Scrubs Revival: Will Dr. Kelso Get a Better Storyline?

Scrubs is a legendary comedy-drama series that left a lasting mark on fans for years and years! The creators of the show, have already made a lot of buzz because they look to be making a huge return! And as that comes out for viewers to watch it is a perfect opportunity to right some wrongs.

An Exciting Reunion:

With the show on its way back. Fans are super excited and it could be a way for a favorite character to come back!

That's because Scrubs creators have some plans! So to get even more attention from the show's incredibly devoted fans they might just give a new chapter and story to a well known character in the show.

An Unfortunate Arc for Kelso

One of the series' main stars who was integral for the show is Ken Jenkins. He played the part of Dr. Robert "Bob" Kelso. Fans got a really great story when they introduced Dr. Kelso's retirement, it was one that made everyone remember how funny the show was.

What makes it an odd turn? The show didn't really have a super defined path to create for him when he left the show.

What the show was planning, seemed interesting initially.
The character continued to linger around Sacred Heart, trying to give advice and help the characters along the way! You know it, the classic, "muffins for life."

While it was super entertaining to watch a couple of seasons! Fans got the feeling the story had just gotten too much, meaning it fell a little flat and not enough new developments really had that 'zing' that Scrubs was so well known for!

A Problem That Keeps Coming Back

Fans loved those memorable episodes, even if they weren't completely sold on the storylines.

But that was before they hit season 9. A key turn and where the series changed directions. It brought up new and exciting stories but it also highlighted just how limited Dr. Kelso’s role really was. Even after he retired!

A New Season, and Its Impact on Kelso:

While the writers did their best! It still feels like Dr. Kelso could end up feeling stuck and pointless, especially since Scrubs is in the midst of creating another season. And the biggest question? Dr. Cox is likely to be taking over!

Fans will know what happens as he grows up into a much more responsible role, but this is going to be an unforgettable moment, the older Dr. Cox.

It’s tough to think that Dr. Kelso could make an appearance without a solid storyline.

What else was an important factor? It's that a character called Ted from the show, died and he had been in the show's very first episodes, so audiences could be thinking how will Scrubs carry on, after this? You may have thought Scrubs needed more time, and now here is a real reason why. It’s definitely an opportunity, and while Ken Jenkins, has made his decision to be retired, he may make a surprise return! That could also be part of why they will want to revive this popular series!

Bringing Back A Beloved Character, But Better

There's only so much the writers can do! The story they put together at the time had Dr. Kelso sticking around Sacred Heart for some fun storylines, but for this upcoming revival! There's only one thing that will really give audiences something to celebrate, Dr. Kelso's absence! You won't be able to just have a character like him and not get the best of Dr. Kelso! It would be great if the show went back, or added more history to Dr. Kelso.

That means this series has a chance to right these wrongs and create a better arc for the character and potentially a series of fresh and original scenes!
We all know that this amazing, iconic show has been known for so many unique things, especially "Dr. Kelso's" outlandish stories of his day-to-day. They have to reintroduce something different that’s compelling and amazing to really re-establish what made this show special and iconic to a massive audience!

It looks like if there is one show that needs more development or some love in terms of fresh content and characters, it's the Scrubs universe! This incredible, exciting story is something fans of the series won't want to miss.

You will be able to see just what is so great about the beloved characters! Make sure to check out this series as it comes back and celebrate some of those heartwarming, inspiring, funny and often times absurd stories! If there was one series that needed a return or to come back for more! Scrubs definitely fits that bill!
