Rub showrunner Bill Lawrence has begun to provide some details about what a revival of the medical sitcom could look like, and the show's story could easily be used to accommodate one of Lawrence's interesting choices. After being canceled in 2010, all nine seasons of Rub are about to become relevant again as the story picks up again some fifteen years later. THE Rub The revival could go in a number of different directions this early in the process, but from Lawrence's early statements about his plans, it appears he has a clear plan in mind.
There are several Rub characters who are essential to the success of the revival. Not every doctor in Rub returned for the divisive 9th season - aka Scrubs: Faculty of Medicine — which was a big factor in why the softly rebooted version of the sitcom failed so badly. With Rub 10th season now confirmed, Lawrence has a chance to redeem the program's fall from gracebut he is still determined to use certain elements of Rub'last season. However, by combining it with a plot of Rub Season 5, aspects of Faculty of Medicine It could be much more effective this time.
The Scrubs Revival could be set in more than one hospital (like Elliot's Season 5 storyline)
Sarah Chalke's Scrubs character briefly worked away from Sacred Heart
Lawrence has been very vocal about his intention to not only reunite the original Rub cast, but also to introduce new faces to represent the challenges faced by new doctors in the modern era. Giving these new cast members ample screen time alongside the original actors may be difficult, but the show has already provided Lawrence with a way to do thisand it all comes down to where the sitcom revival takes place.
Although the configuration of Rub If the revival isn't clear at the moment, a multi-hospital story could work really well. Rub The season 4 finale, "My Changing Ways," kicks off a brief storyline for Elliot where she works at another hospital, away from the series' main cast. While she returns to Sacred Heart just a few episodes later, Rub 5th season, the show allows itself to focus on the exploits and staff of Elliot's new hospital while also keeping the Sacred Heart in history. Meeting Elliot's new colleagues is fun, and a similar structure could easily be readopted when Rub returns.
Bill Lawrence has already teased that Scrubs Season 10 won't be set in Sacred Heart
Scrubs showrunner hinted at where the revival will unfold
The showrunner subtly hinted that Rub season 10 may not be set at Sacred Heart Hospital. Although this could be considered a huge risk, Sacred Heart stood tall Rub Season 9 was already very different from the main version of the hospital that was used in the first 8 seasons. So, all things considered, It's no big deal to leave the Sacred Heart behind as has technically already been done.
He stated that one possibility is to define the Rub revival in a medical center where "some of our main regular customers still work as doctors."
Lawrence's comments so far have been understandably vaguebut he stated that one possibility is to define the Rub revival in a medical center where "some of our main regular customers still work as doctors." While the word "some"worryingly implies that the original cast reunion will be incomplete, the consensus at this point seems to be that everyone who can return will return. Therefore, the possibility of just"some"do"main regulars"Working in a specific hospital opens the door to an entirely separate facility that can house others.
Using more hospitals is the best way to prevent Scrubs Season 10 from failing like medical school
Overcrowding 1 hospital with new and old faces again would be a mistake
The actors who play the new interns in the Scrubs: Faculty of Medicine cast had an uphill battle to fightas they intended to eventually replace most of the original cast. Taking the place of such beloved characters was always going to be a challenge, and audiences didn't accept the newcomers enough to justify continuing the new version of the show. The remnants of Rub seasons 1 through 8, as Donald Faison's Dr. Chris Turk and John C. McGinley's Dr. Perry Cox, when paired with the new stars, caused an overcrowded situation.
With the expectation that even more original actors will return to Rub In Season 10, Lawrence would no doubt be quite limited when it comes to how many new faces he could introduce to the revival. It's a very real possibility that there will be too many characters again, so splitting them between two (or more) hospitals makes a lot of sense. Doing so would give new and old cast members more room to breathe, and Lawrence would be free to introduce more Rub characters more organically and reliably than he could if limited to a single installation.
