As the Scrubs revival prepares to arrive, several original cast members are returning, including Judy Reyes' Carla Espinosa, John C. McGinley's Perry Cox, Zach Braff's John Dorian, Donald Faison's Christopher Turk and Sarah Chalke's Elliot Reid. Reyes said the cast's decision to come back hinged on one condition: "Just that was the stipulation for all of us to be a part of it."

The energy was really electric. People hung out afterwards. They took pictures. They talked about how excited they were, and we knew we had something."

The new episodes begin airing Feb.
