She’s not a doctor, but she plays one on TV.
Ariana Madix‘s new scripted role is on St. Denis Medical, as a doctor who just can’t seem to shake her ex-boyfriend.
Paging Dr. Emerson:
The Vanderpump Rules alum’s debut is on Monday, December 1, as Dr. Emerson is introduced as Bruce’s (Josh Lawson) ex-girlfriend. The characters first cross paths after Bruce pages his former flame, who isn’t thrilled she was interrupted during a surgery.
Dr. Emerson points out she “left a woman on the table,” to which Bruce replies, “So did I. You. I just don’t think I gave us enough of a shot.” According to Dr. Emerson, she was the one who “broke up” with Bruce.
“Because I was emotionally unavailable — as a tactic. I pushed you away,” he claims. “I don’t want to get into it, but your car was shockingly dirty. It gave me the ick. But what do you say we give this crazy thing another shot? We can hire someone to clean your car!”
Dr. Emerson, however, isn’t interested.
“I am going to say this as nicely as possible. No,” she says. “It is over. I am seeing someone else.”
There’s a VPR superfan on St. Denis Medical:
Mekki Leeper is a man of TASTE. The actor/writer told Us Weekly, that he’s like us. “I have been so religiously watching Vanderpump Rules and The Valley the entire time it’s been airing.”
“It’s like a cornerstone,” he continued. Vanderpump Rules is “why I live in West Hollywood. It’s part of who I am.”
“So I was super normal to Ariana. I definitely wasn’t an annoying fan that she was hoping to not have to sit with. I was cool.”
