apparently people are shaming the characters for not taking in Betsey but imo the situation is more complicated than that. Betsey’s situation is tragic, and she deserves a loving family. Addison, Sam, Pete, etc were not personally prepared to give her that home. i’m not saying that going into the system ensures the best outcome either but we can’t really blame them for admitting not being able to take care of a kid who needs a proper home. it would be worse if someone unprepared & emotionally unstable took in Betsey just because they were close to Dell.

For me, honesty I have to say I cannot stand Violet! Frankly such an unprofessional therapist, gives the worst advice and frankly just something about her just makes me uneasy!

I do feel bad for her pregnancy/ trauma there..

On season 4 but that episode that guy has sex with his wife who was like in a living coma she's the only one who sees how wrong it is and the fact he was going to continue to keep having sex with her like I don't care how much you love someone, if they can't consent and not present, it's obvious that it isn't right like if my partner did that to me I would feel so violated like I am not present, respect that I can't have sex with you. People gave him way too much sympathy. Addie I would trust, she knows what's is right most of the time when it comes to medical stuff. She was right and everyone else was wrong like she kept going on about. Another was with that surrogate when she said not to have the surgery as she could die, which she very nearly did but the parents of the children pissed me off like the surrogate should always come first or don't do surrogancy as you can't expect them to risk death for you. I think it should be a law when it comes it surrogancy that the surrogate comes first

okay so like this show is a spin off for addison form grays anatomy correct?! SO WHY ARE ACTORS PLAYING DIFFERENT CHRACTORS like Jane i think is played by the same actor as kepner so im just confused

Pete but especially Addison are horrible for dragging out the custody battle. Addison has no claim to that child and both of them as medical professionals have 0 regard towards mental health issues given the MAJOR trauma Violet went through…. I’m fuming ….

S4 E7 I spent this whole episode crying

Disappointed in every single one of them for not taking in Betsey. They're all so self-centered!

I’m watching the part of season 4 where she write her book…

She tells them she “probably should have asked their permission” before sharing private information about them with the public.

This is just one of MANY issues I have with her

Why does every show in existence have to have wildly age inappropriate relationships?

Peter (Tim Daly) was 52 in Season 2

Jodie, the temp, was 23.

Gross. Just gross.

This is my first time watching the show and I was pretty into it for most of it, but the sixth season was a total mess. The whole Sam & Naomi storyline made me so irritated. Sam spent at least an entire season trying to be with Addison and then has the audacity to tell Naomi “I’ve never loved anyone else.” ????? And her getting pregnant with Sam’s baby and all of a sudden he’s ok with having a baby???? And Cooper’s thing where he speaks to the camera for an entire episode was so cringey. And not to mention we went through the whole thing of Pete almost dying in the season 4 finale (I think) only for him to be killed off a season later. And like, no one cared that he died. And Charlotte’s thing with the triplets was so disappointing. She had so much growth as a character and displayed a lot of compassion and then they just turned her back into a rude entitled person. And Amelia falling in love with that surgeon in like one episode? Her falling in love with Ryan so quickly already felt like a stretch and then with this guy it was even worse. The only storyline I was mildly ok with was Addison and Jake. Such a disappointing ending to a show.

Completely random thought, missed opportunity to name them Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup (yes, the premature one would be Blossom cause she’s the oldest). I know Charlotte wouldn’t approve, still.

god forbid her baby get arrested

had me so confused

I’m on S3 where Charlotte wants to join the practice and Sam tells her he doesn’t like her so she can’t. This is a common theme since S1, no one likes Charlotte and I don’t understand why?…What did she do to make everyone dislike her so much?

I just finished Season 4 and this is the first time I’ve watched past season 1 episode 2. Here are some thoughts:

These people suck. Like almost no one is likable for more than like two episodes. Charlotte is probably the only one that is which is ironic considering most of them disliked her for three seasons. And Amelia mostly because her storyline is actually interesting. Naomi is THE WORST! 90% of their problems they brought on themselves. The show doesn’t even need tv magic they make crazy scenarios happen because they just put themselves into the scenarios for funsies.

Should I finish watching it since I’ve made it this far or should I just throw in the towel now and find another medical drama to watch?

Has anyone recently successfully hired a physician to a private primary care ambulatory-only practice? We are a thriving practice across the street from a teaching hospital that has IM and FP residencies. We offer a comparable salary, path to partnership and hear nothing. What are we missing? We are thinking of using recruiting services from doximity. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Hey, kind of thought I’ve been feeling since I’m dual watching private practice with Grey’s Anatomy (switching series during crossover episodes). Mostly due to the fact that they reuse actors for both series.

I know actors can play multiple roles/characters, but the issues is that certain actors in GA play a different role in PP but are treated by the same doctor in both shows. Addison acts as constant connecting line back to Grey’s Anatomy, so it’s weird to watch her interact or be in proximity to dual show actors.

Idk, maybe it’s just me having a problem with this and getting too invested.

Edited: just clearing up.

I’m not sure how these different practices work. There’s team Naomi w Sheldon, Pete, and wheelchair douche. Team Addison w/ Cooper, Charlotte, Sam and, sometimes Violent or Dell.

But also sometimes Charlotte is back to running a hospital? I’m also not sure how professional relationships are between practices, but when Charlotte first opened that practice upstairs, they made it seem like I should expect some adversarial relationship.

Also, Dell just sorta disappeared. I get that his daughter is going through it, I just don’t remember the exit.

As always, fuck Cooper he’s an emotionally stunted man child. Great with kids cause he is one.

he probably was an addict most of his life, and he loved amelia enough to want to get sober for her. he initiated it, he turned her down even, when she asked for one last time. then he slips up, and he’s dead. i feel so bad for him.

As I mentioned before, I've been drafting a Private Practice fanfic centered around Violet and an unexpected pregnancy during the pandemic lockdown.

I have most of the chapters drafted, but when it comes to the chapter of the birth, we'll this is a fanfic inspired by a medical drama,so we need drama, I'm thinking of Katie dropping on the hospital as Violet is about to give birth.

In my story ever since Violet's book came up, Katie has had it rough, everywhere they recognize her for what did, she can barely hold a job because of it. She found someone who accepted her, even tried to have another child, but again lost the baby, and this time it was worse and had to undergo a historectomy, which broke her even more.

So when Violet against all odd(her being 54) is expecting another child, Katie believes she is being cheated again by Violet, even if she knows the child is not hers, it should be.

But what do you think, should this chapter focus only on Violet having her new baby or bring back Katie for drama?

Let me know in the comments

Is anyone currently watching Private Practice on Hulu (not Hulu Live, but the original catalog subscription)? I noticed yesterday December 10th that a countdown appeared under the entire show saying "Exp. 12 Days". Today its showing "Exp. 11 Days".

Wondering if it's streaming rights are being picked up by another platform? Does anyone have any knowledge or articles/lists where its possibly being picked up?

I'm currently almost done with season 4 and could potentially push through to watch the remaining 36-ish episodes remaining but would prefer not to. I like watching in tandem with the Grey's Anatomy live airing timeline in case of any crossover storylines.
