In the era of reboots, what does a great series finale mean?
But what it also excelled at was its bittersweet tone. Sometimes, in medicine and in his personal life, things didn't work out the way J.D. wanted. Sometimes, in fact, they worked out tragically, or even just disappointingly. It was an emotional balance that Lawrence would continue honing on shows including ' That tone was particularly evident in the original finale of 'Scrubs,' (original, yes, because the show backtracked and came back with a new set of young doctors for a couple of extra seasons) which saw J.D. leave Sacred Heart, the hospital where he worked, for a new job. Advertisement What set that sort-of-finale apart from other series finales was what happened as he exited the hospital. True to J.D. and his active fantasy life, he imagined what his future might be — he saw himself marrying Elliot and having a baby with her, he celebrated Christmas with Turk and Dr. Cox, he finally got a big hug from Dr. Cox, his kid married Turk's kid. It was all very cheesy, but knowingly so. It was the type of wish fulfillment that TV shows often seem to feel obligated to close with (ahem, 'Friends'), but in perfect 'Scrubs' fashion, its final scene doesn't say any of this will actually happen. As a Peter Gabriel cover of the classic Magnetic Fields song 'The Book of Love' plays (a Lawrence show always has excellent music thanks to his wife and frequent star, Christa Miller), J.D. thinks about how nice it would be if it did. Wouldn't it be wonderful if marriages always lasted lifetimes, and we always stayed central to the lives of all the people we love? With a reboot set to happen, we'll find out whether any of J.D.'s dreams came true. The potentials will become facts, one way or another. As show after show gets rebooted, it's a little sad to see all of those endings undone. Sure, it can be fun and comforting to revisit these worlds. But as 'Scrubs' so often pointed out, sometimes the real joy was in leaving room for uncertainty. Lisa Weidenfeld can be reached at

Zach Braff Returning as JD for "Scrubs" Reboot
Yara Sameh Zach Braff is set to reprise the role of J.D. in a reboot of 'Scrubs' being developed at ABC. The reboot was first reported to be in early development in December, with original series creator Bill Lawrence serving as executive producer but not showrunner. Lawrence, Braff and other 'Scrubs' alum have discussed the idea of a reboot for years, but it couldn't go into motion until after negotiations between Disney, which owns the IP, and Warner Bros. Television, where Lawrence has an overall deal. While working on 'Scrubs' at Disney-owned 20th Television, Lawrence remains under his deal at WBTV, where he produces the Apple TV+ comedy series 'Shrinking,' 'Ted Lasso' and 'Bad Monkey.' 'Scrubs' premiered in 2001 on NBC, which aired the series for seven seasons before cancelling it. It was then renewed by ABC for an eighth season, which was intended to end the series, though the network later greenlit a ninth season subtitled 'Scrubs: Med School' in which only John C. McGinley and Donald Faison stayed on as series regulars. Braff appeared in six out of 13 episodes. Alongside Braff as J.D. aka John Dorian, the original cast of 'Scrubs' included McGinley as Perry Cox, Faison as Chris Turk, Judy Reyes as Carla Espinosa, Sarah Chalke as Elliot Reid, Ken Jenkins as Bob Kelso and Neil Flynn as the janitor. The series was a single-camera sitcom set at Sacred Heart Hospital and narrated by J.D. as he and his friends advanced in their medical careers. Braff is the only cast member currently confirmed to be attached to the reboot. He previously spoke about his enthusiasm to join a 'Scrubs' reboot in a Variety interview about the 20th anniversary of his film 'Garden State': 'The idea of getting back together with my friends and doing like 10 or 12 episodes of maybe one or two seasons, and just laughing with everyone? That sounds like a dream,' he said. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies

Paradise street named after late 16-year-old hockey player J.D. Trainor
J.D. Trainor was both a Warrior on the ice — having played for the Paradise, N.L., hockey team that carries that name — and a warrior in his battle against cancer, his family says, as they welcome a new memorial from their community. The 16 year old died earlier this year, and to honour his memory, the Town of Paradise has named a street after him in an upcoming subdivision near Adam's Pond. J.D.'s mom, Christina Trainor, said the town's support for their family has made them feel at home. "We moved in seven years ago, and at times I didn't always feel at home because I grew up out in Dildo, New Harbour," Trainor said. "I felt like I found my home in Paradise this past year, for everything they've done for us. The street naming is amazing." The renaming ceremony took place at the Paradise Double Ice Complex on Tuesday morning, an arena where J.D. spent hours practicing and competing. His story gained attention during the IIHF World Junior tournament in December when TSN anchor James Duthie sent a message to J.D. during one of his broadcasts. J.D. was diagnosed with cancer while attending King's-Edgehill School in Nova Scotia. J.D. was a prolific player, and earned himself a spot on an array of teams, including the Paradise Warriors and the Mount Pearl Senior High Huskies. The community filled the Paradise Double Ice Complex to show support for J.D. when the Huskies held a fundraiser game for cancer against the Holy Spirit Falcons. WATCH | Family and friends gather to name a street in J.D. Trainor's honour: Teen hockey player remembered with new street name in Paradise 2 hours ago Duration 2:06 J.D.'s club hockey teammates wore helmet stickers with his hockey number on them so he could be part of the games he couldn't physically play. After he died, the Trainors received an outpouring of messages from NHL players offering their condolences. Premier Andrew Furey was one of many who called the family. Furey said J.D. exercised the meaning of life. "Helmet stickers, tribute games, paintings, and heartfelt messages all show how far J.D. Trainor's influence reached," Furey said. "J.D. Trainor Street will serve as a reminder — to live with compassion, to face life's battles with courage, and to love fiercely, just as he did."

Los Angeles traffic stop leads to major arrest after K-9 finds 50 pounds of meth
What started as an average traffic stop in East Los Angeles turned into a major drug bust arrest with the help of a K-9, officials announced Monday. The California Highway Patrol said it happened during the early morning hours of April 10. Two officers with the CHP's East L.A. division pulled over a vehicle traveling northbound on the I-5 Freeway for a 'mechanical violation,' according to the department's Instagram post. 'However,' the caption read, 'their investigation uncovered much more.' With the help of a K-9 named J.D., the officers uncovered about 50 pounds of methamphetamine in the driver's vehicle. Details are limited, and officials did not immediately identify the suspect or state the exact charges, but CHP called the incident a 'major arrest.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
