Jill Marie Jones lands TBS microseries

Jill Marie Jones made a surprising move in 2006 when she decided to leave the hit sitcom, "Girlfriends." The show had made her into a star and she was a fan-favorite. For as long as the show ran without her, they left the door open for a return for Jones' Toni Childs. That return never happened and the show was cancelled.

In the time since the questionable cancellation of the series, Jones has fallen completely off of the map. She has been long gone from the spotlight. Some were beginning to assume that she had given up the limelight. It has been some time since Jill Marie Jones has been exposed to the public. However, she, like many others, is preparing a comeback.

Because it has been four years since she was among the top black entertainers, she will not be thrust right back into a marquee role. Instead, she will be starring in a microseries on TBS, similar to the one Elise Neal stars in. Ever since UPN merged and folded, there has been a void in the black community and TBS has been there trying to fill it. They have taken another step in that direction by linking with Jones.

Jill Marie Jones will star in the new series, "Gillian in Georgia," which follows Gillian (Jones), as she visits her family in Georgia. She is a hip New Yorker that is not used to visiting in the country. The microseries will also star Darrin Henson, as her love interest, Shondrella Avery, as her sister, and James Mathis III.
