TV's 9 Hottest Lesbian/Bi Doctors

With all the lesbian and bisexual medical personnel popping up on television around the world including Melissa George joining Grey's Anatomy as a bisexual intern next month we thought we'd count down some of the hottest lesbian or bi medical doctors on TV.

This isn't an exhaustive list, and it doesn't include lesbian psychiatrists, nurses, or paramedics, it's just our take. Feel free to offer your opinion in the comments (and we know you will!).

1. Dr. Remy Hadley, aka "Thirteen" (Olivia Wilde) — House M.D. (Fox)

She might be drugged out, on death's door, and doing her best to live up to the "bisexuality = promiscuity" stereotype, but Thirteen is still sex on a stethoscope.

If you don't know why, you clearly haven't seen this.

2. Dr. Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) — Grey's Anatomy (ABC)

Although the writers are dangerously close to ruining the story line about her burgeoning romantic relationship with Dr. Hahn, surgical resident Callie is still one of the hottest probably-queer doctors around.

Why? Duh, it's Sara Ramirez! 'Nuff said.

3. Dr. Macarena "Maca" Wilson Fernández (Patricia Vico) — Hospital Central (Spain)

This pediatrician married her wife, Esther, in the first lesbian wedding on Spanish TV; had a child with her, and then a sperm donor; divorced her and had a relationship with psychiatrist Vero; and now she's the head of the ER on this popular primetime Spanish TV series.

Keeping up with her love life is exhausting — and we love every minute of it.

4. Dr. Regina Barnes (Paula Marshall) — Out of Practice (CBS)

Regina's acerbic wit, life's-too-short attitude, and winning way with women made this short-lived comedy about a family of doctors stand out.

Regina (Paula Marshall), second from left

Paula Marshall is hot. Funny is hot. Smart is hot. Still not convinced? Watch this compilation of scenes between Regina and her mother (played by Stockard Channing).

5. Dr. Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith) — Grey's Anatomy (ABC)

A power player at Seattle Grace who scares everyone who works for her, Erica has always been an acquired taste.

Recently, Erica's romantic relationship with Dr. Callie Torres has shown us her softer side, and we love it. But even hotter? On the job, Dr. Hahn is still as tough as ever.

6. Dr. Charlotte Beaumont (Tammy Macintosh) — All Saints (Australia)

On the Australian drama series, Dr. Beaumont was dragged into a sexual harassment suit after she refused an advance from a female co-worker. Despite her obvious good looks and charm, she was able to use the truth to get out of it.

We forgive her for a drunken night of hooking up with a dude, but we're still trying to work past the idea she got knocked up.

7. Dr. Maggie Doyle (Jorja Fox) — ER (NBC)

Before she joined CSI, Jorja Fox showed up as the new lesbian intern in the emergency room — in 1996, before lesbian doctors were all the rage on American TV.

Eventually becoming a doctor on staff, Doyle's sexuality never became more than minor factor on the show, but her unabashed outness — and feminism — was hot. Too bad she only lasted a few seasons.

8. Dr. Marina Ranieri del Colle (Alessia Barela) — Terapia d’urgenza (Italy)

The beautiful lesbian pediatrician certainly made an impression on Italy's version of Hospital Central.

Barela, left, with Elisabetta Rocchetti on Terapia d'urgenza

Marina converted her own Esther (Elisabetta Rocchetti), kissing her passionately in an elevator, in front of a male nurse, in Italy's first ever lesbian TV kiss — making that guy's day, and ours. The show was promptly canceled. (Just a coincidence, I'm sure.)

9. Dr. Liz Cruz (Roma Maffia) — Nip/Tick (FX)

As an anesthesiologist, Dr. Cruz puts people to sleep. As a hot lesbian in the office, she puts herself in between Julia and Olivia, causing some trouble.

We deemed her hotter after Season Five, when she dumped nit-picky Poppy (Alanis Morisette) — seriously, Liz, you don't need any work! — and got past the "I'm a lesbian with a partner, let's reproduce" phase.

So that's our list! As you might have noticed, it's fairly "white" (besides Sara Ramirez, obviously) — we tried to find more prominent lesbian TV doctors of color, but came up empty. If you know of any, please leave them in the comments!

Dr Hahn

Erica Hahn's character is what is great about Greys, the wittiest one liners!

