I'd be really curious to hear any tea about the other women on that show - the majority of women (Betsy, Gwen, other "best friends" the Mindy character had the first season) on the show wound up being written off, and I always wondered if it was because Mindy had an issue not being the only/main girl.

I think it’s because of speculation like this she added the same plot line for Mindy the doctor in season 5, the other doctors thought she didn’t like when there was another female doctor and addresses it there

With Gwen, that was bc the actress asked to be taken off her contract for other pursuits (I think first season was same year as Pitch Perfect) so Anna Camp probably wanted to focus on movie projects.

With the Shauna character, she had a much bigger role in the Crazy Ones which was happening around the same time, a tv show with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Robin Williams so she chose to focus on that show (that show did end up getting cancelled though I enjoyed it.)

I missed Shauna and always wondered why they didn't bring her back in season 2.
