During an interview at the Televerse Fest in Los Angeles, James expressed enthusiasm for an MTV Cribs-style episode that showcases Ava’s extravagant home.
James revealed, “Oh, I would love to see Ava’s home in an MTV Cribs – style review,” adding that while the concept excites her, she is unsure if the show’s budget could accommodate such fabulousness. This suggestion comes as fans eagerly anticipate the return of Abbott Elementary for its fifth season, premiering on October 1 on ABC.

James noted, “I would love to just see her continue to evolve,” highlighting the depth that her character has gained over the last few years.
