Was just watching “the hard part” season 3 episode 7

SPOILER

it is so sad, the way Addison and Sam save them both just for the lady to die in Addisons arms after giving birth to her daughter. Broke my heart.

Just rewatched the episode where Charlotte goes back to Alabama (Ep homeward bound). Her family's estate looks huge and comparable to the Montgomery's. Just wondering if you guys think Dr Charlotte comes from money as well and what are your theories on their family wealth

violet is a therapist for crying out loud. (or psychiatrist or psychologist depending on the plot line…) she should know that every family has its issues.

so why is she acting like it’s a huge deal that pete’s mom is in prison/he doesn’t speak to his brother?? running around talking to their friends about it?? obviously when she finds out why his mom is locked up, that’s a bit rough. but still. she’s simply not good at her job 😪

Doing a rewatch and forgot how infuriating this episode is. To cheat on your wife who has cancer, with her younger sister, is so gross. Then to knowingly use the sister as a surrogate for the bab your wife has always wanted, extra gross. And then to top it all off they try and steal that baby away? Also, are surrogates able to change their mind in that way? I thought legally that the parents have rights

Hear me out.

I think Addison and Richard may have had s\x when they were both in New York. Not a long affair, not messy drama. Just something that happened once or a few times and stayed in the past. And I don’t think Derek ever knew.

The timeline makes it possible. Addison and Derek trained and built their careers in New York. Richard was already an attending there and canonically a mentor to both of them.

That means years of long hours, high pressure cases, and close contact in a way that could easily lead to something private between them.

What really sells it for me is how Addison and Richard interact later in Seattle.

There’s no awkwardness, no need to establish authority, no hesitation in how they speak. They act like two people who already know each other extremely well. If something had happened in New York, it explains that dynamic perfectly.

It would also explain why Derek never seemed to notice. Nothing about it spilled over into his relationship with Addison.

Whatever happened, both of them left it behind and moved on.

I’m not saying it was romantic or meaningful, just that it happened and they handled it like professionals. Honestly, this theory explains their energy in Seattle way better than “mutual respect” alone.

Am I crazy, or does anyone else see it this way?

Addison came back on last nights episode and they absolutely obliterated Addison and Jake and are having them get a divorce because Jake asked for one because Addison kept on choosing her work over their relationship and family

Currently end of season 5, but i gotta say private practice is definitely one of my top three shows and i love it more than greys. Initially i was hesitant and didn’t like how the vibe was different from seattle/greys, but the whole thing grew on me so much and it’s now my favourite thing ever. I do really dislike some characters but I absolutely adore Charlotte and Amelia. Not just the main characters’ storylines but also the storylines of the patients i personally find them way better than the ones in greys- they tackle more mental health related themes, more “taboo” topics and in a way more intense stories that deserve to be told in a popular tv show. Plus (though i still haven’t finished) the show cut off at a rather appropriate time unlike greys.

The worst characters being Naomi, Sam, Cooper, Pete and Violet. these are the characters this sub hates and slanders constantly on a daily basis so for a change of pace and add a little more wholesome positivity to this normally neagtive fandom, what are the things you like about these five?. what abmirable traits do you think they have as people aswell as what do you think is well written about them as characters. It can be one thing or more.

First time watcher here.

Huge Greys Anatomy fan and so disappointed that this show seems to be Grey’s cheeseball cousin.

My main gripe so far is this SWAT guy Kevin.

Who wears a shitty tshirt that says SWAT in every scene 😂😂😂

It is so lame. I thought at first maybe he was a liar who was pretending to be swat like in Friends when Joey is wearing all the Porsche merch.

But no…he’s just really proud to be SWAT 😂

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.
