Overview

Nip/Tuck follows the lives of two Miami plastic surgeons, Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon). The show, while not strictly a soap opera, has some story arcs. In its debut season, Nip/Tuck was the highest-rated new series on American basic cable, and the highest rated basic cable series of all for the 18-49 and 25-54 age demographics. The fourth season of the series premiered on September 5 2006 on FX Networks.[1] The show has attracted criticism from groups such as the Parents Television Council and others[2] for its sometimes graphic scenes depicting surgery or sexual acts[3].

Characters and cast

Template:Spoilers For full character details and histories, see the articles for each character.

Main characters

  • Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) - A plastic surgeon nearing middle age and trying to come to terms with his marriage falling apart. He is expecting a baby with his former wife, Julia, and he wants the family to live together. Runs the McNamara/Troy plastic surgery practice with his best friend, Christian Troy, who was revealed to be the father of Sean's son Matt.
  • Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) - A womanizing plastic surgeon also approaching middle age, Christian serves as a foil to the more family-minded Sean McNamara, who is his best friend and business partner. He is struggling with his sexuality and it was his idea to sell ownership of the company. Biological father of Matt McNamara. Kimber Henry is his on-again/off-again girlfriend.
  • Julia McNamara (Joely Richardson) - Sean McNamara's wife of 17 years, mother to Matt McNamara and Annie McNamara. Dropped out of medical school to raise her son, she is extremely bitter about this, leading to tension that ultimately resulted in the end of her marriage to Sean. Currently runs De La Mer, a day spa for surgery patients in recovery and is pregnant once again with Sean's baby.
  • Matt McNamara (John Hensley) - Sean and Julia's extremely troubled teenage son, who amongst his vast lists of acts committed, includes running over and disfiguring a classmate, gaybashing a transsexual, filing false child abuse reports with child welfare on his parents, and attacking the racist father of his ex-girlfriend. Christian is his biological father. He was also involved with a post-operation transexual, whom he believed to be in love with.
  • Liz Cruz (Roma Maffia) - Head anesthesiologist for McNamara/Troy and doctor De La Mer. Often portrayed as the 'voice of reason' at McNamara/Troy, she is a 40-something year old lesbian and feminist, Liz often serves as a sarcastic foil for Christian Troy.
  • Kimber Henry (Kelly Carlson) - Christian's on-again off-again, girlfriend whom he met in the pilot episode. Former model, pornographic actress, drug addict, and pornography producer, she is extremely self-conscious about her looks and has severe low self-esteem problems, partially brought about due to Christian's general apathy towards Kimber's feelings, which was expressed most notably in season one, when he attempted to "trade" Kimber to a rival plastic surgeon who was in love with her in exchange for the rival's new sports car. She was a victim of the Carver, a crazed plastic surgeon, and former fiance of Troy.
  • Gina Russo (Jessalyn Gilsig) - A troubled, bitter HIV positive sex addict in her mid-30's who has a very adversarial relationship with Christian Troy, who she refers to as "asshole" as opposed to using his actual name. Co-Owner of the De La Mer surgical recovery spa with Julia.

Primary antagonists

  • Escobar Gallardo (Robert LaSardo) - A ruthless, violent, and somewhat Scarface-esque drug lord from South America who the doctors become entangled with during season one. Has a thing for 1980s music and ultimately blackmailed Sean and Christian into giving him a new face so he could leave the drug business behind and start again. Instead, he was given the face of another wanted criminal and promptly arrested. Appeared briefly in a dream in the season 2 finale, encouraging Sean to kill the Carver. Season 4 premiere showed that he will appear in some capacity in season 4. (season 1,2,4)
  • Ava Moore (Famke Janssen) - A sociopathic, pedophillic life coach who routinely manipulates her clients for her own amusement. Is hired by Sean to fix his marriage to Julia only to seduce their son Matt and reveal Christian as Matt's biological father (a result of Julia's one night stand with Christian while she was engaged to Sean and still attending medical school). At the end of season two, Ava was revealed to be transsexual who left her husband/doctor before the final surgery was performed on her; Ava was able to barter with Sean and Christian into performing one last surgery to complete her transformation into womanhood in exchange for her dumping Matt. Step-mother to Adrian Moore and was married to Dr. Barrett Moore. (Season 2)
  • Quentin Costa aka The Carver (Bruno Campos) - An openly bisexual plastic surgeon originally from Atlanta who was ultimately revealed to be the mysterious masked serial rapist, and one-time murderer, The Carver. He disfigures his victims by cutting a deep slash on either side of their mouths, resembling a smile. Born with no genitals. Briefly a limited partner at McNamara/Troy and tormented the two due to their interference with his crimes committed as the Carver. Ultimately faked his death with the help of his sister and fled to Europe. (Seasons 2-3)
  • Michelle Landau (Sanaa Lathan) - A beautiful thirtysomething woman married to a wealthy, much older man who is now the owner of McNamara/Troy. She is a tough supervisor who harbors a deep secret from her past which involves an older woman who is blackmailing her. The reasons for this are unknown yet. (Season 4) [4]

