AlthoughAbbott Elementaryhas a lot of characters to highlight, one recent reveal about the upcoming outing is a major relief.Abbott Elementary’s entire cast of charactersis funny and likable, and viewers tune in to see the latest adventures of everyone from Mr. Johnson to Melissa and Barbara. However, there is one couple whose on-again, off-again relationship dominatedAbbott Elementary’s first three seasons. Given their lengthy history of indecision, it seemed worryingly likely thatAbbott Elementaryseason 4would continue to keep this pair apart despite their big dramatic kiss in the season 3 finale.
Lisa Ann Walter Is Right About An Abbott Elementary Musical Episode
Abbott Elementary’s Melissa actor Lisa Ann Walter suggested the sitcom should try its hand at a musical episode. Here’s why that’s a great idea.
When Gregory and Janine first met in theAbbott Elementarypilot, sparks immediately flew between the duo. Ironically, the cautious attitude that the young teachers share resulted in their love story becoming more convoluted and complicated thanmost ofAbbott Elementary’s couples. Janine and Gregory didn’t even acknowledge their feelings for each other until late in season 2. Then, a misunderstanding worked with Janine’s fellowship at the school district to keep them apart for most of season 3.Abbott Elementary’s season 3 finale saw them finally kiss at Janine’s party but, frustratingly, their future relationship status remained a mystery.
Abbott Elementary Season 4 Will Reveal Janine and Gregory’s Status Immediately
The Premiere Could Have Kept The Couple’s Status A Mystery
In an interview withTheHollywoodReporter, Gregory’s actorTyler James Williams saidAbbott Elementary’s season 4 premiere will clarify Janine and Gregory’s relationship status. This is a huge relief, since the series could have avoided the question for some time thanks to its format. Unlike itsFX competitorEnglish Teacher Abbott Elementaryis a mockumentary, and the show’s heroes are recorded at work by a documentary crew. Although the documentarians frequently film them at home and outside of work hours, the majority of their footage is shot inside the titular institution. This could have made Gregory and Janine’s story frustrating.
Janine and Gregory understandably want to keep their private lives to themselves, with Gregory even pulling down a blind in the season 3 finale so the crew couldn’t film him kissing Janine. Thus,Abbott Elementaryseason 4 could have kept Janine and Gregory’s relationship status a mystery for a little longer by having the duo refuse to divulge whether they were dating for some time. Luckily, Williams shut down this possibility with his comments toTheHollywoodReporter, promising that viewers would definitively receive “an answer about what’s going on with them.” After so many false starts and setbacks, this is a great decision.
Janine and Gregory Should Date In Abbott Elementary Season 4
The Pair Have Spent Long Enough Dancing Around Their Feelings
WhileAbbott Elementaryseason 4’s Gregory and Janine storycan revive a few forgotten character arcs from earlier in the series, this is not the only reason that clarifying the couple’s status makes sense. Since they met, Gregory and Janine have become friends, flirted, acknowledged their feelings for each other, given it time, dated other people, worked in different places, and finally hooked up. Viewers have waited long enough, so dragging out the reveal of their relationship status would wasteAbbott Elementaryseason 4’s valuable screen time on a plot the season 3 finale had already effectively wrapped up.
