterred, mark sells his successful private practice (which he previously shared with derek) and takes over the plastics program at seattle grace hospital. during meredith's morphine rampage, mark finds out about his nickname mcsteamy which was given to him by her during his first trip to seattle back when he attempted to get addison back and earn derek's friendship back. it is later revealed that mark has at some point slept with all of derek's sisters. mark has a brief fling with addison's friend, orthopedic surgeon callie torres (sara ramirez), and develops a friendship with derek's girlfriend, intern meredith grey (ellen pompeo). it is revealed that after derek left new york, mark and addison continued their relationship for two months, during which she conceived and aborted his child. just weeks after moving to seattle he quickly observes that derek's true love was meredith and tries to convince addison that her marriage with derek was over. mark enters into a sixty-day abstinence pact with addison, agreeing that if they can remain celibate for that time, addison will give their relationship another chance. addison ultimately breaks the pact by having sex with intern alex karev (justin chambers), and soon thereafter departs from seattle to work in los angeles.

most of addison's past is presented in a non-linear fashion, primarily revealed in the second season of "grey's anatomy" and the second and third season of "private practice". addison is the daughter of wealthy parents and has a $25 million trust fund. addison's father is nicknamed "the captain" and is a doctor who teaches medicine at a university where addison would sit and watch as a child. her father used spending time with his daughter as a pretense for his many affairs. addison's mother is beatrice "bizzy" forbes montgomery and her brother, archer, is a world-class neurologist and successful author. addison met her future husband, derek shepherd, in medical school. although never actually stated in the series, this would mean that she attended columbia university college of physicians and surgeons in new york city. she met future colleagues sam and naomi bennett there as well. addison and derek each began their practice in new york city, which placed a strain on their marriage. their marriage was troubled in the years leading to derek's decision to leave new york as it is eventually revealed in both "grey's anatomy" and "private practice" that derek's mother did not approve of her (choosing to give her dead husband's ring to derek's second wife, meredith grey) and addison's brother archer disliked derek. derek later admitted that he was at fault as he was an absent husband. addison's affair with derek's best friend mark sloan drove the wedge even further and derek's departure to seattle. addison briefly attempted to have a relationship with mark, which resulted in her becoming pregnant. she had an abortion as she was still in love with derek, and when mark cheated on her, she moved to seattle.
