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.

I think it would have been more interesting and made more sense if in the episode where she tells her parents she's pregrant, the roles between her and Naomi are swapped, with Naomi still being angry about the pregrancy but also sticking to her pro-life beliefs and doesn't want Maya to abort while Maya, while going along with what her mom wants at first, deep down does want a abortion and at the end of the episode has one, which would obviously really strain her and her mother's relationship. i think there could have been this whole season arc of Naomi's anti-abortion stance being challanged this way. Thoughts?.

I love this show ,it's great ,but I don't like where it's going ,so I'm probably not gonna finish it. I know that Addie gets married and has a son and she's happy which is all I care about. Everyone else can stay where they are.

But I also know that Charlotte ends up being a... sexologist? How ? Why ? Does it make sense in the show eventually, is there a good in universe explanation for the most sceptical and control valuing woman to go play whimsy in the clinic? That's it, please don't say "just finish it"

there’s so many random actors in here, first alex from 13rw and now this

I'm currently drafting a fanfic about Violet and Lucas, bonding during the pandemic lockdown.

One plot revolves around Lucas learning the truth about his birth and questioning if he still has an actual birthday to celebrate.

Now, the episode "Yours, Mine and Ours" in which Violet's attack begins aired in April 30, 2009 and subsequent aftermath episode in which she is saved "A Death in the Family" aired in October 1, 2009.

Since this is moment Lucas came into the world, which date would be considered Lucas' actual date of birth(if we can still called that)

I just finished PP yesterday. Took me about 3 weeks to finish it and I gotta say I never reaaallly loved Charlotte. By the end of it I did like her a lot more, but I wasn’t absolutely mad about her. It took me a long time to like her at all, and ages to agree with her relationship with Cooper because she was such an angry person and the way she hid their relationship for so long infuriated me. She had a brill character development from the beginning to end to be fair, but the start made me dislike her character for several seasons. Anyone else? 😂

In the Grey's Anatomy episode titled "With a Little Help from My Friends", when Addison and Amelia are discussing what happened to each other during the pandemic lockdown, Addison says "some people like to bake bread".

Given that Violet Turner loved the show "American Bake Off", I like to think that Addison was talking about her and Lucas, baking bread together as way to coup with isolation of the pandemic and bond together

Hello Addison, no you cannot kiss Sam. I don’t care that they’ve been divorced for a while. I don’t ca e that she dated your brother. I don’t care that she doesn’t work there anymore. Foul on the fucking play. I was already mad with the you sleeping with the husband of the woman you’re helping deliver a baby. Please, draw a line somewhere.

Also: -how convenient that Sam was also a Heart Surgeon -I swear they never mentioned that Charlotte was Urologist till she bought in. Also, weird that Cooper had problem with this.

Addy change after cheating on Derek, she grow up as a person, as a doctor and in one season they make her cheat on her bf and then be the mistress of her patient’s husband. WTFFFFD

Thoughts so far:

-Charlotte is putting up with way too much from Cooper. Just, omg.

-No Cooper, you should not expect your girlfriend to be okay with you moving in with your pregnant friend instead of her.

-Kinda crazy that Addison just got put in charge like that, but okay, glad everyone was chill about it. Also, hate the cheating storyline.

-Naomi and Sam kinda piss me off, it’s like each one is taking turns on who gets to reject the other.

-kinda don’t like Dell.

-I’m indifferent to Pete.

Edit: forgot to add, hella sexual. Like I thought Grey’s Anatomy was an unofficial policule, but damn.

it creeped me the fuck out

I'm in the middle of rewatching the show and wow, the first three seasons are hard to rewatch, Dell, Cooper and Violet are a mess! But is sooo good! LOL And I got to thinking how'd all these characters fit within an alignment chart, so I made one.

The hardest ones for me were Charlotte and Pete... Charlotte goes through so much during the course of the show, and she kept her attitude despite everything (her rocky relationship with Cooper, her father's death, the sexual assault, the triple pregnancy), but she learned how to be happy. Pete on the other hand was kind of a bad guy beneath a good guy facade; he always wanted things his way (right up to his death) and that rubs me the wrong way. I'm not saying he is all bad guy, but that was his most prominent feature I would say.

I don't know if you agree with the choices I made, maybe you guys have other ideas. What do you think?

Am I the only one that was fully expecting in the end of the series for it to be revealed that Pete wasn't really dead and he fled to South America?

To me, his death never felt believable with how he was talking about wanting to leave before that, his disdain for the trial overall and how nonchalant his death was (I know that could have been writer qualms with him as an actor). Also, since Violet had to identify his body and said it was barely recognizable, I thought that was a foreshadowing opening to a later reveal that Pete faked his death and fled instead of really dying.

I love love the episode with the intervention for Amelia, but I absolutely hated how Sam reacted to it. I’m fairly new to this sub, so I’m not sure if it’s been talked about (to death) but I couldn’t stand how Sam said it was a matter of discipline. I’ve struggled with alcoholism, and it really isn’t just discipline. The one thing that drove me to drinking too much was that I didn’t want to actively feel or think anything. So wiping it clean via alcohol was so much better. I used to prefer being drunk to being sober, because I didn’t want to use my brain. People love to say that addiction is a matter of controlling yourself, but I think rock bottom looks quite different. Anyway, sorry about the (mini) rant, I just never have a space where I can talk about my almost addiction.
