New Cox Joins Scrubs Cast

(andPOP) - Looks like J.D. and the rest of the Scrubs gang will be making a new friend.

Courteney Cox, of Friends fame, will be joining the Scrubs cast for a three-episode arc during its upcoming eighth season.

Cox will "ruffle feathers" as Sacred Heart's new chief of medicine--perhaps by butting heads with the other Dr. Cox, played by John C. McGinley.

This will mark Cox's return to TV comedy. Cox became a household name for playing Monica on NBC's hit sitcom Friends. Most recently, the 44-year-old actress played a tabloid editor on the FX drama Dirt, which was canceled after two seasons.

Scrubs ended its seventh season on NBC in May, but will be returning for an eighth on ABC this fall.
