Abbott Elementary<\/em> <\/a>blindsided viewers with a shocking split.<\/p>\n

During the Wednesday, April 8, episode of the hit ABC series, Gregory (Tyler James Williams<\/strong>) and Janine (Quinta Brunson<\/strong>) argued over plans for an upcoming couples\u2019 trip. Janine then broached the subject of a break up<\/a> and while their decision wasn\u2019t seen, Brunson confirmed off screen that the fictional couple have parted ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one saw it coming. I think that\u2019s a great time to throw a stone at the settled earth. It was something I thought about from the beginning of this season,\u201d she told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThey\u2019ve been in a relationship for a while now, and we\u2019ve seen them be really great and go through the honeymoon phase, but I wanted to get under the surface a little bit about what could be going on with these characters and how, in relationships, things like this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brunson wanted to tell<\/a> a realistic story.<\/p>\n

Riverdale, which premiered in 2017, originally introduced Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) as a grieving sister trying to deal with the death of her twin brother Jason (Trevor Stines).

\u201cWe see it every day \u2014 couples who look kind of perfect from the outside. There can be things going on in that we don\u2019t know about, that they discover within their relationship,\u201d she continued. \u201cWe talked about this a lot in the room about relationships and past relationships, current relationships, how you never know. It could be this one little thing that leads you into an argument.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress added: \u201cThis small thing was actually a catalyst for possibly some larger discussions that need to happen between two people who are trying to spend a lot of time with each other and possibly their lives together.\u201d<\/p>\n

While teasing the rest<\/a> of the season, Brunson addressed the chances of Janine finding love elsewhere.<\/p>\n
