I'm glad they'll be bringing back Eliza Coupe, but I also liked the perpetually happy intern. I thought she was hilarious.

I'm still very skeptical about this idea.

'Scrubs' exclusive: Eliza Coupe upgraded to regular

Congratulations are in order to Eliza Coupe: Scrubs has officially promoted the actress to a series regular.

Scrubs boss Bill Lawrence recently hinted that Coupe's hilariously insensitive intern, Denise (a.k.a. "Jo"), would play an integral part in next season's med school reboot. "I really like Eliza," he told me last month. "I think she's a really interesting actress and we didn't give her a full character [last season]. I think she's hyper-talented."

No argument here.

Coupe joins a refreshed ensemble that will include three or four new regulars in addition to returning vets Donald Faison and John C. McGinley. Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes and Ken Jenkins are expected to make guest appearances.

I wish/still hope that they'll get back all of the interns from last season and have Eliza b/come the anchor of this show (ala Zach) b/c she is so talented.

Eliza really was a major highlight of the past season. Really glad to know she's going to be around full-time
