When Married to Medicine premiered some 5 years back right after an episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta, I watched just because it was on. What caught my attention was the gay lingo that these ladies were throwing around left and right. The cast of Married to Medicine was more animated, more entertaining, and more interesting than any housewife. These were women who were educated, well-off, and authentically shady. There was no production here as seen on your other housewife-esque reality shows. The cast of Married to Medicine went way back and the underlying issues were proof of that.
Some of the women are doctors and the others are married to doctors, creating an interesting dynamic. Now in it's fifth season, the women of Married to Medicine have been so messy that their friendships seem to go in and out without resolving the deeper issues, just like real friendships. What makes this show entertaining is that all of the women on this show bring something to the table. Each one is equipped with their own one-liners and signature style of shade. There are many stars of this show.
The show was created by and stars Mariah Huq (pictured), who was made a recurring character two seasons ago for reasons that have never been made crystal clear. Last season was heralded as the return of the self-proclaimed "Queen Bee" of the group but again Mariah was not seen on the opening sequence, even though she appeared just as regular as the other women and was the center of multiple storylines. Mariah has some sort of issue with the production company that seems to be ongoing.
This season, Lisa Nicole Cloud departs the show after the gossip about her marriage seemed to be too much. She's a smart woman to put her family first because her marriage seemed to be an ongoing storyline for the show with no end in sight. Dr. Jackie Walters, Dr. Simone Whitfield, Dr. Heavenly Kimes, Toya Bush-Harris, and Quad Webb-Lunceford will also be returning for another season to dig up old wounds and manufacture drama once again.
Last season, saw Toya and her husband work through financial struggles, Simone lost her father, and Dr. Jackie struggled in her marriage, eventually attending a couples trip on her own. Dr. Heavenly was anything but and threw more shade than all of the other women combined at every one of the other women. She held no punches. Quad was put on blast for not wanting to have a baby, while practicing being maternal taking care of her live-in nephew. Quad can also be seen on TV One's upcoming talk show Sister Circle Live premiering this fall.
