However, there’s no denying a gaping plot hole from their final days ofScrubsseason 8.
The exit of Braff’s character was highly emotional, but there was logic behind his decision.
To do this,JD had to leave Sacred Heart because of the length of his commute.
Weirdly, Elliot remained on the hospital’s payroll.
Confusingly, Elliot is still making the trip to the hospital every day for work.
Chalke’sScrubscharacter didn’t leave Sacred Heart with JD, which doesn’t make any sense.
Confusingly, Elliot is still making the trip to the hospital every day for work.
The alternative is that JD didn’t move far, and they both still live close to Sacred Heart.
Neither explanation is particularly satisfactory.
Scrubs is a Sitcom and Medical Comedy/Drama created by Bill Lawrence that follows a group of medical students throughout their daily lives at the Sacred Heart Teaching Hospital. The series stars Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, and Donald Faison, as they work their way up from Medical Interns while juggling all sorts of hospital shenanigans.
Really, Elliot should have left too.
That, plus the fact he was the only one leaving the sitcom’s main setting.
Elliot departing with JD onscreen would have been a little weird.
