Common new girlfriend Continue On July 29, Netflix announced that it had acquired the rights to seven black-led sitcoms and would roll out those shows starting Aug. Among the sitcoms making a comeback is CW's Girlfriends. From 2000-2008, Girlfriends was one of the highest-rated scripted shows on television among African-American adults. The show was followed by friends, Joan, Mia, Tony and Lynn, as they tried to navigate adulthood. Now that groundbreaking series will soon be available to stream on Netflix, we wonder what the cast has been up to since the show went on the air? The cast of Girlfriends: Jill Jones, Trace Ellis Ross, Persia White, and Golden Brooks Jean-Paul Aussenard/WireImage Tracee Ellis Ross During the eight- season run of the show Trace Ellis Ross played Joan Clayton, a career lawyer who many considered the unofficial den-mother of his group of friends. While Girlfriends was not Ross's first acting project, it certainly soared its fame to new heights and set the standard for its future in the entertainment industry. After the show ended in 2008, Ross starred in several television series, including Private Practice, Bad Girls and CSI. She also landed a starring role in the BET comedy Reed between the lines, but only did one season. Then, in 2014, Ross was cast as Dr. Rainbow Johnson in the hit ABC sitcom Black-ish. Today she still stars as a female lead on the show and has earned countless awards and nominations for her portrayal. RELATED: Tracee Ellis Ross is reportedly the new guy and he's someone from Black-ish In 2020 Ross starred as Grace Davis, the legendary superstar singer, in the musical comedy-drama film High Note. She even made her film debut. Jill Marie Jones Jill Marie Jones image loud and bougie Tony Childs-Garrett was one that will always be remembered. Although she became a friend many loved to hate because of her selfish ways, her storyline kept viewers entertained until Jones left the show in 2006. Since his departure, Jones has continued to act on television and has even continued to appear in several films, including The Perfect Feast alongside queen Latifah, Terrence Howard, Morris Chestnut, and Gabrielle Union and, 35th Tiking. Persia White Known as the free spirit of Lynn Searcy, Persia White never managed to make fans laugh with her image. After Girlfriends ended in 2008, she co-produced the award-winning documentary Earthlings, narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, and released her debut album Mecca. White also went on to star and appeared in The Vampire Diaries in a semi-recurring role. In 2014, she also married Vampire Diaries actor Joseph Morgan. Golden Brooks Since her eight seasons run both sassy and rants filled Wilkes, Golden Brooks has kept adding projects to her impressive resume. In addition to the starring role An independent film, Brooks has also made appearances in such shows as The Fall of Dead Diva Life, Hart Dixie, Blunt Talk, and Yellowstone. She also starred as one of five leads on TV One's reality show, Hollywood Divas, from 2014-2016. Reggie Hayes Hayes starred as William Dent, a senior partner at the law firm Joan, who was something of a pretty mom's boy with a dry sense of humor. Like his gal pals, William also tried to navigate working life and dating while living in Los Angeles. After Girlfriends ended, Hayes appeared in several films and television shows, including Criminal Minds, Will and Grace, Charlie's Angels, and NCIS. Hayes is also a strong supporter of his community and has continued to help various charities over the years. RELATED: Tracee Ellis Ross reunites with Girlfriends In The Cast that night, my girlfriend passed out on me. A full-blown, deep sleep could not wake her up if I tried. She spoke to me animatedly one minute, and snoozing the next. When she finally came to her senses, she groggily asked for some jewelry she had left earlier. In fact, can I just have everything I've ever left here? She muttered. All? I asked, since she usually keeps a change of clothes in my house in case. That's it, she muttered. She collected everything, and left without having a word for me. I thought it was a joke. The next day she didn't know why she did it, and barely remembered going home. She was very tired,' she said. You'd think it me off, but I'm used to it. The ex-girlfriend asked me to come and hang out, but by the time I got home in 20 minutes, she'd be asleep. Completely out. I wrote, called, rang the doorbell and nothing. It was like Sleeping Beauty, except that instead of eternal sleep, the curse was that I spent 20 minutes on the phone outside in the cold rather than playing video games at home. It happened all the time. At least once a month. One day when I really managed my way inside, I tried to wake her up by telling her there was a fire. She rolled over with the concentrated indifference of the slumbering, muttered: What? Fire? and fell asleep. I've seen women fall asleep in the middle of a sentence and need - need - to take the power of the SNP. I saw them fall asleep during video games. I sometimes fall asleep on the couch, but I never did it in the middle of an event. Because of all this, I just always assumed that women were more sleepy than men. So I did the investigation at the staff meeting. Do you know how women are always more tired? I am tired. I was quickly ridiculed. It's not a thing every woman in the room told me in unison. As they laughed at my stories of girlfriends drunk with drowsiness, I began to doubt my sanity. Why the hell is my point of view so distorted? I'm what, attracts women who suffer from somnambulism and narcolepsy? Am I just so bored that I can put people in a trance like a dream with the hum of my voice? I remember the first couple of times it happened. At first I was annoyed, but I was young enough that I came to take it. Your girlfriend comes and falls asleep and you just watch TV and try not to wake her up. That's how dating works. My mother - and her mother before her - found true love by sleeping peacefully on her boyfriend's couch, and a few years later I was born. Yes? Over the years, my thesis has been backed up by a difficult female age after a difficult female age. I saw a friend of mine falling asleep while eating fried chicken, eating on the way to her mouth. How could you sleep over a chicken? And my male friends didn't pass out on my couch. One day a woman I didn't know asked if she could take a nap in my roommate's bed during a party because she was tired. (Note: She wasn't drunk.) Guys would never do that. Needing someone to confirm my life as a tired woman, I called Dr. Nancy Simpkins, a certified therapist specializing in women's health. Was there really anything in my theory of women more affected by fatigue? Recent studies have shown that lack of sleep affects men worse than women, she told me. A. So not only are my relationships not normal, they are the opposite of normal. After snatching, I pushed Dr. Simpkins for details. The study, she said, also found that women with low amounts of vitamin B6 and iron were more affected by fatigue than men with these deficiencies, so that's something. It's a sprain, but it's something. Young women are coping differently, she continued. With alcohol, they will feel washed out. Women's metabolism will not handle it the way men do. I don't think any of my girlfriends were drunkards, but it's possible that nights of serious drinking could make women sleeper than men in the days that followed. Science doesn't quite disprove my theory. So I've encountered several possibilities: I'm a whirlwind of boredom, the women I meet don't eat enough fish, and/or they're all closet alcoholics. I would like to think that I am not so bored that my mere presence sends people care wildly in fatigue so severe they can't resist the urge to sleep. Or that I'm such a horrible person that people pretend to be dead so they don't have to deal with me like you're a bear. There's a theory of alcohol recycling, which I suppose may be true, but I don't think every woman I know sneaks a bit of vodka when I'm not looking. Maybe just maybe all of their diets are so poor that their low iron levels give them the sleep habits of newborns. Maybe in city gas leak, or curse from the evil wizard. I'm willing to take almost any response to this this Anyway, now that my world has been shaken, I'm not quite sure how to proceed. Is secretly monitoring your girlfriend's sleep cycles spooky? Or spiking her drinks with iron supplements? Should I plan more dates that really get adrenaline pumping (skydiving?). I think sleepy women are just my type and my burden is borne. Sometimes literally when she falls asleep on the couch.
