S3E03 Right Here, Right Now

[crazychica]

I liked the epi but Bailey is right, this place is like a telenovela.

1.) Tramp drama (Bailey wins sfm for that comment). When Morgan was outside shouting at Addie I loled a lot. Idk if I was supposed to take that seriously, but I didn't. That woman cannot act. And yes Addison you did have an emotional affair, but ngl that I loved him comment just about had me throwing crap at my TV. DO NOT BUY IT!
2.) Baby daddy drama. Oh look Pete is the daddy. YES NO PADDISON!
3.) Teenager drama. Well at least he got to kiss the girl right before he collapsed :p
4.) Cooper/Charlotte drama. Orly she is moving in with him?
5.) Best friend drama. Oh wait they are friends again.
6.) Ethical/Moral kidney drama. Once again another PrP after school special, enough.

Also, "I'd rather get AIDS than die". Whut?

I think Addie bb time should be in every epi of PrP from now on. So effing cute.

[Teelke]

YAY for Addison + bb!
Bailey kicked ass in this episode, i wish she would stay longer
Naomi & Addison need to get over this crap, its reallllly boring
give Cooper + Charlotte a proper storyline
Violet + Pete i really dont care about anymore

I liked the song they played at the prom

[AddisonLove]

I really enjoyed this episode. Thank goodness for Bailey and some humor!

It was a little hard for me to watch the beating up on Addison, but I guess it needed to be said. Bailey was hilarious though with Addison. Morgan was just annoying. She reminded me of a psycho killer in horror movies who just pops up. Thank goodness, she is gone.

Addie holding baby Lucas was so freaking cute. Damn you Shonda! Addison should be the one with a baby.

Sam and Bailey were hilarious. I wasn't really into the medical case much though.

I am glad Pete is father now I don't have to hear him whine about it for several episodes. I feel bad for Sheldon though. They treated him like shit.

I loved the ending of the episode the most. I loved the Addie/Bailey talk. I loved Cooper running in and kissing Charlotte. I am so happy Addie/Naomi made up!

[addiekatefan]

Okay so I was pretty much done typing and then Safari closed and I lost it all. UGH!

I recognize that Prp is a telenovela but I still love it. :p

Okay, so I loved all the hating on Addison in this episode. I mean, yeah she's my favourite character but she made some baaad choices at the end of season two and she needed some bitchslapping to get her head back on straight. Hopefully now she can.. dare I say, not cheat or be the other woman for at least this season. :p Is this asking too much?

Cooper and Pete's case was cute and I enjoyed it, and Cooper carrying Charlotte out of the hospital was also adorable (and I don't even like that ship too much).

I'm also glad Addison and Naomi made up. I do get Addie in this situation though, when I am frustrated or upset I tend to take it out on others, but really it was going on for too long and Addison was being quote annoying with Naomi. I'm just glad there's no more friend drama.

I am so glad we got the paternity test done and figured out because frig was that being dragged on. Anyways YES YES YES @ it being Pete's! Bye bye Paddison and hello Violet/Pete!


Also, "I'd rather get AIDS than die". Whut?


Okay I know this may sound crazy but I understood her when she said that. I mean the woman has kids, and she just wants to do anything she can to stay alive and be with them. If there is a chance that she can live and only get HIV and not AIDS, then I say take it. Although it is all kinds of crazy that the hospital consented to this, I feel that in this situation it is morally okay to do the transplant. That's just my opinion though. ;)

Overall I loved the episode. It was light and funny and entertaining, which is what I like. Bailey owns too.

No the sister with HIV who donated the kidney had kids, not her. I was just mocking the line.

Okay I fail lol. But I kinda still stay by my opinion. :p And yeah the line was kinda overdramatic lol I get you.

[Stormira]

Haven't watched it yet, but my two cents on the Baby Drama:
If it was Sheldon's, it would have given his character a story to stay in the show, which is understandable since Naomi now works downstairs and it would all tie in. Which is why I thought it could have been his if they wanted the character to stay. But if they're thinking of having Naomi come back to OWG eventually, not having Sheldon be the dad would obviously work out because they wouldn't have to focus on everything going on downstairs because of him and it also helps keep everything in the family of OWG without spreading out to much and making the show all convuluted.
So having the dad be Pete works out in keeping the story upstairs. Also helps to eliminate Paddison (thank God). Not to mention that Tim Daly is significantly better looking then Brian Benben, who I might also mention has a stupid last name.
[From re-reading this, I've realised that I apparently don't like Sheldon, lol.]

[saci]

Loved the episode, but bascially because of Bailey.

