On the season premiere of Scrubs, we got a glimpse of a very pregnant Sarah Chalke portraying the mother of J.D.’s baby. She’s actually due sometime this month, following the news of fellow series star Judy Reyes recent delivery. But while 33-year-old Canadian actress is expecting a boy soon, what exactly can we expect about her character?
Sarah Chalke talked to DVR Playground about her return to the ninth season of Scrubs, discussing what’s in store for the on-screen couple. She claims she’ll be back for a few more episodes in the future, and is excited about how her story will unfold. The actress also revealed the gender J.D. and Elliot’s baby, which is definitely something to look forward to.

This year the Lifetime cable channel aired the two-part mini series Maneater, starring Sarah Chalke (Scrubs, Roseanne), Judy Greer (Arrested Development), Philip Winchester (Crusoe), Marla Sokoloff (The Practice), Gregory Harrison (Trapper John, M.D.) and Maria Conchita Alonso (Moscow on the Hudson, The Running Man). This production was directed by none other than Timothy Busfield, who’s terrific behind the camera (and has a long resume there), but is probably better known in front of the camera, acting in shows like thirtysomething, The West Wing and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
Now Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced that Maneater will arrive on DVD this coming February 9th. Video will be anamorphic widescreen. Audio options will be an English 5.1 soundtrack, and a Portuguese 5.1 soundtrack. Subtitles will also be in English and Portuguese , plus it will be closed captioned. Extras, if any, have not been mentioned. Nor do we have box art yet, but stay tuned for that. In the meantime, this will be a single disc release running 176 minutes long, at a cost of $24.94 SRP.

The National Ledger has posted the following interview with Sarah where she discusses more about her part in “Scrubs” season 9 and how her real life pregnancy fits into it all!
Sarah Chalke has been enjoying being back in her “Scrubs” gear as Dr. Elliot Reid filming shows for the series’ Dec. 1-debuting new season “that’s centered around a med school with all these young cast members, John C. McGinley’s character (Dr. Cox), and Turk (Donald Faison). It’s been so much fun to be back and see everybody,” she says. “I’m doing around four episodes and then I’ll go have the baby. I was tired at the beginning of the pregnancy, then loaded with energy in the middle. I can feel that tired is starting to come back now.”
Chalke, who is expecting next month with her fiance, attorney Jamie Afifi, says that the show “definitely parallels real life” in terms of her pregnancy. She and Zach Braff are on hand to help launch the new version. He’s reportedly aboard for six episodes. And his character’s flash-forward at the end of last season has become true — J.D. and Elliot have married and are expecting. Chalke smilingly notes, “That flash-forward — I was obviously not pregnant at that time because we filmed it over a year ago.”
The beautiful Chalke will also be heard Dec. 1 as the voice of the elf who serves as Santa’s command center coordinator on the animated Disney special “Prep & Landing.”
“My character is a multi-tasker; she can do 10 things at once. She wears jingle-bell jewelry. And she has an obsession with scalding hot lattes — she chugs eggnog lattes in giant bowl mugs. She’s up around the clock,” describes the actress. Dave Foley also provides a star voice for the special — the first Walt Disney animation special for ABC, produced by John Lasseter.
Sarah and Jamie are expecting a baby boy!
Scrubs co-stars Judy Reyes and Sarah Chalke have a very special Christmas (09) planned – as new first-time mums.
Reyes, 42, is expecting a baby girl at the beginning of December (09), while Chalke is due on Christmas Day (25Dec09).
And the two pals exchanged notes about impending motherhood at Reyes’ recent baby shower in Santa Monica, California.
The mum-to-be tells Life & Style magazine, “We just had a talk about what it’s going to be like once they’re really here – and both of us have no freaking idea what it’s going to be like.”
Reyes tells the publication that her friend is expecting a little boy.

This is the first child for Sarah, 33, and her fiance Jamie Afifi.
