Nip/Tuck

The official FX Nip/Tuck site has been revamped for the upcoming second half of the fifth season. There are new wallpapers and banners available:





You can also find MQ promotional shots from 5.15 Ronnie Chase and 5.16 Gene Shelly at SpoilerTV here. If you want to remain spoiler-free, do not click the link!

Sorry for the spam. ;)

( Cut for spoilers, of course. )

Meep!

View at your own risk. ;)

* Bizzy - Christian and Liz's mother
* Bonding - Sean bonds with Raj
* Do I Make the Cut - Find out what Christian thinks his destiny is (there's a big spoiler in there)
* Lips Returns - the woman who had her lips replaced isn't happy about her portrayal on Hearts 'n' Scalpels
* More Plastic Surgery - Kimber wants surgery for baby Jenna (same clip that's been in commercials)
* Shelly Consultation - Christian, Sean, and Raj consult with new patients
* Skerrit Consultation - Mr. Skerrit wants a special surgery

According to EW's Ausiello, it looks like *both* Katee Sackhoff and Rose McGowan are going to play Dr. Theodora "Teddy" Lowe, a potential love interest for Sean. If I understand what he's saying, the episodes filmed with Katee will air as is for the second half of S5, but for S6 in 2010, she will mysteriously morph into Rose McGowan, much like a soap opera recasting.


Question: A while back you reported that Rose McGowan was replacing Katee Sackhoff as a guest star on Nip/Tuck. But there are clips from the new season that show Katee on the show. What's the scoop? Is Rose still replacing her? -- Tara

Ausiello: Yes, but it's complicated. You see, Katee originated the role of anesthesiologist Teddy Rowe in the latter part of Nip/Tuck's 5th season -- which got a very late start in production due to the writers strike. (The remaining eight episodes of season 5 will begin airing on Jan. 6.) When season 6 began production, Katee was no longer available, so e.p. Ryan Murphy hired Rose to assume the role. Actually, that wasn't so complicated after all.

FX has some behind the scenes clips up on YouTube. They're not very spoilery, but if you want to remain completely spoiler-free, don't watch them! ;)

"Nip/Tuck returns"
"Guest Stars" (interestingly, this one has Katee Sackhoff in it, not Rose McGowan)
"Meet Raj"
"Hookups and More Hookups"
"Still the Same"
The "Flashing Lights" promo

Also, SpoilerTV has a few clips up here. They're short and a bit more spoilery than the ones above. The first one is Matt talking to Sean about homework, the second is Christian and Liz, and the third is Sean meeting Raj for the first time.

There are two teaser videos for season 6 up on FX's site! "Scar" and "Karma."

Read it here.

This is just . . . bizarre. ( Snipped for spoilers. )

Per Ryan Murphy, FX will be running two new Nip/Tuck promos during the first week of September during the premiere week of The Shield.

The spots showcase clips from the season we just shot and finished editing, which premieres in January. The clips (teasingly) tell you what happened to Sean after Colleen Rose stabbed him, Christian's future, and a sneak peak at many of our great upcoming envelope-pushing patients.

The wait is over: next week, you will all get a glimpse of the new season of Nip/Tuck. The marketing song of the season, by the way, is "Flashing Lights" by Mr. K. West himself. I love the glamour and menace and intrigue of the new teaser spots, and look forward to your thoughts.

Poor Sean in a casket...

XXXOOO

FX nips "Tuck" after one more season

"Nip/Tuck" will come to an end after the plastic surgery drama's sixth season wraps in early 2011, cable channel FX said Tuesday.

The network said serialized dramas, such as "Nip/Tuck," have a much different storytelling model than nonserialized shows such as "Law & Order" or "CSI."

"If you tried to do 150 episodes of 'The Sopranos,' you would begin to diminish the quality of those shows," FX president/GM John Landgraf said during the network's presentation at the Television Critics Assn. press tour in Beverly Hills.

"The David Chases ('Sopranos') and Shawn Ryans ('The Shield'), they're taking on social commentary and grand sweeping questions. If we want to go after that brass ring, we have to accept they have limited shelf life."

FX has ordered 19 additional episodes beyond the current 22-episode season that will mark final season. The show will end its run with a total of 100 episodes in early 2011, with creator/executive producer Ryan Murphy signed on through the last episode.

"Nip/Tuck" has already aired 14 episodes of its current fifth season; the remaining eight are set to premiere in January.

Jessalyn Gilsig (the dearly departed Gina) will be returning as Claire's biological mother for at least five episodes next season on Heroes. Yay! It's my dream that she confronts Nathan and says, "Hey, asshole." ;)

FX Networks president/general manager John Landgraf said he believed the channel had several more years of "Rescue Me" and "Nip/Tuck" in its future. (But does Ryan?)

"We do feel some pressure to replace 'The Shield,' but we have at least three years to replace 'Rescue Me' and 'Nip/Tuck,'" he said.

On the upcoming sixth season of "Nip/Tuck," Katee Sackhoff ("Battlestar Galactica") will play Dr. Theodora "Teddy" Lowe, a new doctor who challenges Sean (Dylan Walsh). She will appear in four episodes.

Also set to appear in the FX drama is Morgan Fairchild, who will play a movie star in one episode.

"Ronnie Chase"
Ronnie is a tattooed rocker in his late 20s who was wearing dollar-sized spacers in his earlobes. Since he's been recently kicked out of a band, he comes to McNamara/Troy to get his earlobes back to normal in order to get a day job.

"Theodora (aka Teddy)"
28-35. She is a new anesthesiologist at McNamara/Troy. Extremely sexy, dark (think Angelina Jolie), a risk taker. She will be Sean's (Dylan Walsh) new relationship and will bring out his wild side.
