Ellie Torres

Cougar Town is an American television sitcom that aired on ABC and later TBS. The characters were created by Bill Lawrence and Kevin Biegel. It focuses on a recently divorced woman who reenters the dating world while living with her 17-year-old son and still being constantly pestered by her slacker ex-husband. A pilot episode of the show was broadcast after Modern Family on September 23, 2009.

The series featured seven main cast members: a 40-year-old mother who’s newly single Jules Cobb (Courteney Cox); Ellie Torres (Christa Miller) as Jules' next door neighbor and best friend; Laurie Keller (Busy Philipps), Jules' young assistant; Bobby Cobb (Brian Van Holt), Jules' unemployed ex-husband; Travis Cobb (Dan Byrd), Jules' 17-year-old son; Andy Torres (Ian Gomez), Ellie's husband; and Grayson Ellis (Josh Hopkins), Jules' newly divorced neighbor.

Courteney Cox plays Jules Cobb, born November 15, 1968, a recently divorced single mother exploring the honest truths about dating and aging. Jules resides in a small town in Florida and is a real estate agent who is successful in business. Though she has been out of the dating world for a while, Jules decides to find love again. She starts dating Josh, a 28-year-old in the beginning of season 1. However, she breaks up with him after he tells her he's in love with her, and she realizes she does not reciprocate those feelings. She meets her next boyfriend, Jeff while trying to sell a house to him and they date for a while until she realizes that they want different things: Jeff is looking for a long-term relationship, while Jules is not. After her break-up with Jeff, Jules sleeps with Bobby but rejects his offer to reunite romantically. Jules tells him that she does not love him like that anymore after their divorce. Jules also has an incredibly close relationship with her high school (and later college) aged son, Travis, whom she had with her ex-husband Bobby. The rest of the group finds her relationship with Travis somewhat scary and it has even been mentioned by Jules herself that professionals have deemed it 'unhealthy'. Jules and her neighbor, Grayson are attracted to each other, their friendship is innocent and flirty until the episode "Letting You Go" when they kiss and sleep together. In the next episode, Grayson and Jules explore the idea of friends with benefits, but they both realize that they want more and start secretly dating. In the Season 1 finale, they reveal the fact that they are dating to everyone, including Bobby—who is upset initially but learns to accept their relationship. Jules and Grayson get engaged at the beginning of Season 3 and are later married on the beach at the end of the season. Jules also has a close relationship with her widower father, Chick.
