who is the nip/tuck carver?







oh my gosh after tonight’s new episode of nip/tuck there are only three episodes left before the end of this third crazy season…15 episodes in all – gosh that sure went fast – it all wraps up in a big two episode explosive finale on dec 20th – when we are all supposed to find out who the hell the carver is?!? there is even a myspace page for the carver – check it out over at myspace.com/thecarver – i have a few theories – i’m gonna go over each of the main characters (in order of the pics below) – it has to be one of them…but i guess it could still be a secondary player (like ava!)…anything & everything is possible on nip/tuck



dr. quentin costa – ok this guy is such a complete asshole and creep – when he first appeared this season i will admit i was mildly attracted to him – kinda in the mode of james spader – but as we have gotten to know him a bit more – what a prick! julia is so dumb for fucking him – however i doubt he is the carver since it is just too easy to say he is the one – if quentin ends up being the baddie – i will be seriously disappointed – it just can’t be this obvious!



dr. christian troy – oh i love dr. troy and he was already a victim of the carver so i doubt he is the one – but you never know – i’m sure the writers could pull something out of their asses and make him have some dual personality bullshit going on but to have the main character be the carver would kill the show…it can’t be him – i would cry if it was – he is so hot! he can’t be slashing people!



dr. sean mcnamara – if i had to pick one of the main doctors to be the carver – i would say i could see sean being the carver over dr. troy – he does seems to have some unresolved anger issues but again making him the carver would kinda kill the show – dr. mcnamara & dr. troy are nip/tuck – it just wouldn’t be the same show without either one of them!



julia mcnamara – i used to think that julia could indeed be the carver – but this season has revealed what an idiot she is – she isn’t the smartest lady on the block – and messing around with quentin is a huge mistake – i just don’t think that julia could pull this off – so i am removing her from the suspect list!



kimber henry – oh i adore ms. kimber – and right now she is being held hostage by the carver so she is for sure NOT the carver – i hope she can escape alive – she has already been slashed and was forced to write dr. troy a goodbye letter – and he believes it – i hope he can rescue her and they live happily ever after…doubtful but let’s hope!



matt mcnamara – as much as i lust for the actor (john hensley) who plays matt – i think his character has just gone way down hill this season – enough of this angry teenager bullshit – it’s tired and boring and this whole skinhead/turning into a weird racist is dumb – they should just ship him off to college & ditch this character – but i would miss seeing his sexy face – gosh he is too adorable!



dr. liz cruz – ahhhhhh – last but not least – we have dr. cruz – i am actually going to place my money on her – i know this might seem way outlandish (and maybe i am far off base) BUT as much as i love her character – she would be fairly easy to dispense as a character and she is the only on on this list with a last name that begins with C…’c is for carver – that’s good enough for me…’ – and making her the crazy carver would be a big twist and i think they could explain it without making it seem too out there…does anyone else agree with me?








so there we have it – damn i love this show! plus lucky us it will be returning for a fourth season – thank heavens – after that who knows…but at least one more year with the whole gang on nip/tuck if you are not watching this show i feel bad for you – since it so rocks! ok enough ‘gushing’ over this show – popbytes over & out! xxoo



PS oh my gosh my friend over at tabloid whore is so on the same page as me – check out what she has to say on the carver!

  • Tabloid Whore!

    I agree with you about Liz all the way…and BRILLIANT catch on the whole “C” connection–It’s a glaringly obvious clue, but one that I didn’t catch! I Love it! Fabulous deductions my friend!

    Has anybody ruled out OJ?

  • kelly

    how can liz be the carver? the carver rapes his victims? i read somewhere that the carver will be someone from season 1

  • Nip/Tuck Fanatic!

    Love the writeup!! I have some thoughts as well on my blog: http://fxniptuck.blogspot.com
    There are a lot of people right there with you in thinking Liz is the Carver!

  • neb

    Meryl is the carver……….

  • willam

    the tranny comes back too. Cherry gets herself a little nip/tuck.

  • Brandy

    I think that the carver is Quentin or Matt Bc it would be too obvious for anyone else.

  • dslash

    What about Valerie Cruz? She hates McNamara Troy and especially Dr. Troy who screwed her and then ended up firing her.

  • Cynthia

    Liz is the Carver. The carver has to be someone with medical knowledge, knowledge of anesthesia, and someone who could have obtained a sample of Christian’s sperm in order to place it at the sceen of the murder. Remember that Christain gave sperm to Liz so that she could become pregnant.

  • Lmarie

    I have to say by examining the picture we can eliminate the females, that is definetly the arm of a man and it looks as if the build belongs to Quentin. But I think he is on cohoots with the detective who has mysteriously vanished after being a “victim.”

  • bford82

    i believe it is matt cause he is christians kid so he would have the same dna as christian and he was ticked off for not being in the wedding

  • melissa

    i never thought of liz as the carver and she could be it but what about that ex girlfriend of christians who came back this season?

