Nip/Tuck’s Most Over-the-Top Moments

3. Ava Moore – Life coach Ava Moore (Famke Janssen) dominated Season Two, and for good reason. She started counseling Matt McNamara, and quickly realized he was most motivated by sexual favors. This caused some conflict with her son, who was Matt’s age, and jealous of both of them. Bisexuality and an Oedipal Complex? Yeah, that’s about right. Meanwhile, she spent her time trying to hook up with Christian, who we just learned was Matt’s biological father. When he finally decided that the best way to driver her away from Matt was with his penis, Christian quickly realized that Ava was actually Avery – a transsexual. The Mona Lisa of transsexuals, according to her ex-husband and surgeon, Alec Baldwin. Even better, she popped up years later as a dream figure who introduced the concept of parallel realities into Nip/Tuck. There is not a show on TV that wouldn’t be improved with the addition of Ava Moore to the cast.
