Williams\u2019 Gregory enters the scene as a long-term substitute who, by the end of Season 1, decides to stay on as a full-time teacher.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of it all is series creator and star Quinta Brunson, who plays optimistic teacher Janine Teagues. When Gregory arrived, Janine worked on convincing him that Abbott was a special place, and softened him up to the idea of teaching despite wanting to be a principal. Instead, that job goes to the supremely underqualified Ava Coleman, played by Janelle James.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1048296\" style=\"width: 864px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1048296\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1048296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/abbott-elementary-janelle-james-2-854x570.jpg\" alt=\"Abbott Elementary Season 1 Janelle James\" width=\"854\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/abbott-elementary-janelle-james-2-854x570.jpg 854w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/abbott-elementary-janelle-james-2-433x289.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/abbott-elementary-janelle-james-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/abbott-elementary-janelle-james-2-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/abbott-elementary-janelle-james-2-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/abbott-elementary-janelle-james-2.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1048296\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: ABC\/Bonnie Osborne)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI feel \u2014 not to be corny \u2014 blessed to be part of something that seems to make people so happy,\u201d James muses. \u201cThat\u2019s the most feedback that I get from the show, that it\u2019s their feel-good show, and it makes them feel good in bad times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Ava\u2019s certainly a character that can elicit a laugh with her inflated ego \u2014 such as when she spent vital school funds on an unnecessary decorative banner featuring her face. \u201cShe was a standout type of role and stand out person,\u201d James recalls of her initial reaction to reading the part.<\/p>\n<p>James also assures that Ava couldn\u2019t be farther from her onscreen persona. \u201cEven though people think that it\u2019s a lot like me, it\u2019s not.
