I'm glad that "Scrubs" is probably going to get a proper send-off, but I seriously doubt it will last more than one more season. I can see Sarah on a few "HIMYM" episodes next season, and potentially joining full-time once "Scrubs" is gone. There is part of me that wants Chalke to make the jump next season, and be on "HIMYM" full-time and only part-time on "Scrubs". This could work since they've been trying to get rid of Elliott for that past two seasons, but they keep bringing her back. I really don't think Stella is the mother, despite the fact that I want her to be. I doubt they'd introduce the mother this early, and there's some logistics to think about (i.e. the kids would know if they had a 30 year old step-sister, and their mom's name, but there could be a twist coming). I'm not too worried about season 4 of "HIMYM". To my knowledge, CBS hasn't had its upfront meeting yet so there's still hope. 716279@blogcritics.org Thu, 8 May 2008 00:11:11 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/06/203955.php#comment-716144 i think all of the scrubs stuff is moot. when the show originally wrote the role of stella it was not going to be played by chalke, rather it was going to be alicia silverstone. when they cast britney spears as her secretary, silverstone backed out because she thought spears would take away the spotlight from the stella character. chalk was chosen as a quick replacement. now, i dont know if there is any truth to stella being the mother of the title, but it would have originally had nothing to do with chalkes schedule, or that of scrubs. 716144@blogcritics.org Wed, 7 May 2008 14:28:03 EDT
