New Girl: 10 Storylines The Show Dropped | ScreenRant
Fox's New Girl is everyone's favorite quirky sitcom, and with seven seasons to love, there's a lot that happens for the characters of loft 4D. Like every sitcom, though, this show doesn't go without some inconsistencies and plot holes. Plus, there are some parts that fans may have completely forgotten about.
Sometimes, sitcoms throw in a storyline, just for it to fade into nothingness without so much as another mention. It's time to look back at some of those dropped storylines, and remember everything about what could have been and almost was.
10 Winston As The 'Cool Guy'
When fans are first introduced to Winston, he's a pretty 'cool guy' that just returned from Latvia, where he was playing basketball. His first real moment is trying to manipulative Schmidt into giving him the bigger bedroom.
Next, he tells Schmidt that holding hands with Cece is certainly not 'closing'. This is far from the Winston that fans have come to know and love - and his character goes through a very rapid change and direction.
9 Jess & Abby's Sibling Rivalry
There are only three episodes where Abby (Linda Cardellini) appears, and it's a pretty chaotic time. Schmidt is sleeping with her, and Jess is trying to find her a new apartment so they don't have to live together.
However, after Abby leaves, she's just never mentioned again. Neither of her parents mention her, and the fact that Jessica Day even has a sister is totally disregarded. Of course, she's also not at the wedding.
8 Winston & Birdie
Fans might remember the weird relationship that was Winston and Birdie (Jessica Chaffin). They were bizarre, a bit gross, and oddly had a strange fascination for cats. She appeared for a few episodes, and then just vanished.
Really, they seemed to just stop including her when writing the show. It wasn't that fans really missed Birdie as a character, but this is one storyline that just got dropped.
7 Cece's GED & College Education
Cece has a pretty impressive character arc that changed her throughout the series, and it includes being a model, trying to get a college education, and then becoming a modelling manager. She did manage to get her GED, but the whole premise of her studying was just dropped.
It's assumed that she stops going to college, and works at the bar until she finally decides to be a modelling manager. However, the storyline of her going back to school just faded into nothing.
6 Ferguson
Ferguson the cat was a pretty prominent recurring feline when it came to the show. He was Winston's baby, and every fan couldn't help but love the fluffy pet as he continued to be a part of the show.
However, fans might have randomly thought at some point, what happened to Ferguson? He suddenly just stops appearing in episodes, and is never mentioned until season 7, where they reveal he died a year earlier. It's a confusing time for fans, and definitely a sad one.
5 Coach's Friendship
Coach was in the first episode of the show, and then doesn't return again until episode 7 in season 3. After a pretty consistent presence, he moves to New York with his new girlfriend, May (Meaghan Rath). He even continues to return for major events through season 5.
However, he then is totally off the map. He reappears for one episode in season 7, and doesn't even return for the series finale. As such a prominent character for nearly three season, the show definitely forgot about him.
4 Sadie's Entire Character
Sadie (June Diane Raphael) was a recurring character, and was an OB/GYN that was friends with both Cece and Jess. She is the one that tells Cece she has limited time to have a baby, and is the one to tell everyone that she's pregnant.
Then, she's gone. They do allude to this random dropped storyline in the final episode, where she makes an angry appearance on Nick and Jess' wedding day, after not getting invited.
3 Schmidt's Job
Schmidt working at his marketing job takes up a lot of screen time in the first few seasons. Then, things get a little complicated, and don't really make much sense. There is a lot of talk about how he hates his job, but nothing really comes of it.
In season 7, there is an allusion to Schmidt returning to work after being at home with his and Cece's baby, Ruth. However, for the past few seasons, practically nothing is mentioned about Schmidt's job.
2 The Douchebag Jar
If there's one ongoing joke that every die-hard fan knows about this show, it's the douchebag jar. However, fans see if for the last time on "Landing Gear", which is the 22nd episode of the fifth season.
Considering it was a running gag and is the adorable inspiration for Schmidt proposing to Cece, it could have been pretty funny to see it return for either of the last two seasons. While it's not really a full 'storyline', it's certainly something fans came to love laughing about.
1 Jess As A School Principal
This is another storyline that might be a bit annoying for fans to remember, and realize that it was completely dropped off in the end of season 6 and all of season 7. There was so much lead up to Jess getting her dream job, which she finally did mid-season 6.
However, being a teacher and a principal is one of Jess' key characteristics, and it was a bit disappointing for fans that she was no longer doing so in the final season, where closure was all anyone wanted for these lovable characters.
