I mean, this is sorta speculation and sorta stuff Nicole has said, but essentially the production team (probably the second showrunner on imo) got mad that people liked her and her character more than Tom, straight up tried to manipulate her into thinking she was replaceable so she wouldn't ask for better treatment, and essentially punished her for getting sick (Tom was also sick and got recovery time/Nicole didn't and developed a chronic condition) by treating her as if she were just lazy and lying about it. In other words, vile racism. Abbie's on screen treatment was more a collateral consequence of, and perhaps a punishment for, that.

Oh god, if even half of that is true it's just so... erugh. I don't keep up with bts stuff for the shows I watch so I never knew about any fuckery going on in the background, I just knew that the actors seemed 100% on board and the audience wanted it, but knowing that it could have been a showrunner or writer upset that people liked Abbie of all things. Christ. I only hope the actress is in a better place with better projects.

But yeah that's absolutely horrid racist bullshit that had gone on there. Jesus.

It was pretty much a buddy cop-type show, IIRC, so it's mind-blowing that a showrunner would get mad that audiences liked one of the two LEADS. Sorry they liked her more than your favorite I guess?

Original SH anon-- ALSO! In the first episode Annie was positioned as the MAIN main character! She was the one we were supposed to relate to! And the showrunner got mad because we DID?

In fairness I think they replaced the showrunner for season 2. That's when they started to write out the BIPOC characters. So no, no e of it was a coincidence.
