Lauren Graham to be on “Scrubs”?
June 22, 2009 by Arieanna
Scrubs has undergone a lot of changes! After NBC dropped the series, it appeared on ABC for its eighth season. The series is set to return for Season 9, but without headliners Zach Braff & Sarah Chalke as regulars (only as guest stars). 
The series is currently attempting to transition to a new format, and word has it they’re trying to land a big star. Perhaps Lauren Graham!!
The new Scrubs would potentially shift from the hospital to the classroom, with Cox (John C. McGinley) and Turk (Donald Faison) as professors in the school. Aside from new medical students, ABC is recommending the show hire a big name, someone recognizable. It’s reported:
Sources close to the series tell me Gilmore Girls‘ Lauren Graham is currently at the top of their wish list.
Likely this Season 9 of Scrubs will appear under a new name, though possibly related to the name in some way.
What do you think – would you like Lauren Graham on this new Scrubs??

I’m a huge scrubs fan and I’m a huge fan of Lauren! I’d welcome that whole thing alot! But I’d love to see Lauren on House!!!
Greetings!
I would love to see to see Lauren on Scrubs shes totally funny and shes would make the show really awsome.
I would love to see her in any show every week.
I hope it is not a bad move for her to join a show at its end.
She easily could have replaced Chalk in season 2 or 3.
She would have been great comedic and romantic opposite Braff.
AHHH! This brought such a huge smile to my face! Thanks so so much for reporting this! Scrubs is in my top 3 favorite shows along with GG and Arrested Development. Oh, i really hope this happens. She’d be great for the show and could completely revitalize it! Her rapid-fire dialogue skills could come in handy too. Great, great news.
Great news,that good idea for Lauren join Scurbs. I did not watch Scrubs but I will watch when she will be on and she will great on Scrubs
yes, my two favourite shows would be somehow united!
I have never watched this show but if LG is hired I’ll definitely give it a try!
OMG I love this!!! I f she comes in as a mature med-student she could so have a thing with Dr Cox!!!!
I can just imagine their rapid fire banter dripping with sarcasm but really leading to a hook-up!!! Great casting call – can’t wait to see if it happens!
Interesting thought. Tossing Lauren in with John McGinley and Christa Miller could make for an interesting potential love triangle [at least in the short term], but is that really enough to carry a changed-venue medical show. The last time that was tried we got Aftermash without the MASH principle players and that fizzeled almost immediately. Losing the chemistry of Braff/Faison and Braff/Chalke seems like way too much to have to compensate for. The rest of the Scrubs cast, exceptional that they were, were mostly there to support these two dynamics.
So exciting! On the one hand, the idea of getting her on a show that is kind of dying is not that great, BUT on the other hand, she can help to revive it and bring a whole new audience (like me-I’ve never seen Scrubs but would totally watch it if Lauren were a main character). I feel it might not be as risky as starting a new show that faces so many risks its first couple years of being canceled. I hope it works out!
Just looooooved the idea! Scrubs is one of my favorite shows ever and I’m a HUGE fan of Lauren! It would be great since J.D. is not scheduled to be full-time on the show this season and Lauren’s “Bridget Show” is probably not going to happen.
if they want a big name they need to bring in hugh jackman
No! NO! No!
I LOVE Lauren Graham, but I HATE Scrubs!!!!!
She needs her own show. She deserves to be the STAR!!!!!!!!!
