## Throughout The Series

### Season 1

Max introduces Ginny to her friends Abby and Norah.

Max mentions that Norah and Abby have plans to go shopping after school, with Ginny standing in earshot. An apologetic Norah quickly invites Ginny, but Abby doesn't seem as on board with the idea.

The trio browses a trendy clothing store. Abby walks around moodily and makes a casual comment about how "disgusting" she is (hinting at her body dysmorphia). She catches sight of a trendy pink top and enthusiastically holds it up, asking Ginny if she should get it. Ginny says yes. Abby smiles mischievously and rips its tag off, shoving it into her jacket. Norah is unimpressed but Abby continues stealing items. She encourages Ginny to steal a pair of earrings, which Ginny agrees to out of peer pressure. The trio begins to leave but an employee orders them not to. The employee caught sight of Ginny stealing the earrings and Georgia is called.

When Georgia arrives, she boldly accuses the store worker of racially profiling Ginny, since none of the other girls' bags were checked. The employee denies this, and neither Abby nor Norah speak up. A tired Ginny admits to stealing. Outside the store, Georgia asks the girls about the incident, likely knowing they aren't innocent. Abby claims that she and Norah "had no idea Ginny would be stealing", throwing her new friend under the bus. Georgia doesn't buy her bullshit, and sternly tells the girls to get home.

Later, Abby and Norah visit Ginny at her house. Abby wears the top she stole from the store. Georgia skeptically greets them in the yard. The two bring Ginny make-up products and apologize for the stealing debacle. Ginny quickly forgives them, likely because of her desire to have friends. Max texts the girls about how sad she is that she can't hang out with them, since she is grounded. Abby calls Max "so extra" and the girls post pictures together.

When alone, Abby obsesses over her appearance, particularly how her body looks. She stares at her thighs in the mirror, then puts duct tape on them to make them look smaller. She puts on a pair of expensive new jeans and sends a photo of it in the MANG group chat. Her friends react with praise about how good she looks.

Abby decides to wear her jeans to Sophomore Sleepover, while the rest of MANG wears PJ pants. The girls get their hair done by a hairdresser. When it's Ginny's turn, the lady frizzes up her curly hair. Ginny leaves in distress. Fiendish Abby snickers at Ginny's predicament, enjoying watching her get embarrassed.

Later, Norah, Brodie, Jordan and Abby are hanging out in a classroom and start to play Truth or Dare. Jordan dares Abby to swap outfits with Brodie. Abby immediately looks uneasy, which hints that she may be wearing the duct tape under her jeans again. She snippily tells him no, and that she doesn't want to "stretch out her new Harbours". She abruptly starts to leave the room, causing Norah to ask if she's okay. She says she is but leaves anyway.

At the Halloween party, Press makes a comment about Abby having "whale legs", triggering her body image issues. Samantha looks on in enjoyment (due to Abby and the rest of MANG's exclusion of her). Abby then crawls onto Press and begins giving him a lap dance, but eventually he shoves her off. He asks Sam if she thinks she can do it better than Abby. A delighted Sam smirks at Abby and gets on Press's lap. Abby walks away in defeat and takes shots.

In a fit of rage and jealousy against Press and Samantha, Abby convinces a confused Norah to make out with her in front of the entire party, to which they do so as Press and Samantha onlook them. The two appear to be having fun, even when Norah quickly pulls out (most likely because her boyfriend was watching).

Later, Ginny goes to the bathroom, and we see Abby at the sink washing out her mouth (having likely just made herself throw up). Abby leaves the bathroom happily, neither herself nor Ginny revealing their issues.

At Berry Tree, Ginny spaces out, causing Abby to ask her what's up. Ginny tells Abby about Austin stabbing Zach with a pencil. Abby asks if he's in therapy and says that everyone needs it for "maintenance". She tells Ginny that both her parents are therapists and offers to get her dad to help arrange an appointment for Austin.

Abby's dad gets Austin an appointment, but he cannot go because it require's Georgia's consent.

