rainbowcreek the girl that left him at the altar, maybe even his sister who didn't actually die in hurricane katrina, a girl joel ends up interested in only to find out she's gay and they become best friends instead maybe she can even help him with discovering his bisexuality, more girls in general for any lines whatsoever because this is looking to be more of a sausage party
also looking for a technician for his little pathology lab, his mentor figure (suggesting alec baldwin for cliche reasons but open to literally any pb) who he outwardly hates but inwardly would die for in a heartbeat, friends to take this loner out of his self-inflicted hell, patients who see him regularly, patients who don't take their meds so joel can stomp up to their apartments and yell at them, maybe even people who knew him from montreal, etc etc
