Nip/Tuck is an American television drama series created by Ryan Murphy for FX Networks. It is currently in its 4th season.

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. The show has attracted criticism from groups such as the Parents Television Council and others for its sometimes graphic scenes depicting surgery or sexual acts.

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 formerly perfect life falling apart. Sean and Julia, who recently reconciled after a brief separation, have another child, who's physically hanidcapped. Runs the McNamara/Troy plastic surgery practice with his best friend, Christian Troy, who has been 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, with his best friend and business partner. Christian's idea to sell ownership of the company in order to lead more stress free lives backfires. Biological father of Matt McNamara with whom he has a close relationship. Kimber Henry is his on-again/off-again girlfriend. In season 4 he starts questioning his sexuality and begins to venture into the world of Gay men.

• Julia McNamara (Joely Richardson) - Sean McNamara's wife of 18 years, mother to Matt McNamara, Annie McNamara and Conor McNamara. Dropped out of medical school to raise her children, became extremely bitter about this, leading to tension that ultimately resulted in the end of her marriage to Sean. Former co-owner of De La Mer, a day spa for surgery patients in recovery. Recently gave birth to a third child - her second with Sean - who suffers from ectrodactyly, "lobster claw syndrome."

• 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 transsexual, who he briefly believed he was in love with. He is currently in a quasi-romantic relationship with Kimber Henry, who has introduced him to scientology, which he has enthusiastically embraced. Since his conversion, and possibly partially because of his involvement with Kimber, he has cut Christian out of his life for the time being, labelling him as an "SP," or suppressive personality.

• Liz Cruz (Roma Maffia) - Head anesthesiologist for McNamara/Troy and doctor De La Mer. Often portrayed as the 'voice of reason' at McNamara/Troy, a 40-something year old lesbian and feminist, Liz often serves as a sarcastic foil for Christian Troy, though she occasionally shows concern and even admiration for Christian. She seems to have a proclivity towards physical injury, once being shot in the leg by Escobar Gallardo, and, more recently, having one of her kidneys stolen by organ thieves after being seduced and drugged by an attractive young woman.

• 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 partner ar McNamara Troy. She also had a brief sexual encounter with Sean McNamara when he was split up with Julia. In season 4, she is an enthusiastic Scientologist who helps Matt deal with his problems through counseling.

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, Sean and Christian gave him the face of another wanted criminal and he was arrested at the airport while attempting to flee the country. Appeared briefly in a dream in the season 2 finale, encouraging Sean to kill the Carver. He also appeared in season 4 as a hallucination of Sean's, encouraging him to repeat his sexual exploits with a young babysitter. Apparently has taken on the symbolic role of Sean's inner voice for aggressive behavior.
• 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 ending her relationship with Matt. Step-mother to Adrian Moore and was married to Dr. Barrett Moore. Also known as Avery Tanner.(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 penis. 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 woman is her old boss from when Michelle was an escort. Even though Michelle has paid her debts, she is still being followed. Michelle is also part of the organ theft ring that has moved into Miami. (Season 4)
• "James" (Jacqueline Bisset) - An extortionist that knows Michelle Landau, she apparently seems to have some kind of sexual relationship with her. Michelle Landau worked under her as an escort to pay her way through medical school. James is also the mastermind of the organ theft ring that targeted Liz, and she uses Michelle as a decoy for this purpose. (Season 4)

(Seasons 1-3)

Controversy

Main article: Issues addressed in Nip/Tuck

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

Trivia

Joely Richardson, Julia McNamara, is English, as is her mother Vanessa Redgrave, who plays Erica Noughton. Jessalyn Gilsig, Gina Russo, is Canadian. Bruno Campos, Quentin Costa, is Brazilian. Famke Janssen, Ava Moore, is Dutch. The actors behind minor characters "James," Jacqueline Bisset, and Jude Watson, Phillip Rhys are also British.

• Jessalyn Gilsig who plays Gina Russo and Joey Slotnick who plays Merril Bobolit, both worked on the television show Boston Public.
• Joely Richardson and John Hensley dated at one point .
• In the finale of Season 2 there was a coded (suspected intentional) reference by Julia in reference to Ava (Famke Janssen) utilizing the Phoenix analogy. At the time of airing, Janssen recently played the emerging Phoenix in the X2 movie and was in the process of production for a more fully developed Phoenix character in X-Men: The Last Stand.
• Joely Richardson is British, but plays the role of Julia McNamara with an American accent.
• Julian McMahon is the third son of Sir William McMahon, the former Australian Prime Minister, and his wife Lady Sonia McMahon. He is also singer Dannii Minogue's ex-husband.
• Valerie Cruz, the actress that played Grace Santiago in the first season, originally auditioned for the part of Julia McNamara.

• So far in the series, every time Sean decides to come home and go to the fridge for a beer, something bad follows soon after.

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" .

• 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).
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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. 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).

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." Despite some critical backlash on its third season, like the grade of D+ from Entertainment Weekly, 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.. 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," 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]."
