I say I can’t pick a favourite character in Abbott, but I have to admit, I don’t stop smiling the moment Ava comes on screen. I just love her shenanigans.

@georgie9755 Жыл бұрын

Same here! I love EVERY single character. All so well written and fleshed out!

@rocketreindeer Жыл бұрын

She's f'n hysterical. I"ve worked in schools and the incompetent principal thing is totally real. But if she were my boss somehow I wouldn't be able to get too mad at her because she has a sweet core and also because I'd be laughing my ass off.

@quinnaddison420 Жыл бұрын

She’s just goddamn brilliant, and Quinta’s writing is so good. It’s such a bright light.

@maryluvsmusic9298 Жыл бұрын

I agree 💯!!! I luv her sense of humor on Abbott Elementary along with the full cast!! What a great & realistic show. I’m a product of CPS (Chicago Public Schools) & I can say they nail it on the show!

She is one of the funniest characters on TV right now, her timing is amazing, and her one liners are always hilarious 😂. She is hilarious.

@rocketreindeer Жыл бұрын

She kills me. I've worked with totally real incompetent principals, but I can't help but love her as I laugh my ass off at her calculated idiotic laziness and her half-ass work ethic. She also is truly sweet and it comes through in her charaacter and real life personality.

The first 2 episodes of S1 I really hated her as she wasn’t being a good coworker to the rest but then I found the humor in it and understood her sense of humor and now she is just my absolutely favorite! How she became the antagonist/villain of the show but still make me feel I wanna hang out with her is just a genius play Hope she maintains being the terrible character bec it’s entertaining as hell!!
