About
Elliot is the daughter of Simon and Lily Reid. Elliot grew up in a very privileged life in Greenwich, CT but her parents were never around to love her. She suggests she is of German descent in My Rite of Passage. She grew up on an orchard and was raised by her housemaid Consuela. She claims that she was named "Elliot" because her parents were expecting a boy. Elliot has four brothers who are all doctors. Known are Barry who is gay, and Bradley. She also has a Great Aunt Sally and a Great Uncle, whom J.D. has met. She has a cousin named Layla who is a "fatty-fatty-fatty". Her second year at Sacred Heart, Elliot refused to follow the specialty her father desired, and he cut her off financially. She has also shown Dr. Kelso that she refuses to follow typical female doctors who end up in family practice or as maternity doctors. Elliot is a proud Republican, and often receives grief about it from her co-workers.
At Sacred Heart Hospital, Elliot began as an intern and later became a resident. She served as Chief Resident with J.D., but was not forced to be called "Co-Chief" as he was. At the end of her fourth year at Sacred Heart, she briefly left to take on an endocrinology fellowship at North County University Medical Center, which lasted only five days. After a brief and miserable stint working at a free clinic, she returned to Sacred Heart and became a senior attending physician, but soon entered private practice. Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso are upset that she is in private practice, but she stands by her decision.
Elliot often tells long, seemingly pointless stories and has several quirks about her. For example, her voice gets really high pitched and squeaky when she gets upset, sometimes to the point when her words become gibberish. She also fantasizes about old men and cider houses. Elliot refused to say certain body organs or sex terms, and refers to them as "bajingos," "hoo hoos," "patootie" and "intercourse".
Elliot gives differing stories for her sexual experience. Sometimes she conveys herself to have little knowledge of sex while sometimes she talks about how many different men she has been with.
Character History
Elliot's future
After J.D.'s final shift at Sacred Heart, his possible future is shown across a banner as a figment of his imagination. On his banner, he can see also Elliot's future, where
- Elliot and J.D. are getting married.
- Elliot is pregnant.
- Elliot plays with her daughter while she and J.D. are celebrating Christmas with the Turk's and the Cox's. (My Finale)
Relationships
J.D.
J.D. is the love of Elliot's life, and they are currently dating. After meeting on their first day at Sacred Heart, they were around each other enough to get to know each other quickly. They nearly kissed early on in their friendship, but it took several months before they actually got together as a couple. (My Best Friend's Mistake) (My Bed Banter & Beyond) The relationship is very shortly lived, but they still harbor feelings for each other. (My Last Day) They later take a swing at being "sex buddies", but their feelings muddle that arrangement. (My Monster) When things start to get serious with Sean, Elliot learns from J.D. that he still loves her and they rekindle the flame. (Her Story II) However J.D. realizes that he only wanted what he couldn't have and ruins the relationship. (My Fault)
After taking some time to forgive J.D. their friendship grows strong again. However, due to the large amount of work required by their jobs they rarely have time for each other, even while being roommates. (My Day at the Races) J.D. once again starts to act on his renewed feelings for Elliot when she gets close to marrying Keith, resulting in a near kiss. (My Point of No Return) The kiss was averted, but they still have yet to have a serious talk about how things are going to be between them. (My Princess) After being best friends again for some time, J.D. and Elliot began dating again, when Dr. Kelso noted, that they do everything a couple does, except have Sex. They talk about their previous mistakes and finally come to the conclusion that it's actually a good idea to date again. (My Happy Place) J.D. professed to Elliot in the Bahamas that he loves her more than he loves Turk. (My Soul on Fire, Part 2)
Carla
