10Rowdy (& Steven) Will Still Be Going Strong In The Scrubs Revival
Turk & JD’s stuffed dogs are strangely indispensable
One of the weirdest linear gag inScrubslore is JD and Turk refusing to break the deception of their satiate dogs still being alive . It ’s even more unusual when it ’s considered neither bow-wow go to either part when alive . Regardless , the scenery and substitution about what Rowdy needs , wants , and likes are fabulously memorable - even if only for their irreverence . The appearing of an identical stuffed firedog named Steven only compound the jokeand made trusted it was n’t going aside , and the resurgence will almost definitely continue the bit .

One of the last update about Rowdy and Steven revealed that Turk learn the former , and JD took the latter . AlthoughSteven was originally sourced by Carla to supercede Rowdyafter she recede him , JD had weirdly grown just as attached to Steven as he had to Rowdy . So , Scrubsseason 10 is likely to abide by this development .

9JD Will Have Built A House On His Half-Acre

Although the sitcom does follow this plot of ground for a while , it speedily slips out of prominence . JD presumptively retain possession of the land after his split from Julie , althoughScrubsnever implicitly states this . What ’s so memorable about JD ’s half - Akko is that he never got around to build a family on it - just a pack of cards .
JD could very well have made more progress and added to the deck in the last 15ish geezerhood .
Scrubsseason 10 will need to bring JD back into the area after move away at the end of time of year 8 , and his half - acre is a everlasting path to do that . It would make sense for the revival to mimic the amount of fourth dimension that has guide since the show stop in 2010 , so JD could very well have made more progress and added to the deck in the last 15ish years . With a wife and two kids - and perhaps even more since -the Dorian family will certainly ask the space .

Ken Jenkins hasn’t acted in a few years (but he must come back for Scrubs season 10)
Scrubswouldn’t be the same without Ken Jenkins back as Dr. Kelso . Unfortunately , the actor ’s recent career suggests he may be enjoying a piano retirement . Jenkins has n’t accepted a use since 2019’sGirls Weekend , and he does n’t look to have any upcoming projects in the work . match with the fact he ’s now in his mid - mid-eighties , it could be that Jenkins has no desire to return to playacting , or it could be that no labor present to him have been to his liking .

6Scrubs Season 9 Will Be More Important Than Everyone Expects
Bill Lawrence and his team can’t ignore the Med School episodes
It would be difficult to find aScrubsfan who range time of year 9 anywhere else other than last shoes . AlthoughtheMed Schoolpremise restrain a compelling time to come forScrubs , it just did n’t influence all that well . However , the softly - boot epoch of the sitcom made massive changes toScrubscanonthat ca n’t be undo and must be honored when the show restoration . Therefore , Scrubsseason 10 ca n’t get away with disregard the effect of time of year 9 .
gown : Med School did n’t do much right , but it did introduce a plot line that could have been brilliant if it had been introduced slimly earlier .
The biggest modification to the normal was the demolition of the former Sacred Heart Hospital . As a result , any new episodes ca n’t return to the beloved band - and not just becausethe tangible building was also torn down in 2011 . The most logical solution would just be for the revival to take place in the main at the new hospital introduced inMed School . to boot , the character who debuted could also return in some form when the sitcom is revive . If so , there would likely be resistance from fate of the fan basis , but there ’s not really any getting around it .
5The Todd Will Be Watered Down In Scrubs Season 10
Todd’s whole shtick wouldn’t fly in 2024
One of theharsh realities of rewatchingScrubsso long after the show ended is just how inappropriate the Todd was . Almost every line out of his oral fissure was an innuendo , and while many of them were hilarious , present - day esthesia make it much less likely that Rob Maschio ’s character would be countenance to utter such vulgarity in a Disney - owned sitcom . It would be an incomplete reunion without Todd ’s comebackinScrubsseason 10 , but his duologue and general conduct will in all likelihood be a shadow of what it was during the original run .
The fact that the Todd was a skilled and sought - after sawbones elevated his crude one - liners even further into the world of comical absurdity .
obscene behavior and sexually point dialog are n’t unheard of in sitcoms in 2024 , but Todd ’s outbursts quite often blurred the short letter between what was safe - natured comedy and what would have lead in serious escalation . However , the fact that the Todd was a skilled and sought - after surgeon raise his crude one - liners even further into the reality of mirthful ridiculousness , sothere ’s still a chanceScrubs ' young era could abstract more graphical innuendo under the wirethan expected .
4There Will Be Flashbacks To Scrubs' Original Run
Scrubs season 10 will almost definitely cash in on its heyday
Nostalgia will undeniably be one of the main driving forces behind theScrubsrevival . Although the aforementioned ninth time of year was received fabulously poorly , existing fans will be tune in to sense that affectionate glow of intimacy from the first eight sets of episode . The presence of the original cast will go a tenacious way to achieve that , butScrubsseason 10 can go one footprint further and include newly shot flashback to when the sure-enough Sacred Heart Hospital was still standing .
The sitcom ’s original run can remain unaltered while Zach Braff ’s persona film viewers back toScrubs ' favourable age all within the safety of his imagination .
Of course , Scrubshas the added vantage of JD ’s phantasy , which generally do n’t affect the show ’s main canon . Therefore , the sitcom ’s original run can stay unchanged while Zach Braff ’s case engage viewers back toScrubs ' gilded geezerhood all within the safety of his resourcefulness . There ’s also the possibility of actually flashing back to the 2000s within the world of the sitcom . The actors may have get on since then , but sitcom often do n’t need to care about historical accuracy in that respect . In fact , token efforts to age down a member of the cast of characters can often make these moments much comic .
3Ted Will Be Respectfully Written Out Of The Show
Sam Lloyd sadly passed away in 2020
unhappily , Sam Lloyd ’s expiry in 2020 imply he ’s currently the only appendage of the original casting who definitely wo n’t be part of the revival . Ted ’s presence will be sorely missed inScrubsseason 10 , but he can still be mentioned by his friend and former colleague . The show will need to explain where Ted has proceed , so Bill Lawrence and society can let in a respectful reason why Ted is miss in one of the scripts .
There are a few possibility for excuse Ted ’s absence seizure in theScrubsrevival .
There are a few theory for explaining Ted ’s absence seizure in theScrubsrevival . The first revolves aroundLloyd repeat the role of Ted inCougar Town , so the character could just be inhabit in Florida and select not to render . The alternative mostly revolve around an offscreen expiry to mirror Lloyd ’s passing .

