This doesn’t come as much of a surprise to Scrubs’ fans, but Zach Braff will be leaving Scrubs at the end of this season. The news was confirmed at Wednesday’s ABC panel by executive producer Bill Lawrence.

Bill Lawrence explained that Scrubs was envisioned as ER as a comedy, with a cast of revolving characters.

Other Scrubs’ news includes a recent filming of wedding episode in the Bahamas – which one of the Sacred Heart staffers is tying the knot? Bill Lawrence spills the beans: “About once a year, we have to let [The Janitor] be a real person. So he’s getting married in the Bahamas.”