At school, Max decorates Berry Tree for Ginny's birthday. Abby looks on unenthusiastically due to her jealousy. When Max gushes about how happy she is that Ginny moved to Wellsbury, Abby snaps. She gives Ginny fake praise and says she's over how popular Ginny is. She leaves and Max and Norah comment about how rude that was. Ginny says that maybe Abby has something going on at home (having learned of Abby's parents' divorce while having dinner at the Chen's). The girls seems oblivious to this, and Max attributes Abby's outburst to jealousy, calling her "the Grinch who stole sophomore year".

At lunch, Abby approaches her friends' table with anxiety, due to what happened that morning. The girls stare in awkward silence until Ginny makes MANG's signature gag about not wanting "her to sit with us". Abby smirks and rejoins the group, and things calm down.

At school, Abby asks Ginny where Norah is and says that Max also isn't around much anymore, due to her relationship with Sophie. Ginny asks if she's okay and Abby tells her she's just having a bad day.

Abby's father moves out for good. One night she asks MANG to hang, but they are all too busy.

Abby's parents continue to argue until their divorce is finalized. Distraught, Abby tries multiple times to confide in her friends, but they brush her off, busy with all their own drama.

One night, Abby calls an emergency MANG meeting a Blue Farm. She shows up teary eyed and tells them her dad moved out. She's angry that she had to go through "the worst week of her life" without MANG by her side, and calls them bad friends. Ginny says she's sorry, but she had stuff going on too. She says "It's not always just about you". Abby gets angry and Ginny says she can be a real bitch, causing Abby to slap her across the face. Abby acts shocked at what she's done, and slaps herself in compensation. Max slaps herself too, just for the hell of it. The girls eventually start giggling and Abby apologizes to Ginny. This seems to heal the cracks in MANG for the time being.

Max calls a MANG meeting at her house after Sophie dumps her. Norah and Abby comfort her and feed her oreos. Ginny gets up to "use the bathroom" and goes to Marcus' room. Through the open door, Abby catches Marcus and Ginny embracing each other. Abby snaps at Ginny and tells her she cannot tell Max, as it will destroy their friend group. She says that after her parent's divorce she "can't lose MANG too". Ginny isn't fully on board, but agrees because Abby is a bossy quite bossy person.

Max discovers through Marcus' text messages that him and Ginny hooked up. At school, an oblivious Ginny tries to approach MAN, but they shun her.

Later, at Max's play, she tells Ginny that she knows what she did. Norah and Abby join them in the hallway. Ginny turns to Abby and mistakenly accuses her of telling Max despite her being the one who told Ginny not to tell. Abby says she didn't. Max then turns on Abby, hurt that she lied and acted shocked when Max told her. This causes Max to dump Abby as a friend.

Hunter comes up to the group. As revenge for getting her in trouble with Max, Abby exposes Marcus and Ginny's fornication to Hunter. When Max leaves, Abby begs for her to forgive her, but she won't. Abby turns to Ginny in hatred and calls her a bitch, then storms off.

At school, Max, Norah, and the rest of their friends have officially ditched Abby and Ginny. Abby sits alone in the cafeteria. Ginny approaches her, but she storms off and throws out her lunch.

### Season 2

Abby makes her first appearance whilst visiting the Baker’s household the day after Thanksgiving with a plate full of pizza bagels for MANG’s annual ‘post-Thanksgiving brunch’. When Ellen lets her in, Abby is met with an enraged Max who was just making a TikTok with Norah. Max states to Abby that she’s still angry at her over the whole deal with Ginny and Marcus and follows up with telling Abby to go away along with a hesitant Norah agreeing with Max. Abby leaves, visibly saddened by this conversation. As she leaves, she notices Ginny, Georgia and Zion across the street from them. Georgia asks Ginny what’s going on with Abby, noticing her running away from the Baker’s house. Ginny tells her that Abby’s parents are getting a divorce.

When Ginny returns to Wellsbury High after having been gone for a few weeks, she briefly sees Abby sitting alone, away from Max, Norah, Hunter, Brodie and Press indicating she has been shunned from their entire friend group. They exchange a quick glance before Abby turns away and Ginny walks off to her class.

Abby is later seen alone in her bedroom at night, looking at Max and Norah’s TikTok they created during Thanksgiving and looking upset afterwards.

