Ellenor Frutt, fondly known as Ellie by Bobby, is a much loved character of the show. Though she may sometimes seem tough on the outside, inside she has a real big heart, which often interferes with her cases, especially if her cases involve anyone overweight. Despite this, everyone is aware of Ellenor's impressive success rate in the courtroom.. Never to be intimidated by threats Ellenor will defend her client to the best of her ability, even if it means bending a few rules. This is seen in the George Vogelman trial during the third season, where she ambushed a friend of the firms, District Attorney Helen Gamble while on the stand.
Ellenor though regardless of her success in the court has not been as equally lucky in love. Having towo major serious relationships, she was dissapointed in both occasions. First off, was a man who caused the firm, not to mention Lindsay with much heartache. George Vogelman. They dated for a while but Eleenor wanted to call it off, but in doing so he motioned her with an emotional distress claim. Then, when she came to his aid at trial, when he was accused of decapitating a won's head off, he retaliates by stabbing Lindsay, with the reason that she lied saying she'd be working late. Next up was Fred Spivak. A long time friend of Ellenor, who she had not seen in a very long time. She runs into him again and sparks fly, but once again she is heartbroken, when she discovers he was responsible for the car accident Rebecca was in, for an insurance fraud.
Ellenor also went through many rough times through the middle of the third season. Her jealousy got the better of her, making her angry and annoyed towards Lindsay. Leading her to believe that Lindsay was the "chosen one" because she was pretty, wanted by the blue chip firms and was now even going out with Bobby. (not that she liked Bobby, I think she was mostly referring to the relationship) But Lindsay and Ellenor were able to get past their differences and are now great friends
Ellenor is a great lawyer and friend. Always willing to help and give advice, she is loved by the entire firm, and is part of the family of lawyers who entertain us once a week.
