Abbott S3's Lana Condor role was a letdown.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Although Abbott Elementary season 3, episode 11 cast Lana Condor as Gregory’s date, Olivia, the actor was wasted in a thankless supporting role. Since the show debuted, it has been pretty obvious that Abbott Elementary is setting up a slow-burn romance between Janine Teagues and Gregory Eddie.
In season 2’s finale, Gregory and Janine admitted that they had feelings for each other after dating other people. Anyone in Abbott Elementary’s supporting cast of characters could have told them this, but the cautious duo still decided to take things slowly. By the beginning of season 3, Gregory was telling Janine that he thought the “Pause” they put on their feelings was a “Period.” Hurt, Janine took a fellowship in the school district that kept her away from Abbott, and Gregory, for weeks.
Abbott Elementary Season 3’s Lana Condor Cameo Was Frustrating The Guest Star’s Role Was Disappointingly Limited Close Spending time away from Janine forced Gregory to admit that he had feelings for his co-worker, but this couldn’t have come at a worse time. In season 3, episode “Double Date,” Gregory went on a double date with Jacob, Avi, and Avi’s EMT co-worker, Olivia.
This gag worked, and it was very funny to see a dazed, distracted Gregory try to hold a conversation. However, the role was still a waste of Condor’s considerable talents, particularly after the star showed off her comedic timing in Moonshot, Boo, Bitch, Boajack Horseman, and the To All the Boys trilogy. Abbott Elementary’s supporting characters sometimes get short-changed in the series, but Condor’s role was particularly unfortunate.
Many Earlier Sitcoms Struggled With Abbott Elementary Season 3’s Problem Sitcom Romances Make Guest Star Cameos Redundant Close Abbott Elementary is far from the first great sitcom to struggle with incorporating romantic false leads. Whether it is Lizzy Caplan and Merritt Wever in New Girl, Glenn Howerton in The Mindy Project, or Rashida Jones in The Office, a lot of great guest stars have been wasted in the role of a love interest who only exists to get between an established couple.
