How Jeremy Allen White Existing In The Abbott Elementary Universe Could Still Make Sense
His existence creates a great opportunity for an Abbott Elementary and The Bear crossover
There are a few elbow room that Jeremy Allen White ’s existence in theAbbott Elementaryuniverse could still ( sort of ) make good sense . SinceThe Bearisn’t straight bring up by Ava , perhapsAbbott Elementarytakes place in an alternative universe where the series never existed , but White is still a famous actor . This would solve the problem of Edebiri play Ayesha . IfThe Beardidn’t exist , the actress would n’t needs have to exist either , meaning she could play Janine ’s sister .
Another wayAbbott Elementarycould square White , Edebiri , The Bear , and Ayesha ’s simultaneous existence in this universe is by leaning into the disagreement and have Edebiri return as Ayesha at some point inAbbott Elementaryseason 3 . This would make an chance to correct upa running play joke about Ayesha ’s preternatural resemblance toThe Bearstar Ayo Edebiri . What would make this even funnier is if every other character pointed out Ayesha ’s resemblance to Edebiri , while Janine assert she does n’t see it .
It would n’t fully solve the issue of Abbott Elementary ’s messy canon , but acknowledging that Edebiri and White’sAbbott Elementarycharacters await just like the actor in real life would playfully take out attention to the discrepancy .
To add another layer to the joke , White could also guest star in the same installment as a new character reference who shows up at the very end . The show could flip the put-on by having Janine insist this new character looks just like Jeremy Allen White , while the rest of the characters disagree . It would n’t fully solve the issue ofAbbott Elementary ’s messy canon , butacknowledging that Edebiri and White’sAbbott Elementarycharacters look just like the actors in real life would playfully draw attention to the discrepancyand allow for anAbbott ElementaryandThe Bearcrossover .
