Married To Medicine - General Discussion

[NessMess]

Why was the lettering on Dr. Greg's medical jacket done in comic sans 60 point?

[ZettaK]

We have to wait until next season to see if Gregory, and Lateasha (who doesn't seem too eager), or Quad (who won't participate if Greg does) will return.

As a note to all of the attendees of the Georgerton event.

The period was called "The Regency."  

[dogy35]

Please don't misunderstand my point, but FINALLY (?  or did I miss it previously??) a character (Dr. Eugene, Toya's hubby) on one of Bravo's mainly Black casts stated the obvious - prior to the 1900's, most people of the American/European, wealthy "upper classes" were not Black, who tended to be servants if not slaves.  I always am amazed when a person on one of these Bravo shows brags about being a "Southern Belle" - really?? Is this done in an effort to overcome the past devastation of slavery by adopting the persona of a Scarlet O'Hara type??

[ZettaK]

It was nice of Toya to finally say something positive about Eugene because of their anniversary. He is the best of the husbands, by far. 

ETA: She is overly critical of him, and Dr. Jackie didn't buy that her comments are supposedly cute bantering. She said she always has to check to see if Eugene is ok (after a nasty comment).

I could not agree more with this.  I did love that ball episode where he told Toya that "Queen Charlotte was NOT Black."  I also loved how NONE of them knew the period and kept saying "Queen Victoria" or "Queen Elizabeth."  Folks, think American Revolution.  The King in Bridgerton is the wild and crazy (mostly crazy) George III.  

[HorrrGoodnight]

Part 1 of the reunion was interesting. Heavenly's hair looked amazing and Toya's dress definitely created its own environment. Tea struggles to keep up with the shady banter. I think maybe she and Greg should bow out for a season if she really wants a baby. 

[swankie]

I can't believe Quad had the nerve to ask Lateasha why she wouldn't let her stay at her wedding shower.  Who wants their fiancee's ex wife at their wedding shower or any other event leading up to their big day?  Especially since she didn't even know her.  This whole group kills me expecting Lateasha and Greg to be gracious but Quad can make malicious comments about their marriage and nobody calls her to task.  And Toya seems to have it in for Lateasha more than Quad does.  Why is she going in on Lateasha?

[Chatty Cake]

I think Lateasha went in on the cast via social media this season. Now it seems her only friend is Contessa although Simone made that silly display towards her. 
Tea looked awful in her outfit and it was much too small for her boobs. Unfortunately, I think Quad was right when she told Lateasha to get used to Greg speaking to her like crap. 
Does Damon really have a child out of wedlock? 

[ZettaK]

Yes, Lataesha attacked the cast on social media. The women also said at the reunion she was standoffish during filming.

I think this has a different meaning among Black Americans, especially southerners. My maternal side is from the south, and when they call someone a southern belle, it has to do more with the way a woman carries herself and her capabilities. Southern belles are women who exude taste and refinement. They are active in their community and show up for others. They are polite but not pushovers, they know how to entertain, and they are liked by everyone. They are  southern in speech and attitude, but not country. They are educated. They are seen. I don't think any Black person thinks of Scarlet, hoop skirts and mint juleps on the veranda when they think belle.

As for your point around most blacks being servants or slaves, while this was true, many southern and southwestern communities of the early 1900s had thriving black economic districts with members whose wealth derived from their entrepreneurism. The women in these communities were the blueprint for the black southern belle.

I agree, but Eugene was trying to get it through the thick skull of Toya, Lady of the Birkin shrine.

My SO was married before, and that relationship produced a child. When we got married several years after that relationship ended, we were intent that the little one be included in the wedding party. My SO had primary custody, but had a decent relationship with the ex, so she was invited to both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. She didn't stick around for the reception but came at the end of the party to grab the little one because we were leaving on our honeymoon the next morning. It's not impossible to be gracious to an ex, especially if you are comfortable and confident in your relationship and if the two exs are not at war. The problem with Tea is that she is taking her lead from Greg. If he was able to talk to Quad without anger or rancor, then she would follow suit. But she is young and insecure, and it comes across clearly in her interactions with Quad. At its core, the issue really is Greg. If he wasn't so focused on being right, on winning every argument and on trying to have people forget that the nadir of his breakup with Quad was his public acknowledgement of having taken a woman that was not his wife to a hotel room, he might be able to have a reasonable relationship, even with unreasonable Quad. But since he wants to be loud and wrong his young wife is following his lead and looking crazy on national tv doing so.

