The Scrubs appreciation thread, {Season 2 of return or 11 overall is coming}

She constantly like she’s on the verge of a mental breakdown.

She’s like Ted from the original show, but instead of being constantly depressed, she’s constantly manic. Another way in which she is the opposite of Ted is that she actually has a backbone and gets people to do what she says. But as far as I can tell they have the same job; try to keep the hospital from getting sued.

I do like her in this show though. Her character’s energy really works as a foil for the other characters.

That was Joel Kim Booster, playing Dr Kevin Park. IMDB lists him only in the first two episodes, probably because Dr Dorian was appointed chief of medicine. Presumably Dr Park moved on.

Agreed, JD needs a nemesis. He had 3 nemesises (nemesi?) on the original show-- the Janitor, Dr. Cox and Dr. Kelso (ok, Cox was half nemesis / half mentor). It certainly looked like they were setting up Dr. Park to be the new nemesis in ep.1 of the reboot. Didn’t he tell JD that he was going to eventually take the chief job from him, since he gets everything he wants, or something to that effect?

Yeah, good breakdown. She serves the function of Ted while offering some differing comedy premises.

nemeses- I had to look that up.

Has Elliot Frik-ed yet?

Great news, Scrubs renewed for another season. Ken Jenkins, Dr Kelso is set to appear.

I’d love to see them do a Cougartown crossover like they did with the Scrubs characters on the Courtney Cox show a hundred years ago. Won’t be the same without Ted, though.

Wow, he’s an Abe Viogota.

He’s 85 now. Probably just a short guest appearance. He hasn’t worked since 2019.

I’m happy to hear both. I’d really like to have more episodes that feature everyone. This season was fun, but we didn’t have a lot of episodes with all the cast.

John C. McGinley (Cox), Judy Reyes (Carla) & even Christa Miller (Jordan) were working on other projects.
As mentioned Ken Jenkins (Kelso) is retired.
Neil Flynn (Janitor) I’m not sure about. I get the impression they wanted to move on from that dynamic. Makes some sense, JD would be able to fire him now.

The rest weren’t regulars. I was missing Doug, but he has completely left acting apparently and is a Real Estate Broker.

Be still my Tuscaloosa heart.

Nice,

I really like it when the actor is actually playing/singing on camera. He’s quite good. Get down, Kelso! Get down wit yo bad self!

The janitor appeared in a recent episode.

Yes, the last one of the season. But I was responding to the post above mine with some explanations for absences.

I wonder if Doctor Beardfacé is still alive? I can’t access IMDB right now for some reason.

He is Geoff Stevenson, but I can’t find any biographical information on his life or potential death.
