In season 8 of How I Met Your Mother, we will see the return of Lily’s high school boyfriend Scooter, played by Neil Patrick Harris’ boyfriend David Burtka!
Burtka himself broke the news on Twitter, writing:

Over the past seven seasons of How I Met Your Mother, the actor has played the recurring role of Scooter, Lily’s first boyfriend. When we first met him he was well on his way to succeed in umpire school, and has since been seen trying to win Lily back at her and Marshall’s wedding, as well as in a number of hilarious flashback sequences.
He has appeared in a total of five episodes so far, the last being the season 6 episode “Natural History.” It’ll be great to see him return!
Do you think that Scooter is going to show up in another flashback, or perhaps in the present day – say, as one of Marshall and Lily’s prospective babysitters?
