TV: Dr. Naomi Bennett and Dr. Gabriel Fife

Dr. Naomi Bennett (played by Audra MacDonald) meets Dr. Gabriel Fife (played by Michael Patrick Thornton) by bumping heads over a procedure.  Naomi is an ob/gyn and Gabriel is a genetic specialist and the two disagree over a couple of patients. Soon they aren't bumping heads, but lips. There are some ups and downs, especially when Naomi has some issues with her job and her daughter.  That doesn't stop her from running after something that was going right.


This couple no longer on Private Practice, on ABC, as the two moved to New York at the end of Season Four.

TV: Dr. Lanie Parish and Javier Esposito

Dr. Lanie Parish (played by Tamala Jones) is in a hot and heavy relationship with cop Javier Esposito (played by Jon Huertas).  Lanie can see the tension between her friend Kate Beckett and Kate's best selling author charge, Richard Castle, and hopes she can influence Kate into action...by example. She's probably so happy with her own relationship that she needs to see her friend happy as well. But this is TV land, and happiness doesn't keep an audience so you'll need to stay tuned. You can see this couple on Castle shown on ABC.

Stephanie Layne , a journalist (played by Kellee Stewart), went with her best friend and college roommate, PJ, to a restaurant. PJ introduced Stephanie to a waiter Kenny Moritorri (played by Michael Bunin). Unfortunately for all of them, poor PJ included, Kenny and Stephanie did not get along.

It isn't like Stephanie couldn't do without Kenny's ill manners. She is a successful self -help author. But she traded snide remarks with Kenny, now an owner of a sports memorabilia store. Until one fateful night they got together without cutting each other down. They have been together ever since, working out their differences and sharing their very different lives.

TV: Dr. Eve Russell and Julian Crane

Call girl and jazz singer, Eve Russell nee Johnson (played by Tracey Ross) and Julian Crane (played by Ben Masters) fell for each other very quickly when they first met. They conceived a child, but did not stay together. Later, Eve turned her life around becoming a doctor, getting married, and having two more children. Eve and Julian crossed paths again. They became engaged after she divorced her husband. Things were rough for them, and considering the two lived in Harmony, rough included a lot.

Harmony is the hometown of Passions, a soap opera that aired from 1999 to 2008. The two actors played their roles for the full run of the show.

My Comments: I originally posted this under the heading "Watch" because from my searches on the Internet, I'd determined that they were a couple. As a result of more recent searches, I cannot find information that confirms the two are dating.

To see my reasoning, please look at the comments with this post. And to try to squelch more misunderstandings, I have left the links to Tracey Ross and Ben Masters, as well as added those of Tracee Ellis Ross even though I do not do that with TV posts. My hope is that people will read the links.

Ben Masters, 64 year old actor from Passions
Tracee Ellis Ross, 39 year old actress from Girlfriends and daughter of Diana Ross
