Q: Why is Christian so desperatly in love with Julia?

A: Forbidden fruit is the most desirable. Julia is the opposite of what he has been screwing around with. She is a responsible mother who doesn't go around whoring herself around. She seems overall nicer than all of his exes. she is a challenge for him. And also because she is the mother of his child. Christian, Sean & Julia all met when they started med school. It's a bond that cannot be broken and people often stay in love with someone they were pals with in their teen years or early 20.

SEASON 2:

Q: Who is Matt's father?

A: Matt was born to Julia and Sean, and it was always assumed that Sean was his father. Unbeknownst to Sean (and to the rest of the audience until that time), Julia and Christian had a one-night fling shortly before Julia and Sean got married, and Julia began to wonder if Christian might in fact be Matt's father. She stole hair from Christian's hairbrush and took it in, along with a razor of Matt's, to have the DNA tested. She found out that Christian was indeed Matt's biological father, but she kept the secret to herself. She only revealed it to Christian when she saw his grief over losing Wilbur, to reassure him that he still did have a son--in Matt.

Q: Who is Wilbur?

A: Wilbur is the baby who was born to Gina Russo. She told Christian she was pregnant with his baby, and he believed the baby was his until he was born (when it was obvious that Wilbur's father must have been black). Christian decided to act as though the baby was his anyway, and he helped to raise him until his true biological father showed up to claim him. The father was later killed and WIlbur was once again placed in Christian's care.

SEASON 3:

Q: Is Julia's mother dead?

A: It appears so during the episode "Sal Perri", but at the end of the episode we see Julia's mother fine and well. The reason for confusion is because we haven't seen her since.

Q: Who is "The Carver"?

A: The Carver is a person who thinks that 'beauty is a curse on the world', and so sets out to destroy beautiful people by slitting their mouths and raping them. To Find out who is "The Carver" watch the final episode in Season 3.

The Carver actually ends up being two people: Doctor Quentin Costa and Detective Kit McGraw. It is also revealed that they are fraternal twins.

SEASON 4:

Q: Is Christian gay, or bi-sexual?

A: The answer is not a 100% clear, but it is most likely a no. Christian felt confused with the love he held for Sean. And Christian never really loving anything before felt that he might be in love rather than just loving him like a brother. Christian finally realizes that Sean is the closest thing to him and loves him, but is not in love with him.

Q: I heard that Rosie O' Donnell's character Dawn Budge, is supposed to have a spin off. Is that true?

A: The answer is most likely a definite NO. That was just a small rumor, and do we really want to see Rosie on her own telivision show? I mean, don't we get enough of her from her blog?

A: Sean's life just kept going into a downward spiral. So he needed a change of senery and decided to go to California to be a less high class surgen then he was in Miami. Christian decided that he needed Sean in his life so he went along with him.
