Insightful on all fronts.
We’re still all sorts of buzzed to see the group back together and truly feel this will serve as the precursor to a ‘Girlfriends’…something. Be that a movie? Revival series.
JILL MARIE JONES CHARACTER WAS TONI CHILDS, NOT JOAN…THAT WAS TRACI ELLIS ROSS.
Whew yall journalism is so ghetto. Jill Marie was Toni Childs, not Joan. How do yall not know that just on your own?
You know this site sucks when they get the characters name wrong. Imagine saying Jill played Joan smh.
Whoever wrote this isn’t a True Girlfriends fan. PERIOD.
And whoever did a read through if that even happened didn’t catch it. and they are not Fans either. LOL
We love all of our Girlfriends and Reggie. LOL
Tony, be honest. You got the big head. The audience started loving you more than Traci, who became jealous of your growing fans. You got the big head but forgot that you were a black girl with dark skin; therefore, your chances of success were limited.
wow….deep and this is so the story of En Vogue. So many parallels.
I loved Girlfriends I would love if it came back my family was a mirror of some of shows