2The Scrubs Revival Will End With JD As Chief Of Medicine Of Sacred Heart
Turk & JD running Sacred Heart together just feels right
AlthoughScrubsseason 8 ’s " My Finale " two - parter was brilliant , the situation comedy arguably drop the lump by not giving JD his perfect ending . With Turk being promoted to Chief of Surgery near the conclusion of time of year 8 - a part he retain in season 9 -Scrubshad the chance to retain JD as Dr. Cox ’s figure two and tease the eventual hypothesis of Braff ’s character supplanting his mentor and fill over as Sacred Heart ’s Chief of Medicine .
JD and Turk start the infirmary sounds like the ending the original running could n’t make occur , and it would be the undecomposed lieu to terminate theScrubsrevival .
Dr. Cox will be old in theScrubsrevival than Kelso wasin the show ’s first - ever episode , so it would not be surprising if Cox retires during the revitalisation . Even if the sitcom decides not to work JD back to Sacred Heart at first , thenDr . Cox ’s retirement would spread the door for him to name his protégé as his successor . JD and Turk running the hospital sound like the end the original run could n’t make happen , and it would be the good place to end theScrubsrevival .
1The Janitor Will Return In Scrubs Season 10 After Disappearing In Season 9
Neil Flynn only appeared very briefly in the Med School pilot
Neil Flynn ’s enigmaticScrubscharacter was one of the beloved figures who did n’t return for theMed Schoolepisodes . He appeared for a abbreviated cameo in the first installation to facetiously explicate his absence seizure , but that was it . The hilarious dynamic between JD and the Janitor was one of the just facet ofScrubs , and there was a gaping yap in time of year 9 . Proving thatScrubsis much piteous for the lack of the Janitorwas one of the few beneficial thing the show ’s last time of year did , so he ’s almost guaranteed to regress .
The Scrubs revival can only really terminate one way , and when it does , the sitcom already has a eventuality in stead for when JD take root into his new theatrical role .
The Janitor ’s tendency for intentionally spreading misinformationmeans his return could be one of the funniest section of the revitalisation . It ’s impossible to trust a single word that leaves his mouth , so the sitcom has the opportunity to offer up several theories aboutwhere the Janitor has been all this time , and why he choose to come back . Failure to bring the Janitor back forScrubsseason 10 could spell tragedy for the situation comedy ’s return - but hopefully , he ’ll be one of the first characters through the door .
