Elliot Reid
Dr. Elliot Reid is a fictional character played by Sarah Chalke in the American sitcom Scrubs.
Profile
Elliot is a close friend of J.D. and fellow attending physician, although the boundaries between friendship and relationship have often been crossed. It was a running joke in the show that she and J.D. slept together at least once a year during each of the first three seasons, however this has seemingly ended in order to avoid cliché storylines. Her rich parents always provided everything for her throughout her life, which she accepted despite growing a slight hatred towards them. This caused her to feel somewhat nervous upon having to suddenly depend on herself while working at the hospital, and even more so when her parents cut her off financially in season 2.
Peculiarities
She has cold hands (which she attributes to bad circulation), doesn't like to be touched (implied to be because she is a WASP from Connecticut), votes Republican, speaks German and French (which Sarah Chalke does in real life), and is insecure about her eyebrows, her "camel" butt and her bangs. The masculine sounding name Elliot fits in with her upper class Northeastern American heritage, since there is a tradition among some such families of christening daughters with such family names. She also mentions in the pilot that her parents expected a male child.
According to J.D. and various patients, her bedside manner is too cold and machine-like. She served as Chief Resident during her third year of residency, with J.D. as Co-Chief Resident. At the conclusion of Season 4, it was announced that Elliot received an endocrinology fellowship at a different hospital, requiring her to leave Sacred Heart. However, this new fellowship only lasted five days and she managed to get a job back at Sacred Heart during Season 5. She has hangups about sex and relationships which are often attributed to her mother's bizarre adulterous affairs. She constantly uses the pseudo-curse "Frick!" whenever she is upset, and has even used modified versions such as "Double Frick!", "Frick on a Stick!" and "Frick on a Stick with a Brick!" on occasion, as well as having hangups regarding saying even the clinical names for reproductive body parts (i.e. referring to female genitalia as a "bajingo" and the penis as "peepers", "peep" or "schwing-schwong") and has trouble saying "sex" and instead refers to it as "intercourse". She is able to fit her entire fist in her mouth, a fact found to be highly interesting by the male staff of the hospital.
A running gag in season 5 is Elliot's sexual fantasy about owning a cider house and catching a Mexican apple thief, who then chases her to the tasting room whereby they make love so loud they can be heard all the way in the distillery.
Elliot has a strange yet peculiar intelligence in hip-hop slang and rap lyrics. She and Molly (Heather Graham) out-witted Turk in an instance of hip-hop slang instigated by J.D. as he misinterpreted 'low-lows' for 'ho-hos' referring to Dr Dre's 'Still D.R.E'.
