The Quotes

“He has a history with Erica Durance’s character, Alex Reid. They were sort of former lovers, I guess. And I guess that energy has never really entirely diminished between the two of them.” - Daniel


"Is he back because of Alex [his former lover, played by Erica Durance]? Regardless of whether or not that's his motivation, he can't do anything about it because there's nothing less cool than making a play for a woman whose husband to be is in a coma [laughs]." - Daniel, The Insider Interview, June 07, 2012


“Hey, Alex! You look like a million bucks by the way!” - Joel


“The relationship that Alex has with Joel is the direct opposite of the one she has with Charlie. They’ve known each other a very long time and they had a relationship in the past that way very tumultuous and it’s that kind of crazy passionate relationship that isn’t always what’s best for you, but you somehow are addicted to it." - Erica

"Joel Goren wants to be the best damn surgeon in the world, but I also think he wants to be near Alex Reid. But being near [Alex] means being near this woman who’s painfully in love with this man who’s unconscious. If [Joel] leaves, he’s ditching one of his best friends, but if he stays he’s sort of of tortured by the way he feels about her.” - Daniel, EW Interview, June 07, 2012

"There's a little bit of that [ a love triangle] going on because of leftover history and what that relationship provides for her is somebody she's known forever that she can cut through all the crap with and say what she wants to say. If she wants to be angry, she can be angry with him. You get to see that side of her and their relationship and he has unresolved feelings for her and he's trying to find opportunities to talk about it." - Erica, The Hollywood Reporter Interview, June 14. 2012


“I mean, you didn’t invite me to the wedding so presumably, you’re still in love with me.” - Joel
“Ha, ha, ha, right. I totally forgot. I like to remember the poems that you wrote me, the breakfasts in bed, the nurses you were banging.” -Alex

“To readdress the question, I think for my character it’s certainly an interesting place to come into this place where it should have been really kind of fun, where he could have, sort of enjoyed this sexual tension between him and his ex-girlfriend who he clearly still adores, but now he’s forced to be sort of unselfish, which wasn’t something that Joel Goran was counting on. I think he’s used to living in a universe where the planets orbit around him, you know? And that’s not happening anymore.” - Daniel

"There’s an enormous conflict at the center of this. He’s walked into a situation with a woman that he’s probably in love with.” - Daniel, EW Interview, June 07, 2012

The Quotes


“Charlie’s not going to die.” - Joel
“Come on, Joel, he is! He has some brain function maybe. The rest is just machines.” - Alex
“No you don’t know that.” - Joel
“Yes I do! And so do you!” - Alex
“No, I don’t!” - Joel

“I came in here because I was trying to be nice to you.” -Joel
“Well don’t be nice, because you’re a lot of things, Joel, but you’re not nice.” - Alex

“What I enjoy about the relationship she has with the Joel Goran character is that he’s somebody she’s known a very long time and even though there was quite a tumultuous end to their relationship it’s quite nice to have someone you can turn to and just be really angry and they accept that and they get it and you have a short hand with them which is really great.” -Erica

"I like that it's messy. Messy is good. In life, you always say the wrong thing at the wrong time. And it's really awkward. But I love playing with the awkward of it. It's adding one more thing to Alex's plate and slowly introducing that baggage is fascinating. What's lovely about Joel for Alex is that she's got someone around who has known her forever. She doesn't have to pretend around him – there are no pretenses. And that's a fun relationship to have, and play." - Erica, The Insider Interview, June 14, 2012

“I’ve got this.” - Alex
“No you don’t, I’ve got this.” - Joel


“And then to see that her fiance had this car accident in the pilot, it creates a really strange tension and a perfect drama, because it’s like there’s nowhere to sort of go except to support your friend at that point, you know? And so it’s very interesting from that perspective.” - Daniel

“Joel ends up having to search for this quality of enormous empathy and passion. He’s now having to perform the emotional duty of being a bedrock for Alex.” - Daniel, EW Interview, June 07, 2012

“Did you get laid last night?” - Alex
“Excuse me?” - Joel
“You always rock the Shakespeare when you’re feeling conquery.” - Alex
“I don’t kiss and tell.” - Joel
“You barely even kiss.” -Alex

Songs that r e m i n d us of them


Misery by Maroon 5

Not that I didn't care
It's that I didn't know
It's not what I didn't feel,
It's what I didn't show


Addicted by Kelly Clarkson

It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you

Rolling in the Deep by Adele

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all

Catalyst by Anna Nalick

You'll be the vein
You'll be the pain
You'll be the scar
You'll be the road, rolling below
The wheels of a car
And all of the thoughts, on God
Don't know if I'm strong enough now
You'll be the vein
You'll be the pain
You'll be the
Catalyst

I Still Ain't Over You by Augustana

Out of luck and out of tune
Half a day and night confused
Love may wash away the blues
But I still ain't over you

Damn the day that I forgot
Came so close and almost lost
It's been one year and fourteen months
But I still ain't over you

This Ain't a Love Song by Bon Jovi


Baby, I thought you and me would stand the test of time
Like we got away with the perfect crime
But we were just a legend in my mind
I guess that I was blind
Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade
The clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade
You and I were the renegades, some things never change

It made me so mad 'cause I wanted it bad for us baby
Now it's so sad that whatever we had, ain't worth saving
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I've cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yes I'm wrong, this ain't a love song

Count on Me by Bruno Mars

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you

Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

What About Now by Daughtry

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Fix You by Coldplay

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you


It Is What It Is by Lifehouse

Too long we've been denying
Now we're both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can't get over it
Nothing to relive
It's water under the bridge
You said it, I get it
I guess it is what it is

Over My Head by The Fray

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

All This Time by One Republic

All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
We got all these words, can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line running back to you

Before the Worst by The Script

There was a time, that we'd stay up all night
Best friends talking 'til the daylight
Took the joys alongside the pain
With not much to lose but so much to gain...

We we're thinking we would never be apart
With your name tattooed across my heart
Who would have thought it would end up like this?
Where everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on

Was trying to take it back before it all went wrong

Ashes and Wineby A Fine Frenzy

Is there a chance?
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel?
A reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may change your mind?
Or are we ashes and wine?

Run Every Time by Gavin Degraw

I never meant to be this close
And let it slip away
I keep stumbling till I finally miss the last train
Ooh, she’s ready, I’m not ready
I hear people go crazy for steady
But me, I run every time

Gravity by Sara Bareilles

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here
'Til the moment I'm gone.

The Story of Us by Taylor Swift

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking,
And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?
I don't know what to say, since the twist of fate when it all broke down,
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.

Count on Me by Mat Kearney

You can count on me
When you cannot see
Let me spell it out
Plain and simple now
When your numbers called
Backs against the wall
Pick you up when you fall
Be there when you call