Carla and Elliot are good friends, who connect strongly based on their gender. After a rocky start due to Elliot's seemingly rude attitude to Carla, Carla and Elliot soon become resources for each other in the male-dominated Sacred Heart. They often share advice with each, although Carla seems to give more to Elliot than she returns. Elliot is more independent in her career than in her personal life, and some decisions have left Carla angry. (My Changing Ways)
Turk
Elliot and Turk grew out of mutual friends into a full-blown friendship. Turk's relationships with J.D. and Carla meant that he was usually present when Elliot was conversing with J.D. or Carla. Turk and Elliot have never been romantic, but have shared secret handshakes, dances, and other traditions. (My Heavy Meddle) Their friendship had always been assumed due to their close ties to J.D. and Carla, but if they were at odds with another friend Elliot could count on Turk to be there. (My Coffee)
Dr. Cox
Dr. Cox and Elliot don't like each other as people, but respect each other as doctors. Dr. Cox was just as rude to Elliot as he was to J.D. when they first came to Sacred Heart, but her knowledge and ability has spoken better than her babbling can. (My First Day) (My Blind Date) Although he mocks her for simple mistakes and her blond hair, Dr. Cox will genuinely help if she needs it. (My Big Mouth) (My Moment of Un-Truth) Dr. Cox isn't one to hand out compliments, but he once told Elliot she was better than J.D., and stands up for her early career decisions by punching Dr. Kelso in the face. (My Ocardial Infarction) (My Dream Job) However, when Elliot decides to move to private practice, Dr. Cox declares that he has lost all respect for her. (My Coffee)
Janitor
Janitor's only weakness is Elliot, because she actually treats him like a person. Janitor never really pranks Elliot because he is too focused on J.D., but has always seemed to be infatuated with her. He calls her "Blonde Doctor" (possibly a reference to how he calls himself "Janitor") and at times seems to stand up for her. When Elliot has a makeover, Janitor bets Dr. Cox that they will be dating. (My Best Laid Plans) When Elliot learns of the bet, she pretends to date Janitor, but they never really enter a relationship. Janitor was invited by Elliot to her and Keith's wedding.
Dr. Kelso
Although everybody is hated by Dr. Kelso, Elliot seems to receive more of his wrath than anybody. As an intern and resident Elliot was terrified to make mistakes during rounds or with a patient because she didn't want to be humiliated or yelled at by Dr. Kelso. The two were never on a good foot with each other, but when Elliot became private practice she was literally ignored by Kelso until she confessed that she wouldn't have progressed in her career without the help of Sacred Heart and him. (My Friend with Money) (My No Good Reason)
Keith
Elliot and Keith were engaged, but she broke off the wedding. The two met when Keith was an intern at Sacred Heart, and soon become "sex buddies". (My Intern's Eyes) (My Buddy's Booty) The sex escalates into a full relationship and Keith eventually proposed. (My Cold Shower) The two are extremely happy, but when Elliot thinks about their relationship more, she realizes it is either too fast or not right and calls off the wedding, changes her mind, then reverses her decision again, leaving Keith emotionally shattered and furious. (My Own Worst Enemy) A year later, after many insults were yelled by Keith, Elliot apologizes to Keith for not taking time to understand how what she did really hurt him. (My Jerks)
Sean Kelly
Elliot and Sean were romantically involved, until J.D. got involved. She met Sean late in her first year at Sacred Heart and initiated the dating herself, but also ends the relationship due to her demanding job. (My Sacrificial Clam) They run into each other again two years later at Sacred Heart and soon begin dating again. (My Own American Girl) Although things seemed to be set between the two, Elliot slept with J.D. while Sean was away in New Zealand for six months. (His Story II) When he returns, she chooses Sean over J.D., but after some thought she lets Sean go for J.D. (My Fault) Currently, the two are at odds with each other. (My Best Friend's Wedding)
Romantic involvements
- See Category:Elliot's Romantic Partners for a list.
Besides J.D., Sean, Paul, Jake and Keith, Elliot has had very few other romantic involvements. She revealed to Carla that before Sacred Heart she had never had an orgasm. (My Balancing Act) But in a conflicting previous episode, she tells a story about how several guys posed for their high school yearbooks using her "orgasm face".