Controversy

Main article: Issues addressed in Nip/Tuck

The show has attracted significant controversy for its handling of sensitive issues such as homosexuality, transexuality, rape and incest, among others. However, this also goes partway towards explaining the show's popularity, with many fans enjoying the refreshing 'no boundaries' approach that the show takes to these issues. One particular group from whom Nip/Tuck has drawn criticism is the Parents Television Council, who have criticised the show for what they perceive to be an irresponsible or insensitive approach to these issues, especially when children might be watching (the show is, however, shown at a late hour with multiple 'Viewer Discretion Advised' warnings). A particular scene involving a fivesome pushed them into starting a campaign to get the show taken off the air by writing to the sponsors of the show and threatening to boycott their products. So far, numerous companies have dropped their sponsorship of the show, although Sony, arguably the biggest sponsor, continues to support the show. As of yet, no official responses to these criticisms has been issued by FX or by Ryan Murphy.

Real-life basis for surgeries

Series creator Ryan Murphy has stated that the medical cases featured on the show are "100 percent based on fact" [11].

  • In Episode 1.13 ("Escobar Gallardo"), the featured surgery involved a druglord changing his appearance via plastic surgery. In July of 1997, Amado Carrillo Fuentes, one of the world's most powerful drug traffickers at the time, died while having plastic surgery to drastically alter his face (and while having 3 1/2 gallons of fat sucked from his body).[12]
  • In Episode 2.4, ("Mrs. Grubman"), the featured surgery involves a patient addicted to plastic surgery. Plastic surgery addiction is a real phenomenon, and is believed to stem from a psychological condition called Body dysmorphic disorder in many cases.
  • In Episode 2.9 ("Rose and Raven Rosenberg"), the featured surgery concerned the separation of two adult conjoined twins (played by Lori and Reba Schappell). While there have been many cases of conjoined twin separation, the surgery featured in this episode shares some details with the 1991 separation of Gracie and Rosie Attard, which resulted in the death of Rosie.[13]
  • In Episode 2.10 ("Kimber Henry"), a surgery in the show involved a male writer/humorist getting breast implants as resource material for a new book. This shares some similarities with the story of Canadian Brian Zembic, who in the year 2000 got breast implants to win a $100,000 USD (£45,000) bet. Unlike the patient on Nip/Tuck, Zembick decided to keep his breasts, and later displayed them to the world on an episode of The Man Show.[14]
  • In Episode 3.1 ("Momma Boone"), the featured surgery appears to have been based on a 480-pound Florida resident, who died after emergency workers tried to separate her from the couch she had lived on for 6 years.[15]
  • In Episode 3.9 ("Hannah Tedesco"), the featured surgery was a facial transplant. In November of 2005, a French plastic surgeon performed the world's first (partial) face transplant[16]. While the real-life surgery was performed after the episode first aired, face transplant surgery had been a theoretical possibility in the plastic surgery community for some time.
  • In Episode 3.13 ("Joy Kringle"), the featured surgery involves a woman who unknowingly has carried a petrified fetus inside of her for 17 years. While this sounds like something from a Hollywood screenwriter's imagination, Lithopedions (or "stone babies") are a real, albeit rare phenomenon that result when a fetus dies during an ectopic pregnancy. Two recent cases reported in the news include a 49-year-old fetus found in a 76-year-old woman (2000), and a 39-year-old fetus in a 67-year-old (1999).[17]

Nip/Tuck became an instant basic cable hit from its 2003 series premiere and has grown in audience ever since.

For its third season, FX aired Nip/Tuck solely in the fall of 2005, instead of during the summer season like the two years prior. John Landgraf, president of FX, stated that such a move was a "huge risk" since it stacked up "against the full barrage of fall network competition."[20] Despite some critical backlash on its third season, like the grade of D+ from Entertainment Weekly,[22] the story arc involving The Carver attracted an audience to the series larger than any season before, culminating in a December 20, 2005 two-hour season finale, entitled Cherry Peck / Quentin Costa, which became the most-watched program in the history of the FX network.

Including Cherry Peck / Quentin Costa, three episodes of Nip/Tuck rank as the three most-watched programs ever on FX. The second season finale, entitled Joan Rivers, which aired on October 5, 2004, drew 5.2 million viewers. It was then eclipsed on September 20, 2005 when the third season premiere, entitled Momma Boone, drew roughly 5.3 million viewers.[23]. Exactly three months later on December 20, 2005, the aforementioned third season finale, entitled Cherry Peck / Quentin Costa, drew 5.7 million viewers. Of those 5.7 million viewers, 3.9 million viewers were in the 18-49 age group demographic, "making the finale the No. 1 episode among the key advertising demographic of any cable series in 2005. It's also the largest demographic number for any single telecast in the network's history,"[20] according to Zap2It.

According to the September 8, 2006 Mediaweek column The Programming Insider, "the fourth season-premiere on Tuesday, September 5, 2006, from 10-11:10 p.m. averaged a stellar 4.8 million total viewers and 3.4 million adults 18-49, building over its season three average by 25 percent and 26 percent, respectively. Nip/Tuck’s performance among adults 18-49 ranks as basic cable’s top-rated season-premiere in the demo for 2006, [as of September 8, 2006]."[21]
