Nip/Tuck Characters as Compelling as Ever

Nip/Tuck Characters as Compelling as Ever by Roxanne McDonald

Let’s keep tabs on our Nip/Tuck peeps and babes, shall we?

Julia is still keeping the baby, despite its ectrodactylia. Her daughter Annie has turned all the hands of all her dolls into lobster claws, but while she did so to come to terms with how it will be to have a sibling with a condition like this, Mom mistakes it for disrespect and chastises Annie, telling her it will be hard enough with strangers laughing and staring and demanding she throw away every single doll.

Matt McNamara is pumped and pumping more at a local gym, when he spies a beauty across the room. The babe turns out to be a renewed Kimber. Upon her query, Matt reports he has clamed down, has no feelings really, as he is on anti-depressants and sees a shrink. Kimber goes nuts in response, suggesting he re-think his life and attitudes and feelings by futzing with this machine that measures a kind of mental/emotional homeostasis. Turns out, the whacky new technique that has changed Kimber into a make-up-free, health-conscious, but somewhat tendentious new woman is Scientology.

This brings us to

Sean and Christian. Both have been getting called on the carpet for doing pro bono work – Sean for work on a severely needful client (with what looks like craniodiaphyseal dysplasia) and Christian for doing a classic boob reduction job.

Besides facing the “boss” b.s. together and in contention with each other, they also share the concerns of a son who has chosen to go the way of Kimber and L. Ron Hubbard. Matt has come to Sean asking that the money spent on drugs and shrinks be used for Scientology instead, and Sean has refused, so Matt, in a typical offspring move, goes to Mom, who agrees to give him the money.

And Liz has accidentally happened upon the new boss getting seduced by an older femme, played by Jacqueline Bisset, in the building’s parking garage. When she alludes to it later, the freaked out Mrs. L. fires Liz.

In addition to the above stressors, Sean is making moves and suggestions towards operating on their unborn baby to fix the damage before the kid has to grow up with it; and Christian, visiting Blu Mondae for a strip and lap dance, is feeling his lack of feelings (physical), which points to the gay chicken who has approached him for help.

Christian had counseled a young man whose sugar daddy wanted to change the kid’s appearance, despite how pretty he already is. Christian tried to get the guy to give up the bear and go out on his own. And we know how Christian convinces young men, by taking them to a strip club and getting them some experience. The guy does return, to Christian’s apt., after getting beat up for going hetero for a night. Christian gives the guy 500 bucks to get necessities and offers to put him up in a hotel for a bit.

The guy prefers to hit on Christian further, so to get a new home and daddy. And Nip-Tuck brings in a whole new set of implications to add to the first episodes. But Christian cannot be gay! Please! Julian McNamara was all I had during the Charmed years, and now I thought I had found my icon of fantasy and lust safely in my head as a straight. Whatever shall I and the thousands of other women followers do?
