There's been plenty of doubt regarding the return of Scrubs [Med School] for another season, and it looks like things are looking even bleaker for the ABC comedy. Lead actor Zach Braff has already quit roaming the halls of Sacred Heart, and now another main star could follow his footsteps.
Donald Faison, who has played Dr. Christopher Turk for years in the series, has reportedly been cast in a new CBS pilot known as The Odds. Since he's going to be extremely occupied there, what could this mean for the fate of Bill Lawrence's Scrubs?
According to a report by
TV Guide, the 35-year-old actor has snagged the part of Tyler, a lead homicide detective on the upcoming police comedy.
The Odds is set in Las Vegas, featuring outrageous cops and crimes that will keep us wondering. And laughing, of course.
The Odds was created by Joel Silver
of Moonlight fame and Jeff Wadlow of
The Tower of Babble. There's no exact release date for that yet, but we're still too busy worrying about our quirky hospital comedy to bother.
Apparently,
Scrubs is still hanging there. We won't know if it will get picked up for another season until May, but Faison's involvement on
The Odds won't affect it all that much. Production has already concluded for this installment of the Bill Lawrence comedy anyway.
As with the introduction of the ninth season of
Scrubs, fans still have mixed feelings about giving the show another shot. Recently, it seems like the series hasn't obtained its former glory yet.
Worse, Donald Faison could finally be stepping out of the picture. Maybe even he knows that the show has run its course. We're not sure how he'll fare on
The Odds though, but we do wish him luck.
Personally, I might be able to live with a Turk-less version of
Scrubs. It could still be bearable at some point. But if they take out Perry Cox and Denise? No thanks; that really wouldn't work.