The storyline with Callie is not going well, but I pray they keep Erica gay!  

Majikalx's picture

Dr. Hahn

Callie is just nervous.  It's the first time for both of them.  Erica can probably just hide the fact that she's scared better.  I don't think it would be very realistic if they both went into a relationship with eachother after being with men their whole adult life and not be a little scared.  Callie will come around.  She just needs to relax a little.

Why no Dr. Kerry Weaver? :(

Dr. Kim Legaspi

Hello, How could you forget Elizabeth Mitchell's character on ER?

 


fiercedesea's picture

Where is she?!

Seriously?! I got to the end of the list and was like where's Elizabeth Mitchell? She could even be considered to a doctor besides on ER, since she's a fertility doctor on Lost.



But I do love that Thirteen, Callie, and Erica are all on that list. :D

Kim Legaspi

Should definitely be in there.  I know that most people even if they liked Kerry Weaver didn't think of her as hot, so okay, but to omit Legaspi?  Really??

How gay does Weaver look in that pic with Maggie Doyle?  To think it took her years after that to come out...

 Um Hello,m Laura Innes

 Um Hello,m Laura Innes anyone?

or how about Legaspi? (Elizabeth Mitchell)

Why not Psychiatrists?

They're MDs, too, because you have to include Elisabeth Mitchell as Dr. Kim Legaspi!  The hottest of them all!

Oh Maca!!!

I have to admit I start drooling when I see Patricia Vico on screen, she has that kind of effect on me. :p

future doctor, current lesbian

as someone studying to become a doctor, i only wish that the tendency for hot lesbians to become to doctors were representative of real life!

if i don't run into some lesbians soon, i'm pegging the next ortho chick or cardiothoracic pro as a big homo ;)

Carolina Cerezuela

Carolina Cerezuela is the hottest lesbian doctor EVER!!!! She's actually on Spain's Hospital Central. But good job picking Dr. Maca, she's def FIERCE!

I say you should ALL go to you tube and type in Maca Vero Hospital Central. It will make you wanna move to Spain just so you could watch this show!! 

Dearlylovedaimee's picture

I'm more of an Maca y Esther fan but...

I have to admit Dr. Veronica Sole could be my psychiatrist any day! Carolina is simply beautiful. I'm sad because I heard she might be leaving to pursue other career opportunities.

Last time I checked...Sara Ramirez

is a woman of color...as opposed to say...Lily White.  Although I agree there are not enough women of color playing lesbians...let alone doctors...let alone lesbian doctors!  And YEAH...what about Elizabeth Mitchell and Laura Innes!?!
daysleeper's picture

eh

I havent caught much of All Saints in the last few years but from what I can tell Dr. Charlotte Beaumont is no longer a lesbian, or bi. She hooked up with a few guys and then the writers in all their wisdom, decided that it would be better to just make her completely asexual. Y'know. It's easier than answering any questions.

Australian soap operas are pretty dodgy.

Dr. Charlotte Beaumont

Is still a still a lesbian/Bisexual, the writers of All Saints just havent incorporated her love life into the story line this year.

carolina cerezuela nooooooo

Nooo please not, she is only a fake barbie without a brain
and also a bad actress, these women are real, callie, maca beautifull, olivia wilde 13, Hahn yesssss, not fake dolls.
maca and esther that is real a couple, thank God they will be together this season,
M and E all the way.
angiezar's picture

What Nooooooooooooo?????

I think that you have some problems in you eye sight....or maybe your eyes are made of cartoon.  That you don't know how to see real beauty from fake......  Have you see in CC that is being change for thank you doctor????  If you want to see fake you better check out Esther in HC Italy that is fake....  You don't understand her beauty....in any side you look at her.

I should say that even Fatima is very much fake in my eyes.......she has a rabbit teeth.....

Oh, if you said so that CC is a bad actress...  We will see if you can portray more good than her as Vero... and that I don't think sooooooooooo........... 

Now a days beauty and brain they go together.  They work hand in hand....... Then if you don't have that then that is your problem.... Come on just accept that CC is real beauty and that her beauty you cannot resists.........

 

justard's picture

Yes real thing is......

Ah yeah....maybe fake barbie and without brain still better than real ugly monster and garbage brain...also fake actress.Did you agree with me???

