John and others possibly back for season 9 of Scrubs

John and several other cast members may be back for a full season, granted Scrubs gets picked up by ABC for a 9th season and their new pilots don't get picked up for a season. Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke are also signed for a 6 episode stint. That would be cool if it happens, but it still wont be the same show.

Is ABC prepping for more Scrubs? That seems to be the case amid word that Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke have each signed six-episode deals.

If Scrubs is in fact renewed for a ninth season, Braff's John Dorian and Chalke's Elliot Reid would return for limited engagements to set up new storylines centering on the younger doctors, according to the Hollywood Reporter. (Of note: Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence has posted favorable comments online about a certain growly, unsentimental young doctor, saying, "I did respond to Eliza Coupe's portrayal of Denise.")

ABC isn't commenting yet, but if Scrubs does in fact get a new season, three other original characters, John C. McGinley's Cox, Donald Faison's Turk and Neil Flynn's Janitor, are locked in to return full-time, assuming their various pilots don't go to series on other networks.

If Scrubs does come back in some form, will you still be watching?
