attention scrubs fans (all 5 of us)

remember that downer of an episode where they killed off nurse laverne for no reason? well, looks like laverne might be back. don't worry, they won't be bringing her back from the dead in a "very special episode" or anything.

When "Scrubs" creator Bill Lawrence decided last season to kill off Nurse Laverne Roberts -- one of the show's key supporting characters -- he made a promise to thesp Aloma Wright.

Should "Scrubs" return for a seventh season, he told Wright, she could don a new wig and play Laverne's twin sister, Shirley.

When Lawrence first plotted Nurse Roberts' death, he was pretty certain that "Scrubs" was in its final year. Mapping out the final year's storylines, he decided the death of a series regular would help shake things up.

so looks like instead of the married, church-lovin' laverne we all know, the actress will be playing a single, alcoholic who shuns religion. kinda sounds like dr. cox as a black woman.
