[edit] About
The Todd's greatest joy in life is sex. Although he hasn't slept with nearly the amount of women he brags about, he makes sex jokes and innuendos about sex or the ladies practically every time he speaks. He hits on all the ladies, over which Laverne and Carla get quite worked up. The Todd thinks that his womanizing problems come from his poor relationship with his mother. However, sometimes The Todd checks out the men around Sacred Heart. Once he admitted to being gay so that he can take advantage of Elliot and Carla, but it is later in that episode revealed that he is bi-sexual. The Todd appreciates "hot", regardless of gender.
The Todd enjoys giving and receiving hi-fives, putting them in second place behind sex. He will give any type of hi-five to anyone for any reason. He is very adamant about being the only person who gives out hi-fives. (My Full Moon) He got his love for hi-fives while attending med school at the Bahamas from his old professor. (My Soul on Fire, Part 1) Some of his hi-fives can hurt the weak, or those not expecting them, for he visits the gym very often to train his arms. They can also bring a dead patient back to life. His right arm has a tattoo of "DOC" on it, which he shows off with his sleeveless scrubs. The Todd also has a large "banana hammock" collection, and is never without one. He has a rule that anyone who stays at his place must "hammock up".
Todd also received a Four storey atomic wedgey from the Janitor in My Missed Perception after trying to get in a bath with him. This registered a 10 on Sacred Hearts pain chart.
[edit] Relationships
The person Todd gets along with best is Turk. When Turk's daughter was born, The Todd was among those waiting to congratulate him. They are both surgeons, and enjoy being athletic. Also on the surgery team is Dr. Wen, who recognizes Todd's skills as a surgeon because he has the ability to set his mind on one task.
The Todd has the same relationship with all the women of Sacred Heart. He wants them, and they find his jokes and innuendos annoying.
J.D. and The Todd never do too much together, except giving hi-fives, although J.D. used to dislike Todd because he always hung out with Turk, which made him jealous.
Todd and Dr. Kelso don't seem to understand each other, and the Janitor thinks Todd is an airhead. Ted and Todd sometimes team up to do various things around the hospital, such as duct taping J.D. to the ceiling.
At one point, he is having a "couples thing" with "the Hendersons", appearing to be in a sexual relationship with both of them. My Chief Concern

- The Todd has appeared in more episodes than any other supporting character.
- The Todd once pretended to be gay to attract girls, and later in the same episode remarked that "there's nothing wrong with that, or that, or that, or that", remarking first about a hot woman, then a guy with a bulging crotch, then a decidedly ugly women, and finally an old man, this prompting The Janitor to ask "what are you?", to which the Todd replied "I'm the Todd".
- In one episode The Todd revealed that he once did amateur porn, although he thought it was couples therapy.
- Molly Clock once helps The Todd realize that one of the reasons for his problems with women comes from his odd relationship with his mother (they made out once)
- The Todd can get confused and leave when everyone in a room stops moving and talking.
- The Todd can be distracted by mimed objects thrown in a specific direction.
- The Todd is so devoted to his sex jokes, that he will wait in hiding for an extended period of time until given the proper set up.

- The Todd once did a threesome and as he stated "not the cool kind" (possibly meaning two men and a woman or could also mean three men)
- The Todd can be easily tricked by yelling through a glass window to be heard as clear as day, then when the same person seconds later mimes the exact same thing to him he will think that the glass is to thick to hear them through

- Todd often cannot recognize his own last name (Quinlan). In several episodes, including the webisode Our Meeting with Turk and the Todd, people mention "Dr. Quinlan," and Turk has to remind Todd that they're talking about or to him
