Now if we had to guess what’s coming up in the new season, we’d say Janine is going to be on a journey of self-discovery. After breaking up with her longtime boyfriend Tariq, she’s free to explore herself as a single woman and to date.
While for many viewers a breakup with Tariq should mean she’s free to be with her “friend” Gregory, now that Gregory is dating Barbara’s daughter Taylor, the romance between the two teachers looks like it will again be stalled.
But let’s face it, sitcom romances between main characters can take a while to actually manifest. For example, it took Jim and Pam on The Office practically four seasons before they finally started dating.
It looks like the entire Season 1 cast is expected to return for the second season, Janelle James, Rounding out the main cast are Tyler James Williams, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Lisa Ann Walter, and Chris Perfetti.