Abby visits Blue Farm whilst Ginny is working there. As she approaches the bar to order something, Ginny quickly asks Padma to take over as she isn’t willing to talk with Abby after the whole ordeal surrounding Marcus and Ginny’s secret. However, when Abby and Ginny both notice Sophie (Max’s ex-girlfriend) being on a date with a guy in the restaurant, they can’t help but stare at each other in shock.

After Abby attempts to tell Max about what she saw at Blue Farm the day before and Max angrily tells her off for it, Abby turns around to Ginny and asks her if she’s willing to skip next class and go smoke weed with her, with a surprised Ginny agreeing with her. They go to Abby’s bedroom in her house and have a conversation about Abby’s home situation, Georgia being pregnant at their age with Abby humorously trying to use her pillow to make herself seem pregnant, and expressing frustration at Max and others from the friend group. Eventually, Abby tells Ginny she has an idea; they both dye a part of their hair a bright color, with Abby dying a few streaks of her hair bright red. They return to school later with a shocked Max and Norah staring them down as they walk down the hallway, likely being surprised at their hair color and their reconciliation. When they pass Max and Norah however, a teacher walks up to them and asks them if they just skipped class, with Abby and Ginny being asked to come with her.

On Max’s birthday, Abby decided to make a large ‘Happy Birthday’ poster and hung it up at the spot where MANG always hung out together. When Max finds out the poster was made by Abby, she angrily rips it off and throws it away, with a disappointed Abby walking off. Abby expresses her frustration about this situation to Ginny and Marcus later whilst smoking weed together, explaining it took hours for her to make the poster and Max being very rude about it.

Abby keeps hanging out with Ginny, and eventually Norah comes up to them, complimenting them on their hair. When Max notices this, she’s angry at Norah and storms off, which the three proceed to laugh off. After Ginny and Max make up, Ginny hosts a birthday party for Max and Marcus and during that party Max apologizes to Abby, reuniting MANG again.

As MANG is back together, they walk down the hallway as before and hang out with the entire friend group again. Abby mentions her mother only grounding her for the weekend as a result of the house party at Georgia’s home.

When MANG and their mom’s are making latkes at the Bakers’ house, Abby has a few pleasant interactions with her mother, including her mother revealing a teacher she once had was fired and making a joke about it. Later that evening, Abby along with MANG attends a party in Brodie’s basement. She expresses surprise at Marcus’ guitar skills and is seen leaning on Press. At one point, when Brodie dares her to sit on his back, he makes a remark about her weight, which visibly affects Abby who proceeds to sit back on the couch looking down in shame.

When Max and Abby join Ginny, Samantha, Hunter and Press at Blue Farm they discuss having to participate at the Christmas event, with Abby humorously asking them if they can’t just give the people money instead of participating. At a certain point, Press notices Abby staring at him eating chips and he proceeds to jokingly ask her if she wants one, eventually throwing one at her face. Abby is later seen participating at the Christmas event.

After the Christmas break, Abby tells MANG that she had to endure the entire Christmas break hearing her maternal grandparents telling her mom that they never liked Abby’s dad as a result of their divorce. Later on, Abby invites MANG to come to Blue Farm, but only Ginny shows up which Abby jokingly justifies by claiming they’re the only ones who have a broken home life. Abby tells Ginny that her dad now has a girlfriend and how weirdly relaxed her mother is dealing with the divorce, to which Ginny empathizes.

Abby hangs out with Max and Norah and they discuss Ginny being at work, Max’s crush on Silver and Marcus’ recent mental struggles that Max has noticed. Abby gets a text message from Press, with Max and Norah asking her if he wants to be in a relationship with her and expressing disgust at the idea, with a visibly distracted Abby agreeing.

After Ginny drops out of Mr. Gitten’s AP English class, Ginny ends up in the same English class as Abby. They are seated close to each other and at one point as Ginny is overhearing a lot of stressful noises in the classroom, she glances over at Abby who’s staring at her phone. Abby winks at her.

During the play that Max and Bracia play in, Abby is seen in the audience watching them with Press sitting next to her. At one point, as Press is holding her hand, he notices something on her thigh and asks her if she’s taping her legs, to which a horrified Abby angrily tells him to shut up and doesn’t respond further. The next day, Abby notices Press walking straight past her during English class without acknowledging her presence and looks away confused.

