    Donald Faison admits JD and Turk's bromance on Scrubs is "way stronger" than his and Zach Braff's

    The two actors are close friends after playing best friends JD Dorian and Christopher Turk on the beloved hospital sitcom from 2001 to 2009, and while the bond is still there, the 51-year-old star admitted real life has its own set of challenges.


    He told Extra: "I think J.D. and Turk's bromance is way stronger than Zach and my bromance.

    "Turk and JD live in a fantasy world, their fights... it could be the biggest fight ever, and they figure it out in 30 minutes, whereas it takes a little bit more time for Zach and I."

    The beloved show, which was created by Bill Lawrence, is returning this week with a new season after 15 years, and Zach, 50, admitted it's something the cast always hoped could happen.

    He added: "We daydreamed about doing something, whether it was like a TV movie or, you know, a limited series.

    "I certainly never expected to be back on primetime ABC with Hulu the next day. That's not something that was ever a daydream."

    Zach and Donald are back alongside Sarah Chalke as Elliot, with Judy Reyes and John C. McGinley also returning for the revival as Carla and Dr. Cox respectively.

    Meanwhile, creator Bill recently opened up on what Zach wanted from the revival.

    He told The Hollywood Reporter: "We're rebooting Scrubs, and I don't get to work on it a ton because I'm at Warner Brothers and it's a Disney show, but a lot of the original writers and cast got to help out on the pilot.

    "One of the first things Zach Braff said was, 'I cannot be a 50-year-old doing the same things. I have to be older, I have to be more mature'.

    "I remember once during like the eighth season of the original show, a journalist asking Zach, how do you think your character has changed since the first year?

    "He goes, 'I think I have a beard now.' Television can't do that anymore."

    Bill will still return to Scrubs - which originally ran for 182 episodes - as ex ecutive producer.

    He previously said in a statement: "Scrubs means so very much to me. So excited for the chance to get the band back together."
