Tyler James Williams on what's "dangerous" about Janine and Gregory being a couple in Abbott Elementary season 4

As a long-time fan of Abbott Elementary and a hopeless romantic, I can’t help but feel like I’ve been on this rollercoaster ride with Janine and Gregory since day one! It feels like we’ve all been waiting for this moment – their kiss in the season 3 finale had me cheering louder than I have for any sports game in years!


As a dedicated fan of Abbott Elementary, let me tell you, Janine and Gregory’s romantic journey has been a rollercoaster ride for three whole seasons! But finally, in season 3, they took the plunge and decided to give their relationship a serious try. That kiss at the end of season 3 left us all spellbound! Now, I understand there are numerous aspects to consider when it comes to relationships, but this one has been worth the wait, don’t you think?

In a harmonious partnership and excellent team dynamics, their lives are intricately connected. For quite some time now, fans have been eagerly anticipating their on-screen union, and it seems our wishes are about to come true in Abbott Elementary season 4 (set to air on ABC on Oct. 9, 2024). However, even the strongest relationships can encounter rough waters, and this new couple will have to navigate those challenges ahead.

In my latest gaming session with the Inside Line on TVLine, I found myself wondering if Matt could shed some light on how Janine and Gregory will navigate their office romance. Luckily, he managed to get a sneak peek from none other than Gregory’s portrayer, Tyler James Williams himself! Here’s what this gaming pro shared with the news outlet:

“Though spending time together is wonderful,” Tyler James Williams shared with TVLine, chuckling, “it’s also risky. This relationship is like a powder keg – one disagreement could lead to disaster. In season 4, we hope to gradually explore and diffuse this tension.”

Absolutely, you’re correct. If Janine and Gregory have a major argument, it will undoubtedly create an uncomfortable atmosphere for both of them since their classrooms are side by side at school. Furthermore, their peers might find themselves caught in the middle, either choosing sides or trying to mediate their disagreement. Frankly, nobody enjoys being in such a tricky position.

Not only do they both feel content with their roles at Abbott, but transferring them elsewhere is out of the question. They’ve established a tight-knit community and friend group, including Ava – initially reluctant – as well. The thought of parting ways with this close-knit circle is disheartening for all involved. However, Janine, fresh from her stint at the district, has the most to lose if anything changes.

She learned that her true passion is teaching, even if the district job was better for her and she could make a bigger difference. But she’s still making a difference in a different way by being with her kids. There’s so much to consider, but I’m very hopeful that Janine and Gregory will be able to work it out in Abbott Elementary season 4! They may face some ups and down like any other couple does, but I’m sure they’ll get through it together. This is what all of us – and Jacob – have been waiting for!

Abbott Elementary season 4 premieres Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2024 on ABC.