I loved how Bailey kicked Addison's ass, I mean seriously what is/was she thinking? And she fell in love with Noah? Seriously?
But Morgan was kinda annoying me as well. How often was she going to come back?

I wanted the baby to be Sheldon's. Basically because I don't want Violet and Pete to get together. They just don't fit. They're friends, not more.

Addison holding baby Lucas was sooooo cute. I loved that scene. Probably my favourite one. :D

And thank god Naomi and Addison are back to normal. Addison was really annoying me until I saw the last scene and I kind of got it. I'm happy they're them again :p

Charlotte/Cooper were cute and the medical cases were pretty interesting this time as well. Although this boy's mum suddenly having the flu and then the boy breaking down right after he kissed his girlfriend was a little over the top, but this is a TV show after all.

And what is it with all the Paddison bitching? I mean there was bascially no Paddison since like episode 7 of season 1 and still everyone's talking about them. I mean I get that you have an opinion and it's your right to share it here, but I just had to get that out now.

For me it is as simple as this, I do not like them therefore I shall say as much. If you like them that's your opinion.

I have this irrational dislike for Pete because a) Tim can't act and b.) Pete is the most boring character on this show IMO. Tim just does not seem like the man for the leading lady, especially when he looks like he could be Kate's great uncle or something. I can't really speak on behalf of anyone else but majority of people on the boards do not like them anymore. And the writers read the boards so.

The sooner they put the final nail in that long sunken ship the better, and since Pete is the father I think we may be in the process of hammering it in.

Plus I like Violet/Pete. I find the two of them more tolerable when they are around each other. JMO.

[McMuffin]

Quick summary before I watch Grey's!
Overall I LOVED the episode (hence why I watched it twice! XD)

i like:
1. Addison + bb = <3
2. Pete's the dad. Yay! Paddison chances? zilch. Plus Sheldon will pretty much leave now. And Vi can be with Pete, and I love them together because on their own they suck.
3. Cooper/Charlotte scenes! They all ruled.
4. Bailey.
5. Bailey making that tramp comment.
6. Addison recognising her mistakes... even if i hated the scenes themselves because it was a dumb way to write them.
7. I liked lolling at Morgan's bad acting.
8. Addison looked gorgeous in every scene, i like when she looks gorgeous.
9. Bailey/Charlotte scenes, they RULE.

i didn't like:
1. morgan showing up, so much crap.
2. The Naomi/Addison drama. BORING.
3. The fact that Coop/Char still don't have a good SL, really, give them something awesome!
4. Pete. He just annoyed me a lot.

I want:
-Kevin to return
-Naomi/Addison drama to be over. They are BFFs and doctors, there are hundreds of practices in LA/California. get over it.
-Violet drama to fade away a bit.
-Happier Addison. Despite loving the angst & hating on Addison for her being stupid, I miss her being happy.
-more Charlotte/Cooper!

:D

I get that and I understand that you're all just sharing your opinions and I accept that, I mean what else can I do. It's just that everyone who dislikes them has made that pretty clear already and still everyone seems to be talking a/b them even though they're pretty much over since S1. I dunno, I was just wondering why.

[Sabs]

^ fear of Shonda, I suppose ;)

'I'm putting my foot down. My foot is down.' Feel the need to toss in another '10 points for guessing the source of this', lol.

Didn't care too much for it all in all, dunnow. It's not even the story lines, as much as the crappy way they're written. Can't figure out if it's bad acting, or just really hard to make something out of it.

Coop/Charlotte repetition is getting annoying; come up with something new already. PP should stop the ethical angle yesterday, they just suck at it. Ask Amy how it's done or stop lecturing us. Thought the boys case was bit predictable and not as cute as it could have been.

Still, baby cuteness..!, liked Addie getting it told, Bailey and Charlotte getting along was nice although Char would normally never do this :sick: and also liked the last scenes best. Gonna miss Sheldon a bit.


liked: 8. Addison looked gorgeous in every scene, i like when she looks gorgeous.

Lols, yeah, and that =)


ETA 3.) Teenager drama. Well at least he got to kiss the girl right before he collapsed :p

O! Yes! That! Personal frustration, but since it's the I-don't-know-how-many-eth time they've pulled this one I'm just gonna vent it for once: I've now spend four years with very limited access outside the house, and yes I used to just do it quite a bit, and no, even the times that was for a boy it never seemed to match up to the aftermath. And Í don't end up nearly dying in hospitals. Just saying. *shuts self up again*.

[Grace]

Mmh so what do I think about this episode...?

I think it was okay, but not that good.

