will the boys ever get along again?
This has been said before in the sub but I have to say it again, Dr Jeremiah Sacani is the best thing to happen to this show and I think he may be the best add on character I’ve ever seen🤷🏽♂️
S7: E1 - comedic genius. I laughed out loud.
So I made it to the park diviya’s ex is filing for full custody but I’m really confused why him and his mom are so obsessed with sashi? Also his mom said she was the only grandkid but that doesn’t make any sense bc back in Vegas the whole reason diviya and Rafa broke up and then had a fling was because he had a wife and son ????
So why is the grandma (rafs mom) saying she’s the only grandkid?
Maybe it is just me, but every time they mention the Hamptons and/or I see the view I think of Revenge 😭 it’s so hard not to think about it! First time watching Royal Pains and I am such a fan of Hank! His ethics and morals as a doctor is amazing! I like Evan too, typically little brother lol.
does anyone know what Boris does for a living? he does so many random things with so many different people, but I know he owns a bank that his family passed down to him. but what else does he do because that can’t be it
I just started the show and am on season 2. Why does Evan always include his middle initial when introducing himself? Why can’t he just say “Evan Lawson” versus “Evan R. Lawson”?
What the hell happened to the writing at the end of S4 Feels like it was supposed to be the last season and they were gearing for the finale.. but theirs 2 more..
Did anyone else find it super creepy when Hank, Evan and the patient that can’t discern faces were looking in the mirror? Gave me the heebie jeebies!
I’m re watching for the like 7th time and it just always amazes me (and irritates me) his bag has EXACTLY what he needs for each unexpected emergency case that comes up. Including the specialized fluids. I work at a vet clinic and I want one of those bags
Was anyone else bugged by the Hypochondriac turns into Tucker's medically informed protector turns into "Let me work at HankMed" turns into "I grew out of that, now I'm single and out at a protest and gone forever!" Character Arc? Like WHY?
I would have loved to keep Libby as a minor character (or major character), but why just throw away her entire interest in biology and medicine?? WHY?
It seemed to serve no purpose. I feel like they derailed her entire character just because they couldn't use Ezra Miller anymore, but Libby was her own character. Hell, they could have killed Tucker off on Safari with his dad. Boom, problem solved.
I feel like Libby and Jeremiah would have been awesome together as coworkers. She would have been Evan's irritating little coworker sister (honestly, I didn't care for his actyal half-sister storyline). She would have idolized Divya, while back-handed complimenting for being Only a PA. There was just So Much Potential in her character!
So I just rewatched the entire series, and I noticed this: a big part of Season 5 was Evan's rivalry with Blythe Ballard(who always got on my nerves anyway) and the election for the village council. Evan wins the election at the end of the season, but decides to take a bit of a break to go travel with Paige. And... that's it. No mention of Evan being a councilman AT ALL in any of the later seasons. No offhand mentions of having to go to a council meeting. Season 6 just jumped right into the Emma storyline.
Almost through S5 and Hank looks different - puffier and possibly missing eyebrows…?
I always liked their friendship. They should’ve got together.
A friend told met Mark F. (So? Feurstein?) during a cross-country flight from NYC to LA many years ago. The show was just getting started; he and his wife had their children with them; the younger child was a baby.
My friend watched in amazement as the actor displayed diaper-changing skills worthy of Hank. He put he put the baby in one hand and used the other to change the diaper.
She talked to him for a while and his warmth and humility impressed her.
Flash Forward:
She rekindled ed their “friendship” many years later in the LA airport. He was with his kids, who were teenagers. She recounted their first meeting, and the kids laughed. Then she went on her way thinker by her initial impression had been proven correct.
It just makes me laugh so freaking hard every time Boris happens to be around in a medical emergency, Hank is in his Superman mode and everyone is panicking and Boris is just in the back with his blank stare watching to see what happens. 😂 the Dimitri in bed episode is what just triggered this thought but I realized that Boris always acts the same way when he’s witnessing Hank in action and it’s hilarious to me
Can’t remember if he dies and gives Hank and Evan house and money ?
God he’s annoying I use to watch the show … but now I’m watching fr fr and he’s annoying
Hey guys quick question. I just finished season 4 and was curious why nobody really seemed to care what happened to Boris ? I feel like they cared more about less important people then him.
I have to say, I am really getting tired of how many times Hank says, "Get my bag please". It's like 5 times an episode.
Edit: Also how Hank is constantly shaking his head no while saying yes.
Does anyone else feel this way? I cringed through it because it's such a real problem (I'm experiencing this now) and they had such a rich people way of dealing with it. They blow through adoption (they make the right choice in the end, but the process itself is so expensive), easily start IVF (tens of thousands of dollars) and treat it as courageous that Paige never gives up. I love Paige and do think she has a lot of courage, but it feels like they don't acknowledge the fact that it's money, not will, helping them power through this.
It's just so hard watching her cry about not being a mom while she has millions to throw at the problem. Also I just don't need to discuss Evan's sperm this much.
Hey guys!
I don't watch the show but my mom has binged it and is halfway through season 5. She mentioned that Hank and Borris went off their own ways, etc. Divia had her baby, that's kinda where she's at.
Regardless She came to me complaining about how it is no longer the "happy, helping people show" that she desired when she first started watching the series. I had told her that typically there will always be a season filled to the brim with drama and that the next season should be better.
Should she continue to watch the show? You can give me spoilers, I am not watching it but I'm simply trying to help decide for my mom if she should still watch it. If there are more major character deaths or further drug addiction please let me know and that will help me give her an idea of what's to come in the seasons ahead.
Thanks!
I blame Jill for Jack's death. She was the one who said, "We can't go home until we catch something", knowing that he was a diabetic and that he had skipped his treatment. She of all people should have recognized that he needed to go back sooner. And she should have taken over and gotten him back.
Is Sacani some sort of weird translation?
Every patient that Hank treats is literally on their last legs every time. Oh if I don't play this one game my career is literally over and there is no way to recover ever. If I don't teach my flying lessons for 1 day my business is going to fail immediate and with no recourse. If I don't fucking enter this eating competition imma be homeless tomorrow. Like guys wtf is going on? How could you be living in the Hamptons in these 10 million dollar houses and not have like 10 dollars stashed away for a rainy day?
Did this mf'er just bring a guy back to life who got shot through the heart?
Also how does he always know where the next patient is going to be? He's like "Imma check up on this patient randomly and for no apparent reason. Oh my he's going into respiratory anemia, I have to do literal brain surgery right now on this park bench. There is no time!" Like Hank are you an ER doctor, a geneticist, a neurosurgeon, an anesthesiologist, a physician, a fucking detective?
I've also noticed that everyone in HankMED says "you're going to be all right" to every patient and they are right every time. I know for a fact in real life a medical professional is taught not to say "you're going to be all right" because you can't guarantee anything. They say stuff like "I will do everything I can to try and make you ok."
I don’t understand why Evan is being such a dick to Hank. It was hard for Hank to violate the Collin’s privacy in order to tell his brother about what’s going on. Evan seemed to have a much easier time forgiving his fiancée vs his brother even though they both lied.
I know not everyone is a fan of musical episodes, but I love them every time, and this one is no different. I loved it. My favorite was the song with Paige/Divya/Newberg. So what do you think? Love or Hate?
