The biggest gut punch of ABC’s Scrubs revival is a quick line halfway through the premiere. JD (Zach Braff) and Elliot (Sarah Chalke) talk on-screen for the first time in over 15 years, and JD drops this voiceover bombshell: “By the way, our marriage didn’t work out.”
The premiere, airing this Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET, establishes that JD and Elliot are divorced. We don’t know exactly when they split up, but the wounds are fresh enough that the two are still bitter.
Throughout the four episodes released to critics in advance, JD and Elliot gradually establish a functional post-divorce relationship. They realize that even if they don’t work as a couple, they can still be good friends and co-workers. But haven’t we seen this before?
