I’ve never really been that great at saying goodbyes. I especially hate saying goodbyes to things I shouldn’t to say goodbye to – like Charlie leaving “Girls.” It has been eating up inside all week because a “Girls” episode without Charlie? Well, why bother watching, right? BuzzFeed compiled a list of 23 things we can now say goodbye to now that Charlie is leaving “Girls” and it pretty much just confirms my thoughts on this. NO ONE WANTS THIS TO HAPPEN.
Girls star Christopher Abbott has reportedly quit the show. Abbott – who plays Charlie, the boyfriend of Marnie (Allison Williams) – “abruptly” departed the HBO series ahead of its third season, according to the New York Post.The report claims that the actor chose to exit the comedy-drama following a creative dispute with Girls creator and star Lena Dunham.
“[Chris] is grateful for the experience of collaborating with Lena, Judd [Apatow], and the entire Girls cast and crew, but right now he’s working on numerous other projects and has decided not to return to the show,” his rep confirmed.
Um the main reason for why I watch Girls is because of Charlie! This is the saddest thing I’ve read all week. Where is Charlie going?! Why! Just why.

We’ve reached a consensus. The girls love Charlie. I have not come across anyone that has thought otherwise, but seriously how can you not love Charlie? If you’re not on this team, then there might be something wrong with you. Since the finale (last week,) I’ve spent several days working on this post – wondering what I would write about and how I could convey to all of you why Charlie is such a great character. There have been plenty of times where I have just decided that I love him more than any of the other Girls and characters on the show because of the apparent transformation and the depth that he has.
When we were first introduced to Charlie, he was the girl in the relationship. It was clear that Marnie wore the pants, but now – look at him! He went from being the pushover, to finding a rebound (like most normal people would,) to becoming a successful entrepreneur and then back to square one again. I don’t know a lot about relationships, but I love their story. I love that these two characters had to be confused and figure themselves out on their own before coming back together. Girls love Charlie because…we are Charlie – simply put. We are the ones that put everything out on the line and we love and we love and we love until we can’t anymore, but even after cold-hearted Marnie shot him down, he was still there. He’s always been there for her even when she was flailing and singing that horrid but awesome Kanye cover. We love Charlie because we get it and we’ve all been there before.
I’m not really sure what season 3 will hold for my favorite couple. There’s no way it can just be smooth sailing again, even though crossing our fingers we hope that the babies are on their way for them. Girls also love Charlie because we want a Charlie. Who wouldn’t?
Oh it’s St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow? I almost forgot because it’s actually the season finale of Girls and that’s all I’ve had on my mind. Questions that I need answered in this finale? Will Marnie get back together with Charlie? I sure hope so. Will Adam choose Hannah? I really liked Shiri Appleby’s character… What will Shoshanna do next?!
So many questions…need more than a 30-minute episode.
Nylon created this drinking game for tomorrow’s big event:
Throughout the episode (airing this Sunday, March 17 at 9pm on HBO), take a sip every time:
- Hannah takes her shirt off
- Adam takes his shirt off
- Marnie sings and makes everyone around her uncomfortable
- Shoshanna is wearing some insane hairstyle
- Jessa appears (seriously, what happened to her?)
- Charlie does something that just confirms he’s a total babe
- Ray wears dad jeans
- Patrick Wilson makes an appearance (it could happen…in our dreams)
- Someone gets married, breaks up, or ends up in Coney Island with just a piece of cake
Because this moment is unforgettable

I was unaware that Free People was making short films until now. This one called “Roshambo” also known as “Rock Paper Scissors,” stars one of my favorite characters in “Girls.” Oh yes, the darling and sweet Charlie. Marnie, you messed up. In this love story, “Charlie” is played by actor Christopher Abbott and he’s very much the romantic like his character in Girls except maybe a little harrier.
The short film highlights some pretty spectacular outfits, but also a pretty little love story in the process. The scenes are kind of out of sync, but I guess that’s the fun part because you get to decide if there are a series of flashbacks or a story of one’s relationship as a whole.

Readers today is a very big SUNDAY.
I woke up early today to watch my Seahawks play in the playoffs and while it was a great game and a fantastic comeback after the first half, we lost.
Sad day. As soon as the game finished, I had to switch gears and go straight into Golden Globes red carpet mode. I thought I was going to end up missing the show because of a happy hour that I had planned with some friends, but now that it has been rescheduled, I can now watch.
I’m giving a play-by-play of red carpet looks on my Twitter NOW and will be live-tweeting throughout the show.
Additionally, we’ve got a new ep. of Revenge and the premiere of Girls tonight so…there is my Sunday night.
Of course, expect a red carpet roundup post tomorrow!
