Why did Tony and Angela break up? (SPOILERS)


In the final episode the broke up because Tony got a good job in Iowa. He later returned to Conneticut to apply for as a housekeeper again at Angela's and she re-hires him....If he came back to Conneticut, why did he only come back as a housekeeper?

reply

The reason he went to Iowa was that he couldn't find a job in his field in Connecticut. He returned because he wanted to be with Angela, and decided to become the housekeeper again, temporarily, while he looked for a job in his field.

reply

Yes, but since they would then both be living in Conneticut, then they should had gotten back together....though mind you I like the series better when he was just your part of the family housekeeper

reply

They did get back together - she asked what his qualifications were and he kissed her, and she said, "You're hired".

reply

I took it as he didn't return as the housekeeper. He returned to Angela.

reply

They broke up because they couldn't handle the long distance relationship. He quit his job though because it had no meaning to him without having Angela in his life. I don't think he was really going to be her housekeeper again, he'd find another job. But they were going to get back together. I read that originally Tony and Angela were supposed to get married in the final season but they decided against it because they thought people wouldn't want to rewatch the series in syndication.

YES that's exactly right :)
