Some of these storylines were cut short. Others seemed to disappear. Listed below are 10 such storylines that never felt resolved in our book.
Two characters were introduced that proposed a potential love triangle with Danny and Mindy. One character was Shauna, the young, beautiful, and cool woman who worked in the office. It was revealed that Shauna had a crush on Danny as she longingly watched him dance when they all went out to the club in Season 1. However, this crush seemed one-sided, and Danny although not romantic towards Mindy yet regarded Mindy more highly than he did Shauna.
On top of that, the character of Shauna appeared to have disappeared from the show with little explanation. The other early potential love triangle was Mindy's friend, Alex, who did date Danny in Season 1. However, like most of Mindy's outside of work friends from Season 1, Alex's role was gone from later seasons. While we were happy that Beverly previously horrible nurse but comic gem came back and became an office assistant, we miss Betsy. Betsy and her story disappeared from the show.
This could be because Morgan and Betsy shared similar character traits of being innocent and seeing the world in a much different way than their other colleagues. Betsy hung on longer than Shauna. Still, we would have loved to see Betsy try to play matchmaker with more members of the office, like she once did with Mindy. Throughout the series, we often saw more of Danny's family than Mindy's.
So, anytime we saw Mindy's family and her interactions with them, we were really happy. Rishi, Mindy's brother, whom she was helping with his education decides to take his own path and become a DJ.
Although initially not supportive, Mindy stepped in to help Rishi. While he is on a break from DJ school and his quest for a rap career in Season 5 when both visit their mother for some respite, we don't get the details as to what happened.
The Mindy Project , which was canceled after three seasons on Fox then picked up by Hulu through , eventually settled on its primary cast. However, Kaling downplayed the season 1 cast shakeups. As for Setton, The Mindy Project is in her rearview mirror as she cements herself deeper into the soap opera world where she can come and go — and not be forgotten.

Anna Camp was "downgraded" to a recurring role, but Kaling defended the creative decision by explaining that it's a "workplace" show so the stay-at-home mom BFF wouldn't appear much. But Camp only appeared in one other episode following her "recurring" status change. Fans assume that something similar happened with Setton's character, as both she and Camp ditched the show at the end of its debut season.
CheatSheet pointed out that Kaling didn't seem to think the cast changes were a big deal -- and maybe they weren't. But there's also the fact that the creative team was reluctant to tie Mindy's character more closely to Amanda's via a 'love triangle' concept. After all, the show was meant to be much more 'mature' than that.
