Winner of a prestigious Humanitas Prize and nominated for two Emmy Awards and a People’s Choice Award in its debut season, “Scrubs” focuses on the strange experiences of fresh-faced medical intern John “J.D.” Dorian (Zach Braff, “The Broken Hearts Club”) as he embarks on his healing career in a surreal hospital crammed full of unpredictable staffers and patients – where humor and tragedy can merge paths at any time.
Joining the rumpled J.D. at Sacred Heart Hospital are fellow interns Chris Turk (Donald Faison, “Remember the Titans,” “Felicity”) -- J.D.’s college buddy who is part of the more elite surgical group, and the beautiful but socially awkward Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke, “Roseanne”).
Keeping a watchful eye over these young doctors are the caustic chief of medicine, Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins, “Courage Under Fire”); the abrasive but caring Dr. Perry Cox (John C. McGinley, “Wall Street,” “Platoon”); and no-nonsense nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes, “Oz”). Neil Flynn (“Magnolia”) also portrays J.D.’s nemesis, the hospital janitor, who never seems to miss an opportunity to harass his target.
Named a “Future Classic” by the TV Land cable network, “Scrubs” averaged a 5.3 rating and a 13 share among adults 18-49 in its first season and is the highest-rated new comedy series to return for the 2002-03 season.

BURBANK, Calif. -- Popular television actress Heather Locklear (“Spin City,” “Melrose Place”) has signed on to guest-star in two episodes of NBC’s Emmy Award-nominated comedy series “Scrubs” this November. Locklear will portray a pharmaceutical sales representative who catches the attention of Dr. Cox, played by John C. McGinley.
Best known for her starring roles in two of television’s classic primetime soaps, first as Sammy Jo in “Dynasty” and later as Amanda in “Melrose Place,” Locklear also received critical praise for her comedic role as Caitlin in “Spin City.” Locklear’s first starring role came in the mid-1980’s cop show “T.J. Hooker,” opposite William Shatner. She has also appeared in such classic TV series as “CHiPs,” “Eight is Enough,” “The Fall Guy,” “Fantasy Island,” “The Love Boat,” “The Drew Carey Show” and “Ally McBeal,” among others.
