10 TV Characters You NEVER Thought Would Return

10. J.D. - Scrubs

Scrubs was once a beloved sitcom that, after a somewhat shaky seventh season, achieved what most TV shows fail to and concluded in a strong and satisfying way in season eight. Then came a ninth season so bad that many fans of the show don't even acknowledge it.

After a heartfelt conclusion to the show, Scrubs returned for 13 episodes, with new young doctors and only a handful of the returning cast, and it's generally agreed upon that it was a poor showing. This seemed to have been the final nail in the coffin.

However, 15 years later Scrubs is officially rebooting. Described as exploring where some of the original characters are now as doctors, and who are the new interns there, this is equal parts exciting and concerning for fans of the show as this describes almost exactly the premise of season nine. One aspect that can only be a good thing, though, is the return of J.D.

Zach Braff has moved more so behind the camera since his days on Scrubs, but to have the main character return is a huge deal. Part of the problem with season nine was that it didn't really feel like Scrubs without John Dorian's inner monologue, but hopefully the reboot can amend this.
