But I would have been BOO hoo'n all over if they did bring her back....I Miss her character so much!

I think this is the last show tho.....I don't think it will last and come back next season! I am really happy for Joan tho,,,her dream finally came true!

I agree! They had WAY too many characters in it for it not to be the series finale! Joan's mom & dad, people she went to law school with, etc. But, I'm with everyone else, I was hoping, praying, sitting on the edge of my seat thinking Toni was going to make an appearance...

And I too was boo-hooing when Aaron proposed!! I love Aaron for Joan, he puts up with all her crazies...

(I think they based the Joan Clayton character off me, we are like a crazy--straightjack match!!

)

I will be so sad if the show doesn't come back...I will miss me some Girlfriends!

I loved the season finale as well. It was soooooo beautiful. Aaron had everyone there to see him propose to Joan. I was not expecting some of those people to be there. The setting and set up of getting Joan there was awesome. I knew that Toni wasn't going to be there. I mean, let's be real. William and Monica were in their own world thinking everything was about them. Hilarious!!!

I thought Toni was coming back too. I kept watching it saying, "...Okay...and then Toni...and theeeen Toni...Toni?!" to no avail. It was still good either way. I also think they set it up this way in the event that the show doesn't return next season.

And they STILL need to bring back Half & Half!

I loved it! However, I was just like y'all, waitin' on the edge of my seat for Toni to walk through that door and say somethin' sassy like, "It's 'bout time, girl! We gettin' old waitin' on you to get yo' self a man!" I was NOT happy that they didn't bring her back for the proposal. OMG! That proposal had me in tears! It was sooo beautiful. Best believe I had me a talk with God about gettin' a beautiful proposal like that (not exactly like Joan's, but with the same kind of romantic vibe).

Now since they didn't have the tenacity to bring Toni back for the proposal, let's all hope that should the show return in the fall, Toni will show up for the wedding.

I wanted Toni to come back however knowing Toni she would have made it all about her and Fresno! I hope the show comes back for another season, I want to see how Joan envisions her wedding and whether Brock will come back for her love.

You are so right, but if there is actually a wedding, maybe that would be a good place for Toni to show up at.

Having her come to the engagement galla would have shifted all the attention on Toni (as she always loved).

I finally watched it on the 'net this morning. Very good episode. I'm with everyone else who just knew that Toni was going to come out of that door with Todd and Morgan. It says a lot about Aaron that he invited all of those folks to share in their moment. That's a good brotha!

It's also possible that Jill Marie Jone didn't want to come back to the show.
If I recall correctly, she left the show.

Urbanizd---I agree, bring back Half & Half!! I loved that show. Big Dee's wigs, Lil' Dee's clothes, Mona's boyfriend...what was not to love?

I think that if the show returns and if Toni returns (for the wedding), Jill Marie Jones won't play Toni.

If that's the case, I'd rather they leave Toni alone and leave where she is.

OK, see I need to rewatch it (I still have it on my DVR) because I don't recall Todd & Morgan coming out the door. I must have zoned out on that moment or either my better half distracted me with his frequent questions...I'm telling you, by the time the show ended, I just wanted to buy him the season to watch in its entirety...I felt like a sports anchor delivering play-by-play moments.

I didn't say that Todd and Morgan came out of the door. I was hoping and wishing that Toni, Todd and Morgan came out of the door with the rest of the special people.

Girlfriends was renewed for an 8th season as a 22 episode order.
I was praying for them to show Toni. I was a little surprised to see Tia (or Tamara (sp.?), which ever one it is) and her co-star come through the door, why??? But I know they are both Kelsey Grammar shows, but it still should have been Toni! It was a very good show. I was in tears towards the end, probably because I was not sure if I was looking at the final show or what. But I did some research this morning and found on the web that there is going to be an 8th. Thank God! The show is still so popular.
