The Scrubs cast has a real-life bond, even when the show ends filming, according to Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke. Braff, who plays Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian, said the cast's connection is "real" and comes across in the show. They also spend time together outside of work, including outings with John C. McGinley and showrunner Bill Lawrence. The cast also shared their love for each other and shared their off-camera friendships. Despite the show ending in season 10, Braff remains committed to working with Lawrence.
