Before returning to the revival, Judy Reyes opened up about how it took time for her to understand Scrubs' impact. During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly at the ABC Summer Soirée on Friday, September 5, Reyes, 57, said it was "very exciting" to reprise the role of Carla, adding, "It's where it all began for me. I took it for granted that all shows were like that and they just weren't. I didn't really appreciate it until we were done." Reyes has loved seeing the resurgence in interest for the medical sitcom.
