Line 6:
Some other characters include Jackie's [[Gentleman Snarker]] English friend Dr. O'Hara; Gloria Akalitus, Jackie's mostly no-nonsense boss, Dr. "Coop" Cooper, a parody of the traditional super cool heroic young doctor who ''always'' seeks attention; Jackie's [[Naive Newcomer]] protege, Zoe; Eddie, the hospital pharmacist who was once her [[Hopeless Suitor]] drug supplier and [[Friends with Benefits|friend]] but is currently playing a more neutral role in her life; and Sam a nurse who was once a drug addict but doesn't know about Jackie's true nature.

{{tropelist}}
* [[The Ace]]: Kelly in Season 3. A [[Chick Magnet]], a very good nurse even to the point where Akalitus compliments him, athletic, goes jogging [[Shirtless Scene|shirtless.]] {{spoiler|Later becomes a [[Broken Ace]] when its revealed he takes painkillers}}.
* [[All Abusers Are Male]]: Averted, one patient is a man whose girlfriend managed to crack his skull out of anger. He hit her back in defense but she only suffered some bruises.
Line 20:
* [[Expy]]: Zoey is an expy of Alice Chantrey from ''[[Casualty]]''.
* [[A Friend in Need]]: O'Hara exemplifies this. Even though in later seasons, she has more than enough reason to avoid Jackie because of her unpredictable behavior as an addict.
* [[Friendly Rival]]: Coop considered he was one with O'Hara as she's the only other doctor on the floor. It's made the plot point of a
* [[Friends with Benefits]]: In
* [[Gentleman Snarker]]: O'Hara is a rare female example.
* [[Has Two Mommies]]: Coop.
* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: Eddie, different from the usual in that they're having sex throughout but he wants an emotional relationship.
* [[Hospital Hottie]]: Subverted. Of course, O'Hara and Cooper are attractive (doctors) but the nurse's all wear practical shoes, have their hair short/tied up and do not wear make-up, like how real nurses would do. This actually shows the difference in work between the nurse's (who work long hours on their feet) and doctors.
** Invoked when Cooper is
* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]
* [[It's Not You, It's Me]]: Inverted. At the end of
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: And how.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Inverted, with a Protagonist who does questionable things. Executive producer Liz Brixius even used the name Houdini to describe her. Understandable as Jackie is the main character, but ''every'' season ends with her getting off
** The tables are turned in the recent season when Kevin discovers about Jackie's affair and her drug use and sues for child custody.
* [[Karmic Jackpot]]: Arguably Jackie. She saves lives, is considered a good person by most of her co-workers, and as a result is able to hide her secrets almost flawlessly.
Line 38:
* [[Naive Newcomer]]: Zoey, and to a lesser extent Coop.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Are you seriously going to threaten someone who's friends with a guy named ''Thor''?
* [[One of Our Own]]: In
* [[Recycled in Space]]: ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'', but with a nurse.
* [[Sarcastic Confession]]:
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: Jackie all the time, and to a lesser extent O'Hara
* [[Skewed Priorities]]: Arguably Jackie, depending on what you think is most important for her (Drugs or other obligations?). Definitely Coop and Zoey, at times.
* [[Talkative Loon]]: God.
* [[Token Minority]]: In
* [[Tourettes Syndrome]]: Coop. His tic acts up when he's stressed or nervous, and he grabs women's breasts. It gets him into trouble sometimes.
* [[The Unfair Sex]]: Coop and Jackie's disagreement on domestic violence vs. self defense.
