20 Things You Didn't Know About Scrubs
9. Crista Miller's Connection To The Showrunner
As noted, Crista Miller played a lead role in Bill Lawrence's other sitcom, Cougar Town. On Scrubs, she played Dr Cox's tough and hilariously confrontational wife/ex-wife/girlfriend, and though she was never considered a main character on the medical sitcom, Jordan was still one of its most enjoyable characters.
Behind-the-scenes, Miller and Lawrence are actually married, and have three children together. Jordan's two pregnancies were actually written into the show because Miller herself was pregnant with her own kids.
Other cast connections include Zach Braff and Mandy Moore, who dated both on the show and in real life. Also, Courteney Cox had a minor recurring role in Scrubs' eighth season, before going on to star alongside Miller in Cougar Town.
