Plastic Fantastic!

Will both doctors be returning to our screens?

Will both doc­tors be return­ing to our screens?

Wednes­day 18th Novem­ber FINALLY sees the return of series five of Nip/Tuck to FX after the mid-season break. Well, hav­ing peeked ahead as far as the first few episodes of series six, I can tell you that it was def­i­nitely worth the wait. New sur­geons and life-altering dis­cov­er­ies make series 5 part two drip with dilem­mas and dra­mas. And let’s not for­get, series six will see the scrubs hung up for good on Nip/Tuck, so rel­ish in the unbe­liev­able plots while they last folks.

So where did we leave the sur­geons? Chris­t­ian dis­cov­ered that his son Matt’s new girl­friend was actu­ally his daugh­ter from a fling decades ago and failed to stop him falling for her, Julia had been mer­ci­lessly shot by LA-brat Eden and lost her mem­ory in the process (amne­sia had to make an appear­ance even­tu­ally), but more impor­tantly, Sean had been bru­tally stabbed by his psycho-agent Coleen after telling her where to stick her creepy ted­dies, putting his and Annie’s lives in peril. The big ques­tion then is whether the eternally-fretful Sean will sur­vive? We’ve seen Chris­t­ian escape the clutches of the Carver’s poten­tially fatal blow, but can his col­league and best friend enjoy the same relief? I’m say­ing nothing…

No one said beauty couldn’t be ugly.