Dr. Regina Barnes

So so glad you mentioned  Regina! She was so hillarious. I just finnished watching a few episodes on youtube. I miss that show!

Maca!

I was so happy to see Maca included on your list, she should be at the top of any hot lesbian doctors list. I love Hospital Central and Maca and Esther. Now you just need to do a list of hot lesbian/bi nurses and add Esther. Heh.

<3

ER-docs

I so loved

Maggie Doyle on ER.

That was the beginning of my slight Jorja Fox obsession not even the creepy Sidle/Grissom mess could destroy

sunflower's picture

Carolina Cerezuela

It's says tv's hottest lesbian/bi doctors, so she should also be on the list! Sure her acting skills aren't top notch, but the same can be said for a lot of actors on that show. I like her character and i think Veronica Sole is a hottie!

stridingcloud's picture

OH yes! she should

OH yes! she should definitely be on that list! right after Maca

Mickie Hendrie!

She was on Holby City, one of many british hospital dramas. She was a nurse on the show but then she left on the back of her girlfriend's motorbike to study to become a doctor!

xxilbaxx's picture

...

I remember her!! I wish she'd stayed and donna had left instead...

Also on Casualty that paramedic - Nina i think her name was? I remember thinking she was hot:

ClaireUK's picture

Oh Mickie you're so fine...

I really loved Mickie! For a time Kelly Adams was the reason i watched Holby!

They could've done a lot more with her character though, but she was awesome while she lasted!! 

aussie_girl's picture

I always wondered

where Mickie went, the last time i watched Holby City and she was in it, was when she kissed that lady bartender and the next time i watched she was gone.

THIRTEEN... aka olivia wilde...

i'm probably delusional, but i really want Thirteen to hook up with Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) in House! that would be really interesting...

wagner710's picture

I totally agree!  I also

I totally agree!  I also agree with the Thirteen/Cameron hook up...that would be hot!

Dr. Marina

Marina should be at number 2 ( 8 ? come on ) and where's VERO from hospital central
shirobara's picture

Number eight for Marina

Number eight for Marina Ranieri is simply NOT ENOUGH.

C'mon, really...? I know most of you have missed the attitude - and the voice! -, but she deserves much better!

Fatima

Hey Dani, I'm totally in love with Fatima Baeza as well. Guh. There is just something about her that gets me, every single time. 

Dearlylovedaimee's picture

Fatima is so crush-worthy

You know, Fatima is not as beautiful as a lot of the other women on Hospital Central but she just has something about her. When I first started watching the show, my initial response was to notice Patricia because she was so attractive. But then Fatima just stole my heart and I haven't seen it since.

I don't speak a word of Spanish, but whenever she does an interview she lights up the screen with that smile and you can just tell she is a really great person. As a matter a fact, all three girls seem very nice. But Esther seems the most realistic. Not too many models/doctors running around the hospitals.

Now I'd like to nominate the Esther from TdU as well. I had a feeling she was going to turn into a likable person and I was so right. Have you seen episode 8 where she pins Marina up against the wall and plants a kiss on her? Holy crap. I spent the beginning of last week with that clip on re-play. 

chosenone76's picture

I'm in total agreement

When I first started watching HC, I was also immediately drawn to Patricia, who is very beautiful in a more traditional way, but somehow over time, it was Fatima that really won my heart. It might sound cheesy, but I think she has a very beautiful spirit, and that comes through when she's in character. There is just something so beautiful about her. She's definitely my pick out of all the women on HC. Just my opinion, though.
justard's picture

Hot???

Hot nurse???.......yes i feel scare and dizzy everytime when i see her picture.
angiezar's picture

Nurses!

What this ugly duckling doing here????????  Hellooooooooo Nurses not allowed......  For Doctors only.............

carmen_tm's picture

Not Enough Lesbian/Bi Womyn of Color....

www.myspace.com/lunakiss7

So that's our list! As you might have noticed, it's fairly "white" (besides Sara Ramirez, obviously) — we tried to find more prominent lesbian TV doctors of color, but came up empty. If you know of any, please leave them in the comments

I say go beyond the lesb/bi characters. Dr. Bailey's hot.  So is Callie. Just b/c some actress plays gay doesn't mean I got to find her attractive.

veganpeanutbutter's picture

Oh, Olivia Wilde.

You make my heart melt..
gema190's picture
