TV.com summary

Girlfriends is a popular American sitcom centered on the lives of successful African American women living in Los Angeles, California. The show was created by Mara Brock Akil, and premiered on September 11, 2000 on UPN. After several years at the network on Mondays at 9:00, The CW moved Girlfriends to Sundays at 8:00 in October 2006. On October 9, 2006, Girlfriends, along with The CW's other African-American programs, moved back to Mondays. It now airs in its original timeslot. The move was prompted by low ratings and a highly critical article in the Los Angeles Times by staff writer [reg Braxton in which Mara Brock Akil suggested that the network was neglecting its African-American programs at the expense of those with primarily white audiences, like Gilmore Girls.[1]) Indeed, advertisements promoting the network's launch all but excluded Girlfriends and Brock's other program, The Game. Current network promotions, even in "urban" markets, continue to feature the network's white programs at the expense of Girlfriends. The theme song to Girlfriends is sung by R&B artist Angie Stone.

In the test Pilot, the original cast of Girlfriends included actresses Christina Cox and Leslie Silva in the roles of Lynn and Toni respectively, who were replaced with Persia White and Jill Marie Jones for the first official episode (Toe Sucking). Girlfriends was picked up for a full season after the ratings success of the first 13 episodes, according to rave reviews about the show's content in 2000.

The first official episode of "Girlfriends" "Toe Sucking" is also the pilot but has some re-shot scenes to include Persia White and Jill Marie Jones which is why the pilot is not the first episode. Very few story elements of the unaired pilot were later changed. Notable examples are the fact that Joan is preparing to make partner at her law firm; she hires Maya as her assistant; and her friends set out to find her a man.

• Joan Clayton: (Tracee Ellis Ross) Joan Carol Clayton is the unofficial "den mother" of the group, often looking out for the needs of her friends while placing her own on the back burner. Joan's parents divorced when she was twelve years old, and she moved to Fresno at approximately the same time, where she met Toni Childs. The two became best friends. She attended college at UCLA, earning her law degree. She later became a junior partner at Goldberg, Swedelson, McDonald and Lee, a prestigious Los Angeles law firm, and often struggled to gain the appreciation and respect of her colleagues. While on her quest to find "Mr. Right", Joan recently left the law firm and started her own restaurant and bar, the J-Spot, along with one of her closest friends William, who helped her start the business by investing in it.

• Maya Wilkes: (Golden Brooks) Maya Denise Wilkes was Joan's sassy assistant at the law firm. She was married to her high school sweetheart, an airport baggage handler named Darnell and the two have a son, Jabari. In the beginning of the series, she hates Toni because of her egotistical behavior. The two eventually learn to accept one another. A devoted wife and mother, Maya soon befriends Stan Wright, whom she sets up on a date with Joan. After growing jealous of the two, Maya expresses an attraction to Stan, which he later returns. When the two share a kiss, Maya is then uncomfortable with Stan's advances and terminates the relationship. Stan tried to threaten Maya's marriage but Darnell finds the truth another way. The result ends in the two getting a divorce. While newly single, Maya returns to school at a nearby community college and writes an essay. When the essay is rejected by her professor, she shows it to hair salon patrons, and decides to use her essay as the mold for her book, Oh Hell Yes. With the steady success of her book, she later works on her relationship with Darnell and the two finally reunite.

• Lynn Searcy: (Persia White) Lynn Ann Searcy was Joan and Toni's roommate at UCLA and lived with Joan for eight years before the series started. Lynn holds no less than five post-graduate degrees. Born to a black father and a white mother, Lynn was adopted by a white family in Seattle and did not embrace her black background until attending college, where she met Joan and Toni. When Joan decided it was time for Lynn move out of her home, Lynn reluctantly became more independent by receiving various types of employment and moving into her own apartment. Some of the odd jobs she has had included being a tour guide for Japanese tourists (and passing off the girlfriends' homes as celebrities' houses) and hosting a public access talk show. She also produced a documentary on the HIV/AIDS pandemic involving African-American women. Wanting to learn more about her parents, Lynn meets her biological mother, who in turn helps her contact her biological father. Her actions and comments often hint that she is a vegan (making vegan cornbread, etc) just like Persia White in real life. Like her girlfriends, she is still searching for her perfect match.

• William Dent: (Reggie Hayes) William Jerome Dent is Joan's closest male friend. He is senior partner at Goldberg, Swedelson, McDonald and Lee. He is also portrayed as somewhat of a "mama's boy" but possesses self-confidence and a dry sense of humor. After being left at the wedding altar by the woman he loved, Yvonne, he reluctantly gets back into the groove of dating numerous women, including the vicious at times Monica Charles Brooks (which is now his ex-wife) and senior partner Sharon Upton Farley. He later realizes that the right woman for him is Joan. After 3 months of courting, the two ended their relationship. He is now co-owner of the J-Spot with Joan.

• Antoinette "Toni" Marie Childs-Garrett: (Jill Marie Jones) Toni Marie Childs-Garrett is Joan's friend since childhood and they went away to school together at UCLA. Toni grew up in a poor family with an alcoholic mother in Fresno. She has six siblings (three sisters and three brothers). Toni met Joan when they were in grade school, and the two became best friends. Toni is much more vain than her girlfriends and is the self-proclaimed "cute one" of the group. At the beginning of the show, she despised Maya but later the two came to settle their differences. Toni is a real-estate agent and has sold many houses, including one to singer Beyoncé. Toni unexpectedly found love with Todd Garrett, a Jewish white plastic surgeon, whom she eventually marries. After a rocky year-long marriage, the two separated after Todd moved to New York; Toni later accused Todd of adultery. The birth of their daughter, Morgan Garrett, brings forth new issues for her self-indulgent personality, but she soon finds a way to balance career, being single and motherhood, while trying to fight a custody battle with Todd over the welfare of Morgan. She and Todd came to a mutual agreement and settled their differences for the sake of Morgan. She now resides in New York so that Morgan can be closer to her father.

• Darnell Wilkes: (Flex Alexander in season one, Khalil Kain in season two to the present) is Maya's husband. The two are back together as of the current season.

• Monica Charles Brooks-Dent: (Keesha Sharp) is William's Ex-Wife. All four of the girlfriends (except for Joan who became her friend and saw her nice side and Toni who moved to New York at the end of the sixth season) hated her until season 7 when they slowly started accepting Monica. Although engaged to William, the two dated twice before; they met at a bar the first time at the Blue Bar. Since the last time William proposed to her (in Monaco),he has occasionally had doubts about ever doing so. Eventually he marries her but on their wedding day he has to much to drink and lets it slip that he had and still has doubts about marrying her. She leaves William in season 7 but returns shortly When The Girlfriends go to Chicago to persuade Monica to get back together with William. But When they Go There they Find Out that Monica has been cut off from her family fortune,so Joan offers Monica a job at the J-Spot. Williams Was thrilled that Monica Was back until she demands half of what he earned while they were Married. Though they manage to slowly rebuild their relationship, they constantly clash at the J-Spot.

Unfortunately, in the meantime, Joan (unaware that Greg and Toni are even still together) accidentally tells Greg that Toni is engaged to another man, prompting him to dump her. After a chance meeting at a restaurant, Toni declares her love for Greg and manages to win him back.

Two years later, Greg reaches out to Toni after her fiancee, Todd, failed to deliver a remorseful message from Greg before the wedding.

She didn't tell me. All she said when we talked was that she felt it was time for her to move on. The door is not closed. We've asked her to come back and have offered different ways for her to return. But I completely wish her well. There's no drama involved." The show will now deal with Toni's loss through Joan's struggles. [2].