Bailey being there was great and I like her being honest with Addie but all of that "do the right thing"drama is so annoying. I get that Addie has a bad conscience but in the end she's not the one whos married and what Noah feels for her or doesn't feel for her is mostly his business... it's just so exaggerated and to top it of Addie even calls it love. come on, that wasn't love. don't buy that either.

Charlotte and Cooper are so cute, I love them but yes they need to get a storyline. Seriously I was so confused when Charlotte came with that just sex comment. deja vu hello!

Once again Violet storyline couldn't keep its promise. Was the same with her pregnancy that I thought her character finally will get exciting and then...not! And now I thought dealing with the aftermath of the attack would be interessting...not!
And as for Pete and Violet, in epi1 I started to see them as a couple and now that's gone again. Also Pete is so not believeable in the father role. dunno why it just doesn't work for me plus it was pretty boring...

I understand that whole Paddison talk, because in S1 they were like THE couple destined to be together in the end. somehow though they lost it and made Pete kind of a diffenent character a little... dunno

Addie looked so gorgous and her with the baby is THE cuteness so yay for that!

Medical cases were boring. They were so obvious from the beginning on...

Liked the music :)

[Carrie1982]

I absolutely loved this episode.

- I didn't realize how much I missed Bailey and Addison's friendship until we got it back. Can we keep Bailey? And Kate should not be wearing heels when she is in a scene with Chandra. I was laughing so hard at the first scene they were in because of the height difference.

- Shirtless Taye Diggs! I'm glad it seems like Sam is finally getting a decent storyline. I've thought for a long time that Taye wasn't being used and I'm glad he is getting something interesting.

- I'm glad Pete is the father of Violet's baby. As much as I hate him with Addison and when he has his own cases, I actually like him with Violet.

- Addison and the baby was really cute except I was going crazy with the blanket that kept disappearing.

- Very happy that Addison and Naomi made up. I love their friendship and the tension between the two of them made last week's episode suck.

- Morgan's appearance felt way too forced. Josh Hopkins is on an ABC show, they could have worked it out for him to come back for one freaking day and wrap up the loose ends.

[princessbean]

the blanket disappearing drove me nuts too!! The continuity in the addie/lucas scene(s) was horrible...but i know it's more difficult when working with the babies, time wise and all. It really doesn't matter though because that was too cute, she should just be lucas' nanny at O.W.G when she doesn't have a patient. Oh and is it me or did they just throw in one of the lucas babies as morgan's kid????!!! maybe i'm crazy.....:)

[Mien84]

Liked Bailey and Sam with Bailey. The cases were somehow boring and a little too much in the moral ethical direction of last season. I'm over it.
Liked Bailey and Addie and that she was the first to finally not see Addison as the poor heartbroken woman. Kinda liked Morgans scenes though the whole Noah crap is kinda forced especially when Noah is not part of the scenes :p
Why is Nae still wandering the halls of Oceanside Wellness? That scene were she is holding Lucas felt so completely wrong to me.
Still hate Pete and was really hoping for Sheldon to be the father. Violet and Pete annoy the hell out of me.
Also liked the kinda friendship talk between Charlotte and Bailey ;)
Oh and Addie holding Lucas totally won :D
Altogether I feel like the show is stuck and not moving forward. If it wouldn't be for Kate I would have stopped watching already I guess *shrugs*

- Shirtless Taye Diggs! I'm glad it seems like Sam is finally getting a decent storyline. I've thought for a long time that Taye wasn't being used and I'm glad he is getting something interesting.

Taye Diggs shirtless was gold. And ditto on the blanket thing. It really annoyed me for some reason.

I've always liked Charlotte, ever since 1x01. I don't know whether it's KaDee or what, but I've just always liked her. So yeah, she really needs a more in-depth story, not just about her work. She needs more relatinshippy stuff with all of OWG. I mean, how good was that scene with her and Violet last week with the martinis?! I don't think she's considered to be a main main character just yet, which is unfortunate, so I really hope we get to see more of her character this season.

[saci]

Yep, that's true. And shirtless Taye was just rawwwr :D

[Karla]

I loved this episode so much!

Bailey!! So much epicness. I love that she was the one who Addie opened up to about Noah, maybe only because Morgan turned up, but still it needed to happen. Their friendship is so brilliant, great to see them on screen together again.

I'm so happy Addie & Naomi are friends again. Addie & baby Lucas were so cute <3

Bailey & Sam have great chemistry too. Really interesting finding out he used to be a heart surgeon. I guess we may find out why he gave it up in the future... maybe if Bailey visits again (cause it was so awesome!), as Bailey did say it wasn't Addie's place to tell her the reason.

