*Warning: contains spoilers for new Scrubs reboot*

Scrubs fans have been left in “tears” as they asked the same question about Dr Perry Cox following the return of a brand new series.

After almost two decades, a brand new season of Scrubs has finally been released to Disney Plus. Fans saw the return of familiar faces such as Zach Braff as John ‘J.D’ Dorian, Donald Faison as Christopher Turk and Sarah Chalke as Elliot Reid.

Despite only two episodes being released so far, the Scrubs reboot has delivered bombshell moments such as the revelation that JD and Elliot are now divorced with two kids, with Carla and Turk, who remain happily married, have four children.

However, it was the end of the first episode that left viewers stunned after Dr Cox’s unexpected revelation. After convincing JD to return to Sacred Heart, he revealed he would not be working with his mentor, but instead will be replacing him.

In emotional scenes Dr Cox said: “You’re not going to be working with me. You’re going to be me.”

He continued: “This particular world has passed me by. You are the only one I trust to do better and try harder.”

Fans were worried what this means for Dr Cox now as they took to social media to ask what will happen to the favourite character. One person wrote on X: “Wait Dr. Cox isn’t going to be regular, or Carla? Oh, no.”

Another said: “If Dr. Cox comes back to #Scrubs as a patient I will riot!!!”

A third penned: “I really enjoyed the revival #scrubs on Wednesday night. Was it perfect? Hardly. Did I feel jaded when Dr. Cox disappeared after episode 1? Yes. But watching the premiere felt nostalgic from a time where we could just watch a comedy and chuckle.”

A fourth worried: “They took Dr. Cox picture down. @scrubsabc DO NOT do us dirty and kill him off or something. He needs to be around.”

One person simply added: “I feel robbed of Dr Cox oh well.”

Over on Reddit, one worried user asked: “Is Cox going to retire, or is he going to get a new job in the show?” However, many agreed they would see Cox “retire” as they “demand answers”.

In an interview with Deadline, creator Bill Lawrence previously spoke about Cox’s retirement adding: “Dr. Cox is a huge character on the show. He comes back at the end of the year and will continue on next year.”

As the brand new series returned, many fans have been “in tears” as one person wrote: “I’m not ashamed to say I cried a few tears in the first episode.”

Another said: “I missed seeing JD day dream #Scrubs shedding tears as I’m watching.” A third replied: “Just watched the first episode. It was great. Got me right in the feels..”
