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.

In a December 2007 interview with Wilson Morales, he asks Jill if she thinks the character Toni ran its course? JMJ responded:

“

No, I think if Toni came back and when I say no, I say it because there are brilliant writers on ‘Girlfriends’. There is so much more that you can do. For me and my career, my contract was up after six seasons and there's a whole film world that I wanted to experience and that's what I’ve been doing. I think if Toni came back to the show, there would be so much more to write and much more to bring. That's a testament to how great Mara and the rest of the writers are. [5] I wish them all well and I still watch the show. [6]
