Scrubs Finale

Do we have a list of who appeared in line as JD walked out of the hospital? Alan Sepinwall has a partial list on his blog which included:

"J.D.'s brother Dan, The Todd, Tasty Coma Wife, crazy Jill, Laverne, Rex, Ted’s band, Dr. Wen, Colin Hay (who did appear on camera a few times), Lady, Keith Dudemeister, Dr. Mickhead, both the character Randall Winston (the little person custodian) and the producer Randall Winston (as the hook-handed security guard), the studly gynecologist, Mrs. Tanner (repeating the advice she gave J.D. at the end of “My Old Lady”), Colonel Doctor, Snoop Dogg Attending, and Hooch (now in a straightjacket, because Hooch is crazy!). "

Who else?

Who else?

J.D.'s drug stealing girl-friend. Don’t remember her name.

That was Alex.

The only one I thought that should have been there was Mr. Bober (“Pickles!”).

-Joe

Mrs. Wilk, J.D. and Dr. Cox’s favorite patient. The one that died after getting an infection from “Cabbage”. And Gloria, the hook-handed security guard’s white meat. She abused waving.

Remind me what happened to Dr. Wen?

He was on Dr. Cox’s “Sometimes Allow” list when he became Chief of Medicine so he’s presumably still at the hospital. I’m not sure why Turk would get the Chief of Surgery gig over him, though.

Dr. Wen was already Chief of Surgery, wasn’t he?

That’s what I thought. Maybe he got promoted? What’s above Chief of Surgery?

The simplest explanation is that Wen took a new position after Cox’s promotion. It’s nebulous how much calendar time this season has covered, but I suspect it’s longer than 5 months–perhaps as long as a year.

It vexed me that Eliot is moving FROM HER PRACTICALLY-NEW HOUSE into J.D.'s apartment. Gods of Earth & Air, but that girl needs therapy.

I’ve missed a few episodes. What is JD’s new job, exactly? Since he’s staying in his apartment, I assume it’s in the same nameless city as Sacred Heart. That makes the ostentatious goodbye from Turk & JD especially silly. Honestly, the only one of the good-byes that seemed appropriate to the circumstances was Carla’s, which was mostly about the end of their profssional relationship without any huge drama. But of the central four characters, Carla’s the least insane by a big long shot.

I did enjoy JD finally admitting the penny thing and the Janitor possibly screwing with him one last time about being named Glen. I say possibly because it’s been shown before that the Janitor has multiple personae in the hospital, so just because someone called him Tony doesnt mean that’s true.

I still say that, inside of 5 years, JD and Carla will end up swapping romantic partners. :smiley:

I think it’s fair to blame Mrs. Wilk’s death on JD’s poor management skills. He should have cast Cabbage out long before he did. I also think that, if those had been real people rather than JD’s imaginings at the end, a lot more than Lonnie would have said “I hate you, JD.” All the old girlfriends, surely, with the possible exception of Molly Clock (if you call her a girlfriend, and if she’d been shown).

Dr. Wen was the chief attending surgeon, which is what Dr. Cox was on the medical end at the beginning of the series. We never met the Chief of Surgery to the best of my knowledge.

JD was moving 45 minutes away, which is about how far one of my good friends lives, and I usually only see him at work because I don’t like driving that distance any more than I have to, especially just to hang out, so it makes sense that this would cut their time short. Plus, Turk has one kid and another on the way, and that’s going to cut it even shorter.

And JD is the Residency Director at the new hospital, which was Cox’s position during the middle of the series.

I was really hoping that they’d reveal the Janitor’s real name to be Jan Itor.

On hindsight it’s better they didn’t.

I wanted it to be Neil Flynn.

JD is moving to the same town where Kim lives to be closer to Sam. He bumped into her boss at St. Vincent’s Hospital, they hit it off, and that’s where he’ll be working.

IIRC, doctors have to live within a certain radius of a hospital. I don’t think that applies to Eliot, since she’s private practice, but JD and Kim and Turk are employed by their respective hospitals, so I think they have to live fairly close.

I also got the sense the show is set in California (Sean worked at Sea World, which is in San Diego, and Turk and JD also mentioned setting the clock back three hours so they could be on Honolulu time.)

I was looking to see if Sean Hayes would be in the line, but I guess it makes sense that he wasn’t.

In all fairness, Cabbage did infect Mrs. Wilk AFTER he was fired.

I think more than anyone else, I would have loved to see Dr. Kevin Casey. Or any of the former Spin City cast that cameo’d on the show.

Was that the Mike Fox character with OCD?

Speaking of old Scrubs characters, I’d like to see Molly Clock come back & weird out the new interns if they continue.

I was guessing that’s the way that they were going to do.
