Faison hints at 'Scrubs' return

Scrubs star Donald Faison has hinted that he is open to returning for a ninth season of the hit medical sitcom.

The departures of main star Zach Braff and creator Bill Lawrence had fuelled speculation that the show would end this year. However, Faison has insisted that nothing has been confirmed yet.

"I don't know what's going to happen. I think a lot of people might come back if we're a fit on ABC, except Zach," he told TV Guide. "I'm not going to say no, but I'm not in position to say yes.

"Would I like to continue doing Scrubs? Of course. It's a great time. It not only made all my dreams come true, but it's a pretty easy job to do after eight years. Will I? I can't say yet."

The actor refused to clear up rumours that his on-screen wife Judy Reyes had also quit the show.

"Well, that's what she's quoted as saying. I don't know if she really feels that way. I don't want to speak for anybody. All I can tell you is that Zach is definitely not coming back."

Earlier this month, Lawrence suggested that the sitcom could continue for another season for economic reasons.
