Tom Cavanagh will be back this season on Scrubs, for at least one episode. He will play J.D.’s brother, Dan Dorian, in episode three.

ACK! Ausiello has the scoop that someone from Scrubs will be leaving at the mid-season mark…. and by major he means someone who is currently listed in the opening credits.

Zach Braff has made it well known he wasn’t too eager to return for the seventh season… but he does have that pretty pricey contract that gives him incentive to stick around.

Thoughts?

If you loved the music in the Scrubs musical episode - My Musical - you are in luck. The soundtrack is now available for download on iTunes.

The episode, which was simply titled “My Musical,” was nominated for five Emmy Awards, and the soundtrack includes four songs penned by Avenue Q composers Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx: “Welcome to Sacred Heart,” “Everything Comes Down to Poo,” “The Truth Comes Out” and “Finale: Friends Forever/What’s Going to Happen.” Both “Poo” and “Guy Love” were nominated for Emmy Awards; the latter was written by “Scrubs” supervising producer Debra Fordham, Jan Stevens and Paul Perry.

D’Abruzzo can be heard on the many of the tracks, which have been remastered for downloading. And, Tony winner Karen Ziemba, who had a cameo on the episode, can also be heard on the soundtrack.

Need a little refresher? Here is the song “Everything Comes Down to Poo“.

According to Ausiello, looks like Zack Braff will be the highest paid male sitcom star (so far) next season.

It’s not official, but a reliable source deep within the bowels of NBC tells me that Scrubs has been renewed for a seventh and slightly-shortened 18-episode final season.

Sounds like Zack fans can breathe a sigh of relief!

Guess NBC & Scrubs got more than a little concerned about Zach Braff’s comments that he would not return for a seventh season on Scrubs if NBC did renew the series. He has now scored a huge payday, provided the series gets renewed for next season.

Zach Braff is about to land a big payday, as long as his hospital comedy “Scrubs” gets renewed by NBC for a seventh season.

The actor has cut a one-year deal with “Scrubs” producer ABC TV Studio that will pay him about $350,000 per episode for the 2007-08 season of “Scrubs,” sources said. Each season consists of about two dozen episodes.

Braff’s deal is contingent on NBC picking up the show for a seventh year, which is expected, notwithstanding its lowly season-to-date viewership of 6.9 million people, according to Nielsen Media Research.

I am sure Scrubs fans will be pleased… let’s face it, he IS Scrubs. And Scrubs with out Zach… well, good thing we won’t have to find out, at least not for another year, anyway!

Zach Braff told Access Hollywood that if Scrubs is renewed for another season, he is 90% sure he won’t be back. And why, you might ask? Because he wants to do more movies.

Now, history has proven time and time again that if you leave a hit tv series to do movies, chances are pretty good that whatever you do will flop. Think David Caruso’s infamous departure from NYPD Blue, declaring that the show would fail when he left and his overinflated ego was far greater than any movie success he had. He was just lucky a network gave him another chance years later with CSI: Miami. There is also David Duchovny leaving X-Files, Mischa Barton leaving the O.C., and so on and so on.

He says “Scrubs” has changed his life, but he wants to leave when the show is “on top” and before it jumps the shark.

Always nice to be telling the media you think your series is going to jump the shark. And as far as a promising movie career… let’s just say the only project most people would recognize is Chicken Little, and he merely did the voice for that.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out for both Scrubs and Zach. And for someone who is still pretty B-list, he seems to have an A+ list ego going on. I hope Scrubs comes back without him and bring in a McDreamy or McSteamy type to the show.

Don’t forget that tonight is the night that Scrubs will be spoofing House on an all new episode tonight. The episode, aptly titled My House, has had quite a bit of buzz around it (although not quite as much as the upcoming musical episode & infamous Poo song)

Dr. Cox feels a bit like the title character of the TV show “House” when he’s confronted with solving three mysteries: two are medical-related, and the third involves Elliot, who is angry at Kelso, but taking it out on Turk. Meanwhile, Carla seems to be experiencing the baby blues, and J.D. tries to make himself the perfect boyfriend for Kim (Elizabeth Banks). Headrick: Dave Foley.

Perry channelling House should be hysterical!

And if you want to catch the real House, new episodes start airing next week!

We first reported that Scrubs would be doing a special musical episode with Avenue Q star Stephanie D’Abruzzo. Well they have now released one of the songs that will appear in the episode.

The song is — and I kid you not — “Everything Comes Down to Poo”.

This episode air January 18th on NBC.

This video was made during the third season of Scrubs, and features A Charlie Brown Christmas with voices, clips and more from the cast of Scrubs. It’s ten minutes long and pretty funny! (If you don’t see the video, hit reload).

You gotta love it. Kristen from E! says that the team from Scrubs bhas set their fourth episode of the season to be an episode that makes fun of the FOX show House, M.D.!

The fourth episode is titled “My House” and makes a total mockery of Fox’s Gregory House, M.D.! Apparently Dr. Cox will solve several medical mysteries in a short period of time.

This should be hysterical, and if they market it right, could also garner some House fans along the way.

Gotta give them credit for trying something a little bit on the wacky side. Their January 18th episode will be an entirely musical episode, with a healthy dose of Avenue Q inspiration working behind it.

Former Avenue Q star Stephanie D’Abruzzo will appear in the episode in a role written especially for her.

The episode will features songs by Avenue Q composer/lyricists Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx. The episode is called “My Musical” and is tentatively scheduled to air on NBC Jan. 18, 2007, at 9 PM ET. “The general plot,” supervising producer Debra Fordham told Playbill.com, “is that a woman comes into Sacred Heart, our hospital, complaining that she constantly hears music, yet all her tests come back normal. Is she just crazy? Or is something else going on?” Fordham specifically wrote the part for D’Abruzzo after seeing her in another off-Broadway show this past spring.

Scrubs is one of those proven-yet-not-a-runaway-hit shows that seems to get shuffled around and put off til later. Well, later is here and Scrubs has been given its launch date for the sixth season of the comedy series.

Scrubs will premiere on November 30th at 9pm on NBC. Unfortunately, that is the toughest time slot of the week, airing against Grey’s Anatomy, The O.C., CSI and Supernatural. OUCH!

Hot on the shelves today is season four of Scrubs on DVD.  Pick it up at Amazon or your favorite online or offline retailer.  Seasons 1 through 3 are also available on DVD.

Judy Reyes, who portrays nurse Carla Espinosa on Scubs had to have surgery after fracturing her pelvis in a fall at her home.

Her rep, Monique Ward, commented on the fall to People Magazine.

“She had surgery to repair it on Thursday. She didn’t realize it was as bad as it was and still went to work. Once there, she realized she needed medical treatment. She went to a hospital from the set.”

Scrubs will rework scenes for Judy as well as film some while she recovers.  She will be requiring crutches for six weeks while her pelvis heals.