After Ginny and Marcus’ breakup, MANG comforts Ginny by inviting her to Abby’s house and whilst in her bedroom they’re seen drinking, laughing together and Ginny expresses gratefulness for having met MANG. However, when Ginny has a realization about Georgia’s cryptic usage of Lake Powell earlier that evening, she storms off leaving the rest of MANG confused.

Later that evening, Abby along with Max and Norah attends a party in Brodie’s basement. She walks over to Press, whispers something in his ear and they proceed to kiss each other in the bathroom, but Norah finds out and drags her away. When asking her if she’s okay, a frustrated Abby snaps at Norah and tells her she’s not, claiming she’s still angry at Norah over the situation with Max, Marcus and Ginny and Norah ignoring and shunning her for weeks playing along with Max, and she also tells Norah about her dad finding a girlfriend. Norah visibly feels regret about it and comforts Abby, but it isn’t long until Jordan shows up and takes Norah’s attention. Abby walks back to the bathroom, where she hears sounds of vomiting behind the locked door. When the door opens, Samantha walks out of the bathroom and asks Abby what’s up, to which Abby responds it’s nothing. When Samantha walks off, Abby glances at her in a concerned way. Abby’s last appearance of the season is her walking into the bathroom, staring at herself in the mirror and turning on the tap before walking to the other side of the bathroom, indicating she’s still struggling with bulimia and is about to make herself throw up.

## Personality

Abby struggles with body image throughout the series, and it is hinted that she may have an eating disorder. There are subtle hints through her behavior that she may be bi-curious and struggling in the closet. She also struggles to cope with her parents divorce while her friends are busy elsewhere.

She can also be rude and selfish at times and lets jealousy get the best of her. This is shown when Max surprises Ginny on her birthday. She can be especially cruel to Ginny, such as when she forces her to steal earrings then pretends to know nothing about it, or when she laughs at Ginny's hair being messed up during the sleepover. Abby is also quite blunt.

Abby also is very fun-loving and supportive. She usually laughs with jokes, likes to party, and have fun with her friends. She is also shown as caring and kind to her friends, like when Max was going through the break up and Abby was there for her.

## Physical Appearance

Abby is very beautiful, with long auburn hair and a young-looking face. She has dark brown eyes and pale skin. She is very small, the shortest of her friends.

## Relationships

It is revealed that Abby's parents are going through a divorce. She appears to have no siblings.

### Friends

#### Maxine Baker

Abby and Max have been friends since they were very young and along with Norah formed MAN years before the events of the show. Max and Abby seem to be very close and Abby seems very supportive of her. Yet at some point when it’s revealed Abby kept a secret from Max, Max is very upset with her and shuns her in a very mean way by telling her off and ignoring her. She does end up apologizing for this and Abby accepts her apology.

#### Norah

Abby and Norah have been friends since they were very young and along with Max they formed MAN years before the events of the show. They seem to have a good friendship and are often seen hanging out together. However, at some point when Max is upset at Abby and shuns her Norah goes along with this, and Abby is deeply affected by this. Even after the initial apology from Max and MANG reuniting, Abby expresses to Norah that her siding with Max and ignoring her deeply affected her, which Norah is very sorry for.

#### Virginia Miller

Although Max was initially against the idea of expanding MAN with Ginny’s presence turning it into MANG, she does get along with Ginny. After Max and Norah shun her, she at first is most angry with Ginny for breaking up their bond but eventually comes around and befriends her again out of her own initiative and through this way they get to know more about each other. Their friendship grew stronger by MANG’s reuniting, with Abby even hanging out with Ginny only eventually at some points.

### Romances

#### Matt Press

Abby and Press are often times seen getting close to each other in the first season, such as at Ginny’s birthday party. Despite this, Press often makes mean comments to Abby about her body which triggers her self-esteem issues and has also ignored her to be around Samantha. They also often act distant when their entire friend group is present. Near the end of season two however, it seems Press is interested in having a relationship with Abby, as can be noticed by him texting her, spending time with her and even attending Max’s play with her. However, when he seems to find out about Abby taping her legs he acts distant with her again. Abby however still approaches him but Norah stops her and expresses concern at Abby’s want to get with Press