I can't believe it's time for the reunion already! It seems a little fast. Quad seems to be way up on her high horse again. I'm sure that will provide some entertainment.

No, it's not landing the way it used to.  Her entire schtick seems old and tired.

I'll be skipping.  Just don't like this people - except Mimi and her husband.  Right now they seem real, but it's their first season.  And please, get rid of the people that are no longer "married to medicine."  Phaedra didn't belong there to begin with and Quad is a "divorced from medicine."   But then again, they've stretched the meaning of the word "housewife" already, and even the word "charm".

This show was so good the first few years. And, yes, I really don’t like any of them anymore except maybe Eugene

[Stats Queen]

Greg is such a little misogynist abusive turd. I don’t like how Quad interacted with Tea “I gave you my leftovers or scraps”  

She left Greg before Tea was in the picture. Why is she directing her anger toward a Greg on Sweet Tea? 
If she was totally secure in herself she would have been encouraging Tea to escape that abusive jerk just like she did.

Yes, I will agree with you there - I still like Eugene.  And in many ways, I still like Curtis (I know he had that fall from grace season but he seems to have bounced back) but they don't make up for everyone else.

[StevieRocks]

Oh, Lord~Here comes Diabetes "Daddy" 🤮 acting sanctimonious when he hypocritically did the same thing he accused Greg of. I'm no fan of Greg, but I was proud of Cecil and Eugene showing their character as authentic gentlemen by calling out Damon's hypocrisy, complicity, and classlessness. Sitting there having the nerve to be outraged about something whilst married to that big old roach Hellishly who is calling someone a pedophile and trying to harm the person's medical practice. Smh. Those two nasty lunks definitely deserve each other. You can't preach to someone about behavior when your wife's behavior is ALWAYS disgusting. Don't forget to give Hellishly a lecture since she is sitting on tv throwing around the "n" word. Lord have mercy.

Quad still fights like she was that little girl with big dreams. Frankly, what we've seen with her and Simone is that it takes a LOT for her to work through issues and get over stuff (hence talking about Napa two years after the fact). I will give it to her that she tried last year to be graceful but like Heavenly, when pushed she reverts to her comfort zone which is "go at their neck" in a fight. It was interesting to me that Mimi called out that Quad is grieving and that may be impacting her responses, especially since she's tried to keep the story around that grief off of the show.

I think she has on several occasions voiced that she does not like how Greg talks to Tea. However, Tea takes those comments as an attack on Greg and their relationship and not as a warning to her or concern about her. Tea is going to learn the hard way that a 56-year-old psychiatrist who has as little self-awareness as Greg, is probably not going to change at all.

Heavenly was mean but had a point telling Contessa to put her titties away. I was tired of seeing everyone’s overflowing boobs.

She said the quiet part aloud about Contessa's boobs spread out horribly, but Heavenly never should have said that. Then she has the nerve to admonish Tea about being disparaging to Quad by calling her an alcoholic.

[albarino]

1.  Heavenly and Damon are terrible, terrible, terrible human beings.  

2.  Quad with two DUIs and a DV charge (I believe) has alcohol issues.  I don't know if she is an alcoholic or not but alcohol is not her friend.  She has no current connection to "medicine" and I wish she were gone.

3.  Jackie has been pretty quiet this season but she chose to have Heavenly accompany her to the White House and remains Heavenly's friend.  Not a good look.

4.  I don't care if Tea gets pregnant.

[Chatty Cake]

How come Gregory was put in a room alone and King was with the others when King was the one who charged Greg? Or was it because Gregory called the police and it wasn’t really necessary?
