Latest Scrubs Speculation @ the Dish ... which is quite possibly false and should be taken with a grain of salt

Last ones, then I'm out.
For the anon asking, I dont have info on Scrubs. I was asked about the casting of "Lisa" and didnt know and said so. Again, I dont have anything on them at the moment. My guess is their material will show up in the next set of breakdowns to be honest.

Reposting as some has been verified by SID:
Lisa arrives and stirs up memories for Patrick. Matt instantly is drawn to her. Patrick is jealous and envious of the carefree relationship. Patrick and Robin feel they fall short. Problems arise.

For Those Who Like The Interaction With these Characters, It's a Tough Road
Robin/Patrick/Matt/Lisa
Spinelli/Maxie
Olivia/Johnny/Sonny/Dante
Jax/Carly

2. I posted a lot of the questions you've asked me already. Matt likes Lisa, Patrick is reminded of his golden old days, there is a jealousy there. Robin will sense Patrick's displeasure. There is a lot of trying to please this one, and not getting it.

Possible couples ending early 2010:
Carly and Jax
Patrick and Robin
Elizabeth and Nik
Elizabeth and Lucky
Spinelli and Maxie
Jason and Sam
Patrick and Robin
Johnny and Olivia
No agenda here, just dropping info. Take it or leave it. Love it or hate.

Scrubs:
Deja vu? Patricks old flame heads to town. Robin invites her to stay with them (Robert, Anna, Holly anyone?). Matt takes an interest and Patrick takes offense, leaving Robin scrambling to hold on to her man.

Before I go, I'm going to be very clear
Niz sex on the 6th-- may or may not happen. For s/l purposes they wanted LL2 engaged and to have sex (which is week of the 9th) before Niz have sex--which is on the 19th. I am not saying Liz is pregnant.
For Jasam and MOC, it really depends on how you define it.
Next time, Lante and Scrubs

I'm pretty sure this is the role that Greg Vaughan got. (on 90210)
Casting Call - episode 213
[KAI] Male, Late 20s - 30s. Open ethnicity. Super sexy and in shape. Love interest to a series regular. A yoga instructor with a piercing gaze, calm intensity, very zen. Someone who can do yoga would be plus. Someone that could talk while bending his legs around his neck would a bonus.

10/29/09 -
tried to do this earlier today but AOL had issues.
Just a few confirms and denials. Hope this helps..
1. LL2/Niz triangle? Yes Baby? No.
2. Jasam MOC? Yes
3. Sexis sex? No
4. Franco connected to Alcazars? No
5. Scrubs marital problems? Yes. Infidelity? No
6.Genie returning? In the works for Feb but nothing definite thus far.
More to come.

10/31/09 -
Begging here, are scrubs involved in the romance?
I know I promised Lante and Scrubs-- I just dont have details yet.
Amananon, I know you said you have no scrubs details but do you know the outline of their story even if you can't spill. And what do you think about it?
I dont think remember
I know Lisa calls on the 11th and Robin tells Patrick she is fine with him talking to her. Something along the lines of that. I believe Robin's insecurity is brought up-- in that she says she is fine with it.
But honestly, I have no more details on Scrubs. I had already told you about the phone call. When I do, I will drop it.
I owe Scrubs and Lante spoilers.

Be grateful if your favorites are not sick from the toxins because that means you will be seeing a lot of them. The sick ones are a way for RG, to not do much with those characters. Monica, Liz, Leyla, Trevor and Kate.

People just haven't been paying attention, instead think these are testings between new couples, etc. Everyone Patrick is having "poignant" scenes may be WTF, but these are all the characters who will most be affected during the toxin arc.

Next on General Hospital:
Patrick tries to stop a catastrophe at the hospital.

Ohhh do scrubs, please !!
" I need to know if Robin and Emma are ok"

This is all I know. I won't answer any follow ups. I'm posting against my better judgement.
1. Guza was in the office today.
2. CC's downgrade came from NL's insecurities...plus the contract was up Feb. 8.
3. Olivia will be a contract role soon.
4. Sonya Eddy will likely be back on recurring within 6 months.
5. Those about to enter contract negotiations are going to have a much more difficult go of it than those that just re-signed.
6. Monthly minimums are going over better than initially believed.
7. My supervisor was on the phone with Sweeney today for about half an hour. May have been about the restructure that was announced a few hours later.
8. Frons is very pleased with this crisis storyline.
9. Talks with Rao are at a stalemate.
10. I am the best insider you have.
BUBINSIDER
--
[the media release about the merging of ABC's division/units] It means Sweeney is much more involved in the television unit of Disney and they will do anything to save money. Control of ABCD could easily be taken.
BUBINSIDER
Guza will get a CO-HW before he his let go.
High ups are waiting to see how the ratings for phase II of the crisis goes before acting.
Will there be any other actors let go?
I don't know of any confirmations, but payroll for Feb is smaller, than Jan, and Mar. is forecasted to be smaller than Feb. April forecasts aren't due until Jan 30.
BUBINSIDER
Thanks. And would you attribute this to not working the performers so far beyond their minimums or contract roles being released?
All of the above, plus they are using less and less of their recurring characters.
I don't have storyline info, but everyone is talking about how great the performances are during Phase II. Frons is very happy with those episodes and sees this week as a solid build up.

TV Guide Canada Suds report:
• Don’t believe all those Night Shift 3 rumours floating around online. Head writer Sri Rao sets the record straight by telling the Suds Report, “I’m not joining GH, and no one has contacted me about penning Night Shift 3. And if there are plans for a NS3, it’s news to me.” Moreover, Rao wants to clarify he didn’t pen this week’s Scrubs wedding. “I had nothing to do with it,” he answers. Translation: the nuptials will suck you-know-what.
• If you’re like everyone else on the planet and fell in love with Rao creations Claire, Eric, Patricia, and Kyle, you Sri out of luck. According to the show’s publicist, “there are no immediate plans to bring any of the characters back to GH,” reports Soap Opera Weekly.

I didn't mean to say that no one else would be on the week of November 3rd but it is very heavy Jason and Jason/Sam; Sonny and S&C; and Scrubs.
I can't stick around. I'll try to come back tomorrow.
GG
They share scenes every day. He is concerned about her. When he goes to visit Robin he brings up how Sam had the same thing to Patrick.

they talk about sam's baby?
Not Jasam. Jason to Patrick.
Why would he talk about a dead baby to a man whose baby might have medical issues?
He isn't. He's talking to Patrick about how Sam had the same condition Robin did and clearly Sam lived. Maybe in his own way he's trying to give Patrick some words of comfort?

10/25
Is Jax at Scrubs' wedding?
The following people are there:
Anna
Mac
Maxie
Coleman
Kelly
Epiphany
Liz
Bobbie
Sonny
Jason
Spinelli
Matt drives Patrick there but doesn't stay because he's not dressed for it.