I totally ship Cooper & Charlotte. So cute! Charlotte & Bailey were fab together in their scenes. LOL!

Glad we finally know who the father is... I sort of wanted it to be Sheldon cause I actually like him & I thought that's how they could explain where the baby is sometimes in the future.

Last point, I really miss Dell. Can't wait until he's back.

[CatherineXL]

Honestly speaking I found the first 3 episodes quite boring, and I totoally didn't get it when Morgan suddenly showed up out of the building yelling at Addison-what is the writers' logic that Addison should be blamed here?? After all it's NOAH cheating on Morgan in their marriage!

And I seriously don't want to see drama related to Noah anymore-it's unwanted and annoying. I feel that the writers used whole three episodes to deal with the consequences from Season 2 and haven't really moved on. And I simply hate to see Addison be guilty, helpless and vulnerable all at the same time. Where is that independent, smart and confident character we all fall in love with?

Of course Addison should be blamed, she KNEW Noah was married, and as soon as she found out she should have stopped all of the flirting (because by the time she found out that is all they had been doing) and walked away, but nope instead she continued to "encourage" him by saying things to him like, "it's not just you", & kissing him back. At that point she became a knowing accomplice in his cheating. Now if she hadn't have known that would be a different story.

And of course she should be guilty (see above for reasons why). Bailey's verbal smack down helped her to realise that even though "nothing happened" between the two of them, that her emotional affair with him is probably just as bad, or even worse than a physical one. And Addison realising this shows serious growth in her character, just the fact that she can admit she was wrong shows serious growth, and now she can begin to move on. Why do you think she stopped talking to Nae? Because she didn't want Nae to judge her. See even on some level Addie knew she was wrong too. Thank goodness Bailey helped open her eyes to the whole situation. Hopefully now that Addison has worked through all of her man drama she can go back to being that "independent, smart and confident character". (Have to say that in episode 301 Addison was pretty much all of those things IMO).

ETA: To quote Bailey: "You want a gold star because you did the right thing. You're acting like a tramp, you don't get a gold star!". Nuff said.

[CatherineXL]

^I agree that Addison should be blamed, I think the issue here is that we don't know how much Morgan knew about their "affair" and I don't think it's "right" for Morgan to blame on Addison about her loss in marriage--after all it's a two-way thing between her husband and Addison. She made it sound like Addison destroyed her family all by herself.

And I think Addison should know more than anyone else how an "emotional affair" hurt considering the one she experienced between her ex-husband and his...mistress. Sometimes people do have different standards to different people and the lowest standard for themselves, but Addison feeling hurt and broken is already the bitter fruit for herself. I don't think she would be that blind to see these clear facts (that she is being Meredith Grey).

The reason why I don't like these episodes is that the writers made the audience chew this again and again in three episodes till it's tasteless. And I really hate that sometimes the writers make characters do unreasonable things just to give the show more dramastics and conflicts.

[Sabs]

^ don't think it was that much spread out, really. First epi didn't deal with any of this, just saving Vi & bb, so them taking two more to sort with Noah, Morgan, Nae, Coop, Char, Pete, Vi, paternity, bb,... didn't seem so much of a strech to me. They just aired too many balloons by the end of last season to sort them all out within an epi. The whole switched embryo's thing is yet to come. It's kinda Shonda and one of the things I do like about her writing. Though I'll readily admitt Grey's has a more subtle way of doing it.

As for Addie, I agree with Amanda: the last two epi's made it sort of clear that she does know and is blaming herself on some level, and is trying to convince herself of the opposite because of that. It's why she couldn't face Naomi. Agree that she hasn't done it all by herself and even that Noah has more blame in it, but she's crossed quite a few lines herself as well. We don't get to see the Noah half of it for obvious reasons, so it might feel a little unbalanced, but I don't find it weird for Morgan too fall out against Addison.

And I really hate that sometimes the writers make characters do unreasonable things just to give the show more dramastics and conflicts.

True. But that's been an issues since Shonda made Noah enter the stage =)

Agree here. Yes, Noah shares part of the blame but Addison isn't blameless in this situation here either. Takes two to tango.

And as for the 3-episode thing, how unrealistic would it be if they just acted as if it never happened & completely threw to the side her feelings about this guy she supposedly fell in love with? As it stands it's still kind of hard to buy, given that she would still probably cross paths with him from time to time but hey, some people have other shows to film.
Anyway, I'm surprisingly satisfied with how they're wrapping this situation up.
