elizabeth macrae
lou-ann poovie is gomer's girlfriend throughout most of the series. she is from north carolina as well, and a sweet, somewhat naive, but always willing partner to gomer's misadventures, although she can also sometimes be fickle, capricious and prideful and can also get needlessly jealous and make incorrect assumptions when another woman makes a move on gomer, even though gomer makes clear he only has eyes for her. although very interested in music (she came to california for a music career), she is considered tone-deaf. her catchphrase is "well...actually..." lou-ann poovie was introduced and appeared in three episodes in the show's third season. she played gomer's girlfriend in the show's fourth and fifth seasons.
