Cast Of Girlfriends Reunites On ‘black-ish’
There’s very exciting news for fans of the hit TV show Girlfriends. The show, which previously aired on both UPN and The CW, and its stars Tracee Ellis Ross, Golden Brooks, Persia White, and Jill Marie Jones will reunite on an upcoming episode of black-ish, Entertainment Weekly Reports.
“The timing was perfect to be able to bring Girlfriends to a whole new audience. We haven’t all been together on camera since 2006,” Ross told EW.
BEVERLY HILLS, CA – FEBRUARY 21: (L-R) Actresses Jill Marie Jones, Persia White, Golden Brooks and Tracee Ellis Ross attend the Sixth Annual ESSENCE Black Women In Hollywood Awards Luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel on February 21, 2013 in Beverly Hills, California.
“Girlfriends ran for eight years and was important to so many people. Being able to merge the worlds of black-ish and Girlfriends was surreal for me — and so much fun. These are women I grew up with and love deeply and it was easy to tap back into the magic of our chemistry and how much we love each other. It was giggles on top of giggles on top of giggles.”
The women who portrayed Joan, Maya, Lynn, and Toni will appear on the Oct. 8 episode of Ross’ ABC comedy in an episode titled “Feminisn’t.”
ABC described the episode featuring the girl gang as thus: “When Bow [Ross] learns that Diane [Marsai Martin] and Ruby [Jenifer Lewis] don’t believe in feminism, she brings Diane to meet the women in her feminist group. Bow’s friend Abby [guest stare Nadia Quinn] thinks the group needs to be more inclusive, so Bow invites three of her girlfriends to join. Meanwhile, Junior [Marcus Scribner] and Jack [Miles Brown] help Dre [Anthony Anderson] after he realizes he is out of touch with modern-day feminism.
