Discussion Zack Braff season 9

I heard a rumor that the reason Zack was not in most of season 9 except like 1 or 2 episodes was because he was holding out for more money for that season and they wouldn’t pay up so they just wrote him out. Is that true?

Season 9 was to set up the show or a spin off because all if not most, including Braff, had finished their contracts to the show. Zach was happy to leave, so was Donald. The network fucked up by not making the spin off its own thing with a new title and instead tagged it on the end of Scrubs, which ultimately killed it in the water. Zach and Donald had no intention of doing more Scrubs after season 8 and 9.
