Bill Lawrence, the mastermind behind Scrubs, spoke with LADbible and revealed that J.D. and Turk could be scrubbing back in sooner rather than later. While Lawrence doesn’t want to take the Community route and commit to making a movie, he thinks it would be fun to “see where the characters (he) used to love are now, but also to see what a young doctor nowadays looks like, as far as the kids coming in behind them.” As Lawrence, Zach Braff and Donald Faison navigate their busy schedules, Lawrence believes that they’ll figure out how they want to tackle a revival within “the next six months or so.”
Elsewhere in the world of sitcoms, Jesse Tyler Ferguson revealed how playing the openly gay Mitchell Pritchett for 11 seasons on Modern Family shielded him from homophobia. On a recent episode of his podcast Dinner’s on Me, the actor explained that he and his then-boyfriend “sort of got gay bashed a little bit” during a trip to Vegas pre-Modern Family. But when he returned to Vegas after becoming one half of Cam and Mitch, he was recognized as “that gay one from TV” on “that show they like.”
The moral here, I guess: If you find yourself dealing with homophobic strangers, simply be cast on a critically acclaimed sitcom and garner five Emmy nominations in a row to combat it.
