In a recent interview, actor John C. McGinley expressed his immense joy at reuniting with his longtime Scrubs co-star and close friend Christa Miller for the show's revival. McGinley, who plays Dr. Cox, said it felt like "riding a bike" to work with Miller again as her character Jordan, describing her as "the greatest" and praising her comedic talents.
Why it matters
The reunion of Dr. Cox and Jordan, two of Scrubs' most iconic and beloved characters, is an exciting development for fans of the show. Their dynamic, marked by equal parts love and antagonism, was a highlight of the original series, and seeing the actors' real-life friendship shine through is sure to make their on-screen interactions all the more compelling.
The details
McGinley and Miller recently spent a couple of weeks together filming new Scrubs episodes in Vancouver. McGinley described their rapport as effortless, saying "it was like falling out of bed" to work with Miller again. He praised her comedic talents and facility for "rapid-fire screwball" dialogue, noting that she "absolutely crushes" her scenes in the revival's later episodes.
- Scrubs premiered on the 2026 TV schedule after over a decade and a half away.
- Christa Miller will return to the show later this season.

“It was like riding a bike, like falling out of bed, whatever the saying is. She is the Jane Russell of her generation. She can do rapid-fire screwball the way it was supposed to be. Her facility for really complicated text is astonishing. She's having an awesome season in Shrinking, and she absolutely crushes the last couple episodes of Scrubs.”
