This Underrated Scrubs Side Character Must Return In Season 10 To Make Up For A Major Disappointment
Mar 9, 2025
Scrubs was filled with colorful side characters who all contributed to the sitcom's original era, but the Scrubs revival owes one deceptively pivotal figure a comeback after their story took a downward turn from which they never recovered. Although the character in question didn't appear in all nine seasons of Scrubs, they did star in 39 episodes. So, there's no denying they were more than just a guest star, and I really hope season 10 recalls them to correct how showrunner Bill Lawrence shaped their story.
Although Lawrence has confirmed he'll be involved with the Scrubs revival, the show's creator has also announced that his role will be different this time around, with a new showrunner replacing him. However, the fact that Lawrence will still influence Scrubs season 10 means there will be a strong sense of consistency. As such, I expect to see plenty of references and callbacks to the first nine runs that aired between 2001 and 2010. Among these nods to Scrubs' golden era, I have my fingers crossed for the comeback of Travis Schuldt's recurring character.

Keith Didn't Deserve What Happened To Him In Scrubs Season 6

Elliot calling off the Dudemeister-Reid wedding was expected, but unfair

Introduced to the show in 2006, Travis Schuldt's Keith Dudemeister was a major part of Scrubs seasons 5 and 6, before his appearances rapidly dwindled in seasons 7 and 8, and vanished in season 9. It initially seemed unclear why he was being featured so heavily, and then I realized Keith was slowly becoming a love interest for Dr. Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke). Although he often clashed with Zach Braff's Dr. John "JD" Dorian, it was these comical moments that were charged by JD's irrational dislike of Keith that were part of what made Schuldt's character so endearing.
