After a two-season stint on the black comedy Dirt, actress Courteney Cox is returning to the genre she knows best: the sitcom.
According to Entertainment Weekly scribe Michael Ausiello, Cox is checking into hospital comedy Scrubs in its upcoming eighth season. Ausiello reports that Cox will appear in a three-episode story arc, playing the new Chief of Medicine at Sacred Heart Hospital.
But how will Scrubs doctors JD (Zach Braff), Elliot (Sarah Chalke) and the cranky Perry (John C. McGinley) Cox take to Cox's as-yet-unnamed character? Not too well, apparently: an insider revealed that she'll "ruffle feathers".
Spoiler alert: Cox's character will take over from Scrubs' former Chief of Medicine Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins), the cold-hearted doctor who steps down from the top job at the end of season seven. Bill Lawrence reportedly wanted a big-name actor to play Kelso's replacement, and it seems he's found such a star in Cox.
Cox became a household name playing neat freak Monica Gellar in Friends for 10 seasons. She later starred in tabloid-themed dramedy Dirt, which was unexpectedly cancelled earlier in 2008.
