Dead nurse returns to Scrubs

by Bob Sassone, posted Jun 15th 2007 2:40PM

Aloma WrightWell, sort of.

Aloma Wright will return to the show this fall, even though her character, Nurse Roberts, was killed off earlier this season. It's part of a deal that she made with Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence: if the show returned for another season, then she could return to the show as Roberts' twin sister Shirley. She'll wear a wig.

Lawrence wasn't sure if there would be another season of the show when he planned her death, but now that they are returning after all he's going to stick to the deal. Which is a good thing. I really liked her character, and if the character can't come back at least the actress can.

Scrubs is more jumping a herd of Dolphins.

None-the-less, I frakking adore laverne, and if this was any otherr show (cough lost cough) I would be pissed about the double twin thing even if I was glad to see dominic monaghan again, but anyway, enough about hobbits, I'm super excited for this.

Shirley seems to be the go to name for twins (AD's maebe and shirley)

How many sharks can a single show jump?

Wow, while this isn't a clincher for me not watching next season if this is combined with Elliot and JD "getting back together"... I really am out as well. But I'm out if JD and Elliot get back together anyhow.

I don't know what the big deal is. I think it'll be pretty funny to see her "twin sister" walking around the hospital.

Again, I think people are overreacting a bit with the "jump the shark" comments...

This isn't jumping the shark. It's creator Bill Lawrence being perhaps a bit too nice.

That's ridiculous. I'd rather start the season with Bambi waking up from a dream ...

I'm glad they're bringing her back, even if it is a different character. It felt like there was a hole that needed to be filled, and it'd just be like quirky Scrubs to bring someone back as their own twin. ;)
