Scrubs Aloma Wright's Return

Goalstopper recently posted a link to an article stating that Aloma Wright (Laverne) will be returning to Scrubs in the next series playing Laverne's twin sister, Shirley.

I just wondered what people's opinions were of this plot...

Bwahahaha, Laverne and Shirley, you've got to love Bill Lawrence. Brilliant.

The names are cool, but really, a twin? Isn't that a bit soap-opera-y?

Look at Scrubs and say half the storylines aren't soap opera-y :P

Ok, maybe, but still, reviving characters...

That's what makes Scrubs so genius, though. They take the completely absurd and make it work. After 6 seasons, I have complete faith in Bill Lawrence. And come on, twins Laverne and Shirley? Awesome. And from what it sounds like, Shirley will be the total opposite of Laverne, so I can only imagine Aloma Wright will have fun playing that. Can't wait to see it.

yeah I like this idea, as long as they don't make her exactly the same character as Laverne...

I'm a twin and I hate it when they think me and my sister have the same personality (I'd hate it more if we were identical)

Yer, i like the idea, i my opinion laverne was one of the show's best secondary characters. Just as long as they dont make her the same....

According to the same article, Shirley is going to be the total opposite of Laverne, which will be intresting I suppose. But I agree that it's all a bit soap-y and unoriginal.

soapy? twins exist in real life, but yeah I suppose it will ruin the whole Laverne's death being so moving thing.

Soap-y because we never heard of her twin before. Had the character got a twin before they decided to bring Wright back? I doubt it.

True, but then again it sometimes is necessary to suspend one's disbelief for the sake of artistic liscence.

Every time I hear about these things I think - Well, couldn't they have agreed on the money *before* killing the character off (and then having to revive it somehow)? ...

apparently Laverne and Shirley are gonna be opposites (Kinda like me and my twin!)

Wasn't Laverne and Shirley some 70s sitcom?
