As Leslie grew into a more likable and real human, the show made a great move by making her and Ann the tightest of friends, allowing for hilarious intimate moments- Leslie's excited phone call/homemade video for Ann after she and Ben first kissed- and some genuine dilemmas for the two of them as they grew older. Ann was originally introduced as a catalyst for Leslie to develop the park next to her house, and a kind of eye-rolling audience surrogate who would notice how ridiculous Leslie was- kind of like Jim's purpose opposite Michael Scott in The Office. It's not hard to see that Chris could be ready to move on.Īnd, if Parks & Recreation fans are honest with themselves, Ann and Chris are not as integral to the story as they probably ought to be. Schur said in his statement that they only expected to have Lowe for five or six episodes, but that he will have wound up sticking around for 75. Ann has never been nearly as attached to Pawnee as some of the show's other characters- remember when she hoped Chris would ask her to move to Indianapolis?- and Chris was originally introduced alongside Adam Scott's Ben as a pair of traveling government fixers, moving constantly from town to town. As the show's creator Mike Schur has explained, they'll be writing Ann and Chris out of the story with "a great Pawnee send-off," and given how close a friendship Ann shares with the show's central character, Amy Poehler's Leslie Knope, "she'll never be far from Pawnee." The obvious assumption seems to be that Ann and Chris will continue developing their relationship and trying to have a baby together, and at some point decide the right move is for them to leave town as a unit.
