Big changes for 'Scrubs' 9th season

The surprising 9th season of 'Scrubs' will bring big changes to the ABC comedy.

The show will make a move from the familiar surrounding of Sacred Heart Hospital to the classrooms of a medical school. Dr. Christopher Turk and Dr. Cox will become the main players on the show.

Series creator Bill Lawrence told Entertainment Weekly, "It's going to be a different show. It'll still be life-and-death stakes, but if the show is just Scrubs again in the hospital with a different person's voiceover, it would be a disaster, and people would be mad."

But fans of the old 'Scrubs' fear not. Lawrence promises that now and then, students will visit Sacred Heart, where they will run into old cast members Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes and Ken Jenkins, who will all return as guests throughout the season.

Zach Braff's character JD left Sacred Heart at the end of last season, so we're not too sure how he would end up back at Sacred Heart.

At least half of the cast next season will be new hires, among which will be a big name actor. "ABC is really after us to hire a big name," Lawrence said. "So one of them will be fairly famous."
