According to a Scrubs commentary track, she used to attend the German school in her hometown twice a week. Her first language is English, but she speaks German fluently and French `` fairly well. '' This was incorporated into her Scrubs character, Elliot Reid, who spoke German and French at the same levels. Chalke graduated from Handsworth Secondary School in North Vancouver in 1994. Career Chalke 's acting career began at age eight when she began appearing in musical theater productions. At 12, she became a reporter on the Canadian children 's show KidZone. In 1993, she took over the role of Rebecca Conner - Healy on Roseanne after Lecy Goranson left the series ; Chalke made a cameo appearance as a different character in the Roseanne episode `` Halloween : The Final Chapter '' ( # 178, originally aired October 31, 1995 ) after Goranson returned.

After the show ended, Chalke returned briefly to Canada, where she starred in the CBC Television drama Nothing Too Good for a Cowboy ( 1998 -- 1999 ). In 2001, she was cast as Dr. Elliot Reid in the NBC comedy series Scrubs and she would be a cast member for all nine seasons until the series ended its run in 2010. She has appeared in several feature films, including Ernest Goes to School and Cake. She appeared in Channel 101 's The ' Bu with The Lonely Island, a parody of the hit show The O.C., but was credited as `` Pamela Fenton ''.

In 2008 and 2009, she made appearances in the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother as Stella Zinman. In early 2011, she starred in the CBS television series Mad Love, a romantic comedy which debuted as a midseason replacement and was cancelled after only one season was produced.

On April 28, 2017, it was announced that a revival of Roseanne was in the works, and that most of the original cast and some of the producers would return for the limited series. On May 16, 2017, it was confirmed that eight episodes of the show were greenlit by ABC and would air mid-season in 2018 with Chalke returning, but playing a role other than Becky Conner. On May 29, 2018, in the wake of racist remarks made by Barr on Twitter regarding Valerie Jarrett ( an advisor of former president Barack Obama ), ABC cancelled the revival after a single season.
