know what happened to donna? i hope she's not gone for good. i miss the romantic tension between her and josh. thoughts? speculation?

1. I've heard that she's on now and then

However, I haven't seen her once yet this season. It seems like the writers might flirt with tensions between Jeneane's character and Josh.

I was always a fan of the Toby/CJ slight tension. But with that future shot we got of everyone at Bartlet's library opening and CJ had child with Danny the writers killed that for me.

2. yeah

that little clip from the future kinda ruled that out. i actually miss danny's character. overally i really liked the small romantic subplots. i was always rooting for donna and josh to get together. although, i bet if that did happen it probably would have been a huge let down after.

4. Wow, I never picked up on any tension between CJ and Toby.

I assume you mean of the sexual nature?

I was always rooting for CJ and Danny and I'm kind of glad to know that's how it turns out (unless, of course, the opening segment was all a dream, ala Dallas. ;) )

5. Flirtatious in a fun way

(between CJ and Toby) very subtle and I liked that. It will be interesting to see how CJ and Toby will act in the next couple episodes as he went so far in drawing this whole leak thing out.

10. My favorite CJ, Toby exchange

When Leo was handing out Big Block of Cheese Day assignments and Toby got the one addressing the WTO protesters.

CJ: (After telling Toby she negotiated a no-camera deal with the media when Toby meets with the mob): You wanna make out with me right now, don't you?

Toby: Well, when don't I?

Never really saw them as a couple, but stranger things have happened, I guess...

11. I remember that exchange

but it never struck me as serious flirting. I wasn't even sure that they liked each other so I certainly didn't pick up on any flirting. I asked my husband and he never picked up on it either. Not saying it wasn't there just -- WHOOSH! -- over our heads! :)

[AngryOldDem]

12. No, it wasn't serious....

...what made it funny was the deadpan, matter-of-factness of the exchange. That whole scene was well done. Toby bitching about the protesters and how things were done "back in his day," when he went to better-organized protests with his sisters and he "was home in time for supper on a school night," as CJ said.

Really well-written stuff!

3. I doubt we'll see her on WW again

She asked Josh for a job and Josh basically told her to take a hike due to things she'd said in the primaries about Santos. I think she worked for Russell. As others have said she wasn't in the opening look at the future...

6. Donna will be back

And will work in some communications capacity for Santos.

7. do you have some

intimate knowledge of this? or are you just hoping like me?

[SharonRB]

8. I still think she'll be back -- she and Josh have just got to

wind up together before the show goes off the air. It's just meant to be.

[MalachiConstant]

9. i sure hope so

[MalachiConstant]

13. ok, you'll have to check this out.

14. This is good news and doesn't surprise me a bit

There had to be a way to get her into the campaign somehow to throw them together. They will get together -- I just know it.
