Platonic Displays Of Affection

Williams knows his opinion on Gregory and Janine isnt a popular one.

I hate to say it and I know everybodys always mad at me for saying this, he said.

I dont necessarily want to see them together.

Nonetheless, he has his reasons and, honestly, theyre good ones.

I really like to look at TV as constantly reinventing the wheel.

Brunson emphasized that the two teachers are still in their 20s, and theyre on their own paths.

Thats something Williams also noted whenhe spoke to Entertainment Weeklyahead of Season 3s premiere.

Her choosing selfishness is not selfish, Williams said.

There is something to knowing where you are and what time youre at in your life.