  • Chris R

    I’VE BEEN WATCHING SINCE EPS 1 SEASON 1 AND I CAN SPILL OUT EVERY EPISODE , AND THEY SAY IT’S NOT A STRANGER, AND OBVIOUSLY CONNECTED TO A DOCTOR, SO I FIRMLY BELIEVE ITS MERRYL BOBOBLIT….

  • kat

    what about merrill????

  • Jerm

    Ok…I’m startin to think about Liz, but if you all really want the clues, go to the carver’s myspace site…There are subliminal messages all over the vids…Just turn your monitor upside-down and pause at the right time to get a small glimpse…Go here if u want proof…http://img455.imageshack.us/my.php?image=carver0ib.swf

  • DeanO

    fxnetworks.com has a poll on their main page. They only list three charcters: Christian, Kimber, Liz

  • gg

    The whole “c” clue is whack–Quentin Costa’s last name begins with a “C” too!

  • jojo

    i like the idea of merril but what bout the ex-girlfrend…the aids victom…shes a very angry person, to everyone

  • Holly

    I really think that the carver is either Quentin, Ariel, or one of Dr. Troy’s ex lovers.

  • sunny

    I HAVE READ ALL YOUR COMMENTS AND I CANNOT BELIEVE NO ONE HAS GUESSED AVA! COME ON PEOPLE! SHE LEFT HER DEAD SON TO ROT AND SHE HAS GENDER ISSUES, DON’T FORGET WE ACTUALLY DIDN’T SEE HER LEAVE ON THE PLANE. AVA HAS TO BE CARRYING SOME HUGE GRUDGES WITH THE UNIVERSE RIGHT NOW!

  • Larissa

    like ive said a million and one times just because kimber got kidnapped doesnt mean she isnt the carver she couldve faked her own kidnapping to throw everyone off so they wouldnt think its her….

  • JAMIE

    I THINK IT’S MERRILL…LIZ IS NOT THAT WACKY…..

  • TX_libra

    What about Julias mother? I believe she should be a suspect at least.

  • Kris

    It’s Gina if you listen to the new video on the mycarver space, even though the voice is sounds male the diction and spacing is Gina especially when she says “10 steps ahead of you”. She’s told Christian that on several occasions. And the “your God” comment. She’s atheist remember. And then under the books the carver likes it says “Wally Lamb”. Isn’t that the name of the lamb that Wilbur had.

  • Lola Inches Away

    I fucking love this show. I remember the first episode and at the end of it my jaw dropped and all I could say was “Fucking Wow!”
    On that note I am thinking could Christian be the carver my beloved Dr. Troy? He is kind and he can be very sadistic with a lot of his relationship I know that when he arrested he thought it would be smart to call the news reporter to let “The Carver” know someone else was taking credit for his work. And as we all know Sean is his partner in crime no matter what. What if after Sean feeling guilty that he really didn’t trust Christian went and Carved up Kit just to get Christian off? And maybe the next season is all about how they deal with this shared secret?

  • Bruce

    Well as far as the raping goes. Wouldnt it be feesable in a movie like this that the Carver could be using a Strap On. Well just a thought. I think its Dr. Cruz or Shawn….A lot to look at with those two…..

  • tangirlred

    Its julias mom!!!!!
    the clues are in the video (upside down)!!!

  • Rodney

    i think im set on quentin

  • Dave

    I’m pulling for ir being Liz too!
    Last night I researched on line the drug used by The Carver and it is used by Anesthesiologists to allow them to insert tracheotomy tubes into patients throats.
    I have stated on other boards that Liz makes the most sense for the following reasons.
    A: Anesthesiologists are MD’s and normally they do a surgical rotation, so it is highly likely for Liz to have surgical skills.
    B: There were only 3 people aware that Rhea wasn’t a Carver victim. The person who is the Carver was in the room and sedated her for the surgery.
    C: Rhea was paralyzed, but awake during the surgery.
    D: Liz used the same drug she uses as The Carver So Rhea would feel the pain of the surgery. She was arlready sedated with it BEFORE Sean ever said that the cuts didn’t look like the Carver’s work.

  • sampsonsniff

    the carver is shown with out his mask in the 2 season
    it’s in episode 7
    if you play the video for this season and episode on the fx website you can see him for a split second it shows his face but i still can’t really tell who it is because he’s looking down a little but i think its Quentin but if anyone else knows what i’m talking about who the hell is that

  • vicky

    Ok, I know there is huge debate over this and even though I try not to watch the show because up until that I loved the guy who used to play Cole on Charmed, I will say this, the Carver is either AVA (the man woman thing) or her husband that I think only appeared once on the show. Thats my guess anyway and the only ones I could belive.

  • Silvia

    What about Sofia Lopes from Season 1? Have you guys seen the preview of the Naomi Watts Episode of season 2, it shows the carver unmasked and the carver’s manicured hand grabing the knife.??????

  • rodrigo

    and Bobolit????

  • Kelly

    I think the carver is that dorky looking plastic surgeon from last season that did that surgery on that dog and killed it.
