Profile
Elliot is the wife and former fellow attending physician to series protagonist J.D. (Zach Braff). The boundaries between friendship and romance have often been crossed throughout the show's run. She is a Republican who suffers from multiple neuroses and cripplingly low self-esteem.
She is also close to Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes) and Christopher Turk (Donald Faison), the series' other chief characters. During the course of the show, she has had several romantic relationships. She gets engaged to fellow Sacred Heart doctor Keith Dudemeister (Travis Schuldt) in season 6, but breaks it off when she realizes that she does not truly love him.
In the season 8 episode "My Happy Place", she rekindles her relationship with J.D. and, in the season 8 finale, "sneak moves in" with him. In the final scene, a montage of J.D.'s hopes and desires shows his and Elliot's wedding, as well as them having a daughter. By the beginning of season 9, they are indeed married and expecting their first child together.
Family history
She is the daughter of Simon and Lily Reid (Lane Davies and Markie Post), and is of German descent. Her father is Chief of Medicine at St. Augustines, a private hospital in Greenwich, Connecticut.[1] She grew up privileged but love-starved; she once attributed her many neuroses to the way she was treated by her parents. Her mother, a cold, self-absorbed alcoholic, constantly pressures her about her love life and her appearance and helps feed her daughter's insecurity about sex and herself. Her mother's treatment has also resulted in her being unable to use proper terminology for sexual organs, instead using various euphemisms such as "bajingo" instead of "vagina" and "peepers" or "schwing-schwong" for "penis". Elliot also has problems with her father, as she is constantly attempting to get his attention and prove to him that she is a capable doctor. She eventually stands up to him in "My Fruit Cups" after he tries to push her into specializing in gynoecology. Subsequently, her parents cut off financial support, forcing her to fend for herself.
Elliot also has several brothers, all of whom are also doctors. Although none of her brothers have ever appeared on the show, there have been several references to Barry, who is described as flamboyantly homosexual. At one point in his life, Barry was a male exotic dancer for Japanese businessmen, and would often "come home with his pockets stuffed with yen."
