Fans love all the characters, especially Jill and Tammy
While "Mom" initially centered on Bonnie Plunkett (Allison Janney) rebuilding her relationship with daughter, Christy (Anna Faris), both in recovery, it ended focusing more on the strong bonds between their group of friends. Despite Faris' sudden departure (https://www.looper.com/243911/anna-faris-is-leaving-mom-heres-why/), fans still loved the show and its remaining cast: Jill (Jaime Pressley), Marjorie (Mimi Kennedy), Wendy (Beth Hall), and Tammy (Kristen Johnston) (https://www.looper.com/946029/why-mom-fans-rain-compliments-on-kristen-johnston-as-tammy/). "I absolutely love this show and didn't feel the loss of Anna [Faris] made that much of an impact," a Newsweek commenter (https://www.openweb.com/share/2AZpBxA1RVGjObl9Dwg1UNXSVrT) said. "The other characters are strong enough to carry the show and [storylines]."
Redditor u/Dolphoodle (https://www.reddit.com/r/CBS_Mom/comments/nd84yl/post_mom_talk_if_you_could_pick_who_should_get/) started a discussion about which character should get a potential spin-off of the show. Their primary choice was Southern belle Jill. "She always had interesting stories and it would be cool to see a continuation of her story," they said. They also felt Wendy hadn't gotten enough material, and Tammy's story seemed unfinished. While a few commenters also said Wendy — u/LadyBug_0570 (https://www.reddit.com/r/CBS_Mom/comments/nd84yl/comment/h1mzpdq/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) wants to know why Wendy was arrested in her scrubs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV0nwud8IvY&t=78s&ab_channel=MightyCougar535) — and a couple said Christy or Marjorie, the majority of responses agreed they'd like either Jill or Tammy — or both together.
But fans shouldn't hold their breath. Though the show doesn't tie up all the storylines, co-creator Gemma Baker didn't feel the need. "That's not [how life] works," she told TVLine (https://tvline.com/2021/05/13/mom-series-finale-ending-explained-adam-lung-cancer/). She also admitted, "We aren't going to see new stories about these characters, but we wanted [the series finale] to express that the journey continues."
