Alexis Bledel has already lined up her first post-Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life gig, but questions about more episodes of the revival could not escape her at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. More
Warning: Spoiler alert! Do not proceed if you haven’t finished watching all four episodes of Netflix’s Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.
Gilmore Girls star Matt Czuchry has some surprising advice for his character, Logan, following the shocking final scene.
In Netflix’s A Year in the Life, Logan and Rory (Alexis Bledel) engaged in a secret “friends with benefits” relationship — only Logan was engaged to Odette, often mentioned but never seen, and Rory was with Paul, her forgettable boyfriend. At the end of the revival, Rory revealed to her mother, Lorelai (Lauren Graham), that she was pregnant.
Though the father of Rory’s unborn child remains a mystery, it’s been speculated that Logan may very well be the dad. Czuchry shared the one piece of advice he’d give Logan following that emotional cliffhanger.
“Don’t marry Odette,” he said during a Facebook Live chat on Thursday. “Chase down Rory. Make that work. She is the love of your life. Odette, I always kind of looked at as part of his family obligations, so I would say, if I could give Logan one piece of advice, it would be to chase down Rory. Follow his heart.”
When asked how Logan would react if he learned that Rory…
Lauren Graham says she and her Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life costars are steering clear of the internet after the revival of the popular series debuted on Netflix last week.
During a panel discussion hosted by SAG-AFTRA in New York Tuesday night and streamed via Facebook Live, Graham was joined by Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop, and Scott Patterson. Moderator Gazelle Emami, an editor at New York Magazine, noted that some viewers have criticized Gilmore Girls characters for being “kind of awful sometimes and a little bit selfish.” She pointed to Paul — Rory’s neglected boyfriend whose name Luke and Lorelai can’t seem to remember. “There’s been a little bit more of a backlash against their characters this time around,” Emami said.
“We don’t pay attention to anything,” Graham responded. “We don’t know. None of us are on the internet, almost at all. So I know what you mean, but the show has a sense of humor, and that’s its sense of humor. And I think maybe it feels a little different; Rory’s not in high school anymore, so yes, as grown women constantly forgetting… I just thought it was a funny runner. But the whole show has a kind of heightened theatrical quality. I mean, just like Donald Trump, don’t take it literally. But unlike that, to me it was more of a metaphor for, this isn’t the right guy, and this is how they communicate about…
Her heart’s not in it? Since the Gilmore Girls revival’s Netflix launch on Friday, November 25, fans have been feverishly debating the twists and turns of Rory’s love life in the new episodes. Alexis Bledel (Rory) herself offered her take on the drama during an interview with Entertainment Tonight Saturday, November 26.
Rory has a boyfriend, Paul (Jack Carpenter), throughout Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life‘s four episodes, but that doesn’t stop her from getting cozy in London whenever possible with her former Yale sweetheart, Logan (Matt Czuchry), who happens to be engaged to a French heiress. Rory finally puts an end to the fling by handing Logan back the key he had given her to his family’s Maine home.
“It did surprise me,” Bledel told ET about Rory hooking up with her ex. “And I think it’s a little uncomfortable for [Rory], even though she’s kind of putting on a brave face that she’s fine with it.”
“I think she’s actually not that emotionally connected to it,” the Sin City actress continued. “I think she’s kind of just going through the motions at this point when we pick…
