From hospital intern J.D.'s (Zach Braff) love of appletini drinks to his hetero-romance with best-buddy Turk (Donald Faison), Scrubs is filled with plenty of queer-ish content. But despite Lawrence 's gay-friendly past, such as creating openly gay character Carter Haywood on Spin City, Scrubs doesn't have a recurring gay character. The closest the show has come is sexually ambiguous scalpel jockey Todd “The Todd” Quinlan (Robert Maschio).

In that fifth-season episode, “My Lunch,” Nurse Espinosa (Judy Reyes) and Dr. Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke) try to help Todd come out of the closet. Tiring of his sexual double entendres, the two ladies confront him. Lawrence explains, “The women feel that once he is comfortable with his sexuality, that he will be a kinder, better person.” Eventually, Todd admits to them that he is gay.

Many gay fans believed, just as Dr. Reid and Nurse Espinosa did, that once Todd came to terms with his sexuality, his vulgarities toward women would stop. Having him use those misconceptions to get girls offended some in the gay community.
