Scrubs: 10 Worst Characters Who Appeared After Season 1

Just like Jake, some of the supporting characters in Scrubs who served as love-interests were never going to work out. When JD began a brief romance with Jordan's younger sister Danni there were so many warning signs from the very start that this was doomed.

Don't be fooled, Tara Reid played the uncouth and unhygienic younger version of Jordan expertly, and she can't be faulted there. What made Danni a groaning character on screen was she was typically one-note. While audiences shouldn't expect nuance from a cameo role, there was so many more dimensions to JD's previous entanglements (even Gift Shop Girl), one would think Jordan's sister would have at least one extra layer to her character sheet.

Had Danni not been a girlfriend of JD's, and been more of a thorn in Dr. Cox and Jordan's sides, Danni might have been a more fun character to watch on screen.

Even when she inevitably broke up with JD, her returns after would have been fun if there was anything else for her character to add. Even when her brother passed away, we aren't treated to a glimpse of her sorrowful reaction - something that could have enhanced and even broadened the character.

Instead, Danni remained a drinking lush that was made fun of by the other characters. Scrubs did a great job enhancing most of its supporting characters, even the weak ones, but did absolutely nothing with this one.

I overthink a lot of things. Will talk about pretty much anything for a great length of time. I'm obsessed with General Slocum from the 2002 Spider-Man film. I have questions that were never answered in that entire trilogy!
