Um... I'm In The Bahamas With The Cast of 'Scrubs'
Remember a few weeks back when I told you the cast of Scrubs might be traveling to the Bahamas to film a wedding episode? Well, guess who scored an invite to the nuptials... Don't ask me how it happened, but I am here in the beautiful Bahamas with Zach Braff, Bill Lawrence and company as we speak. Yes, this time yesterday I met the entire cast and crew at a private terminal in Los Angeles -- News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch was there too, waiting to board his own private jet! -- where we hopped on a chartered flight to make the trek down. And I must tell you, traveling with the Scrubs family is quite a privelege. First of all, it was Donald Faison's birthday yesterday, which Zach promptly announced minutes after arriving, so I got to watch the big D, accompanied by his lovely lady friend CaCee Cobb, do a fancy birthday dance for everyone. But more than anything, I was just struck by the overwhelmingly good vibe that this entire group has going. Many of the crew members have brought their kids and spouses along for the trip -- John C. McGinley's wife and very well-behaved baby girl are here too -- the cast is in great spirits and everyone just seems psyched to be together for this experience. I mean, as soon as the captain turned off that 'fasten seatbelt' sign, Zach began patrolling the aisles with his camera and a Bloody Mary -- courtesy of producer Randall Winston who mixed up a very special version of the cocktail for everyone. By the way, shout out to my row mates, DP Andy Rawson and Set Dresser Vince for their very generous offerings to share the vodka and soda they carried on. Oh yes, the cast and crew of Scrubs carries on. I'm telling you, even the flight attendants were having a good time.
And now that we're here, I've got to jet to set and see what's on tap for today. FYI, I took a sneak peek at the pages they're shooting this week and it looks to be a pretty big episode for J.D. and Elliot -- one that fans of the couple will remember for a long time. No, that doesn't mean they're the two that are tying the knot. Just means that if you love seeing J.D. and Elliot together, this trip down to the Bahamas (where Scrubs airs seven days a week on a channel called WGN America, it was playing in my hotel room when I arrived last night!) will be memorable one.
And by the by, if you've got any Scrubs-related questions you desperately want answered, email me at kghosh@zap2it.com. I doubt I'll ever have this level of access again...
Holy crap! Congrats chica. Talk about sweet gig. Can you ask Bill Lawrence any more about this Scrubs as a revolving door show thing? Most of the fans seem to be totally against it, so what's the deal?
Also, can you get any scoop on the new cast adds? I know Aziz Ansari is a newbie. Are he just gonna be a new intern like Keith once was? Or will he actually have a storyline that intersects with the cast outside the hospital too?
I meant is he, not are he. Grammar police patrol...

katherine | Jun 23, 2008 9:05:50 AM | #Did The Janitor score an invite to the party?
Angie | Jun 23, 2008 12:48:06 PM | #Katherine:
There have been multiple reports that part of the ABC deal for Scrubs was that the show could possibly continue after an 8th season. Bill Lawrence, Zack, and I think other cast members would not continue with the show, but Steve MacPherson has said that Scrubs could be like ER, with a revolving door for cast. Hence the three new cast adds for next season who would be considered the new generation of Scrubs.

Susan | Jun 24, 2008 5:40:03 AM | #Is "E" posting up-here Elliot "Sarah Calke" ?
alex | Jun 24, 2008 10:24:11 AM | #Susan, do you need a saucer of milk? Or are you just turning green? Meow!
Tracey | Jun 24, 2008 11:40:12 AM | #Tracey, I would LOVE to hang with the cast of Scrubs. I am envious, but it seems that all this blog post was so that she can brag and name drop that she was there. I would've liked to hear more about the upcoming (final?) season of the most underappreciated and mistreated show in ages. Just my .02
Susan | Jun 24, 2008 1:35:26 PM | #hang tight, friends. working on pics and scoop and all sorts of good stuff. promise.
