Very insightful questions/information from Jason, Tracee & Lisa from their auction lunch

Highlights from Scrubs Board members (source)

• from Jen. She said they are at the 1st table right in front. They can't take pictures of him on stage or record anything.
• from Kristen, "He's here!" "So much tongue" "Was in Rome for a week!" "We're explaining the lack there of of Scrubs love."
• "Says Guza wants to drop Patrick to his knees and raise him up."
• "Refers to Leyla as 'the nurse.'"
• "A lot of Leyla talk." "Naz (Leyla) felt bad about being in the middle of Scrubs." "Now, going to tables."
• Yeah he called her the nurse when we said he couldn't say ________ name. He really didn't know much about the storyline. He wants Robin and Patrick back together. He was disappointed in NS and that there wasn't enough time to explain why Patrick does the things he does. He won't be on for 12-13 episodes.
• NS break up scene was the hardest scene he had to film, said holding back was the most difficult.
• From Jen: There may be a Scrubs event in Manhatten November 3rd
• from Kristen: "No questions were asked about Kimberly. But he did say that she did an amazing job on Night Shift. He hasn't seen a script in two weeks. Loved Rome. Didn't say much about the dream theory. Tried to avoid spoilers about it."
• He said thanks for always supporting Scrubs and without all of our support they would have been broken up long ago but what we all took from what he said that we need to keep supporting JT, KMC and Scrubs as we have been because because our voice is VERY important and how we respond could make a difference.
• From Deanne: Jason seemed quieter than normal. He hasn't been in LA in 2 1/2 weeks. He had to ask someone this morning what was happening on the show so that he would have some clue. He doesn't know what is going to happen between Robin/Patrick. He told Deanne that he hopes they get back together. What else, oh, JT was not happy with the way NS was done. He knows that the fans are not happy. All in all though - he looked HOT! Hair a little longer (although he likes it when it is shorter), jeans and a brown shirt. They were very strict and didn't allow pictures during the Q & A.

• Jason was wearing a brown sweater with elbow patches and dark jeans
• No videos allowed, apparently they were scolded about it by ABC when vids were posted of the Q&As
  
• He went to Montreal, Barcelona...had fun
• A lot of times, they don't have enough time, he said. To explain things and do things. He says they planned the breakup for NS, with the intent of getting them back together at the end, but with the success of the show, they may go for more of a cliffhanger ending (he is not giving things away just trying to explain, by his tone)
• He wasn't thrilled about a lot of things that happened.
• Heh, the response to him mentioning Leyla is hysterical and he says it like he was expecting that Something about him being almost a mentor to her or some crap.
• He said the break up was the hardest scene he had to do on NS
• He talks about how he wanted to play some scenes differently, with like looking back in the locker room and thinking it was Robin, but it's "the nurse" or other things that would show Patrick differently, but alas, no.
  
• There are times when he was just going through the motions, because it was too much to understand. But he has been cut off from GH in the past two weeks
• May not be on for 12 episodes
• Talked about how much they had with the Eli Love story
  
• He thinks she's insignificant as well, so not to worry.
• Oh dear, the talk about NB and her character, no matter what kind, is good for her, he said. It was a good opportunity for her to come between Scrubs, but she knew that she was in for it. She knows how much Scrubs is loved and can see the chem between the actors and how well they get along. Knows she is the interloper in all of this.
• Makes it even clearer that ANY talk about her is no good
  
• He is the only one so far from GH going to Super Soap Weekend
• There is not much electricity at the end of the tunnel (in response to whether there was a light at the end of the tunnel for NS)
• Breakup scenes were awkward this second time around.
• He said the race car scene with NB was very awkward to film.
• When the nurse came up to him in episode 9 of NS, he wanted to flip the order of the breakup to make more sense, but that wasn't gonna happen.
• He's kinda cut off from them, returns to work on Monday
• NS was topic of choice.have the feeling that this PA gave him a very clear picture that Scrubs fans did NOT like it. He was apologetic, but also understanding of how the industry works and things can change. He has a gift for answering questions, yet never really talking bad about his employers, fellow workers and the show. He is really very good at this PA business :) He can handle the crowd.
• Paraphrasing caveat: Sounds like JT is as thrown off by the change in NS as we are. The success of the show seems to make the IIC think that we like seeing this kind of crap on TV in regards to Scrubs. Breaking Scrubs up is painful for him to do, because they are such a good couple. He seems be very aware of how we feel about Scrubs on NS.
• Paraphrasing caveat: All talk of the nurse is bad, because she is generating conversation, and that seems to be all they care about to measure success.
• He wanted the upset shirt throwing scene to be after the break up with Robin to make it clear it was about Robin.
• The plan was to get them back together at the end of NS, but now it is more in the balance, with no clear answer. So they may get back together, but we will know they still have issues or some such.
• Jason told someone that he did not tape a scene sayingwhere Patrick was going to be for two weeks. He did say his last scenes filmed were with Kimberly and Naz. He did say that if those scenes were the breakup day or not.
