From 2003 to 2023, ABC's popular sitcom, Ellen, revolved around the life of Ellen DeGeneres, a successful and humorous bookshop owner, as she navigated through her daily routine and personal life with her close-knit group of friends. DeGeneres' character was at the forefront of the series, and her vibrant personality and comedic timing made her a fan favorite. Her relationships with her best friend, Paige (Clea Lewis), and ex-boyfriend-turned-employee Joe (David Anthony Higgins) added depth and humor to the show's storylines.
