So occasionally I come across an interesting claim/conspiracy theory on this website
Tumblr media
This theory is that Jess was supposed to be in season 7 of Gilmore Girls, but after the Palladinos left Milo boycotted the show and refused to show up for guest appearances. Fair enough, even though Milo was doing 22 episodes a year for Heroes on another network at the time and probably didn’t have a lot of time anyway (sometimes rival networks let their stars do guest appearances on other networks and sometimes they don’t). Amy showed up for Milo’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony last year and he credited her in his speech and she wrote a role for him in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Maybe loyalty did explain why he didn’t show up, even if it wasn’t the only factor.
However, the weirdest part of the theory is not that he didn’t show up during that year, but that the original season 6 finale was not Lorelai running to Christopher and sleeping with him two minutes after giving Luke an ultimatum, but that Rory was going to show up in Philadelphia instead. ASP allegedly switched the endings after her contract talks fell through.
I don’t know if it was possible to do this. According to this interview the Palladinos did with Michael Ausiello, they had decided to walk away by April 26. The season 6 finale aired two weeks later on May 6. Was it possible to change the endings at that time? Would they have been able to do so? Hell if I know. However, some quotes from that article indicate they probably didn’t intend for it to originally be Rory showing up on her ex’s door instead of Lorelai.
Ausiello: Based on the mail I've been reading, a lot of fans don't buy the April obstacle. As you know, they were pissed off before she ever appeared on the screen. And at the time, you asked them to have a little faith. So, cut to April 24: April has driven a wedge between Luke and Lorelai. If the spoilers are to be believed (SPOILER ALERT), Lorelai will end up in Christopher's bed in the finale, and now you guys are leaving. It looks like you asked them to have faith, then you split Luke and Lorelai up, threw her in bed with Christopher, and quit. What do you have to say to that? [ Crickets] Dan: I've got nothing to say to that. Amy: Yeah, that's something. You know what, that's a good story line. We should use that. Dan: You know, in the very beginning of the series, in the first year with Alexis Bledel with that beautiful baby face as Rory, if we had said in three years we're going to have this girl lose her virginity to a married man, our heads would've been chopped off, put on pikes and paraded around Burbank. Amy: Which Warner. Bros. is still negotiating for, by the way. [ Laughs] Dan: I'm basically repeating what Amy said: We try to follow the characters and we also try to make it as interesting as possible. And I've always felt with spoilers, a lot of people hear about a plot point seven episodes down the line without taking into account what happens in the episodes in between now and then. I've always sort of been astonished by that. That's why I say if in the first year you had heard that [about Rory], a lot of people would have turned off their televisions like, "This is going to turn into a soap opera." And that was a very controversial story line for us.
That really doesn’t sound like they had another ending planned in the first place. Also, they’re being total assholes about this plot point, but that’s another issue.
They also had this to say about Matt Czuchry.
But when you see stuff happening, and when scenes and moments happen that you didn't think could happen before, and when you add a kid like Matt Czuchry to the show and all of a sudden it brings in different layers and different stories and different textures, it's like, it doesn't have to end.
It certainly doesn’t sound to me that they were intending to relegate Logan to the background in that hypothetical ASP-penned seventh season, as he was still a main cast member.
Tumblr media
For the record, I hate, hate, HATE that Lorelai ghosted Luke for several days, threw an enormous temper tantrum in the street in which she demanded to be placed at a higher priority than his child (how do you think it would have gone if it went the other way?) and then ran off to screw Christopher when she didn’t get the answer she wanted. It was malicious, cruel, and massively damaging to everyone involved and definitely indicated she was not ready to make major life decisions. However, Luke and Lorelai’s relationship had been deteriorating for months and Christopher was set up as a viable alternative. ASP even has him play Prince Charming and take Lorelai as a date to a wedding of her fiance’s employee just so she can try to sell him to us as chivalrous. I honestly believe if Luke and Lorelai had just sat down and had a normal conversation like grown ups and called a custody lawyer then this never would have happened, but that’s not the way it went. Unfortunately, it wasn’t surprising.
Rory giving up on Logan and running off to hook up with Jess didn’t have the same set-up. In the first place, she had already pulled this shit a few weeks before when she takes Logan back after finding out about the bridesmaids but is still angry with him, goes off to visit Jess when Logan is out of town, lets him believe she is single, kisses him, and then comes clean and says she can’t go through with it because she still loves Logan. They both acknowledge that what she did is fucked-up, that Jess doesn’t deserve to be treated like that, and she apologizes and leaves. Then Logan almost dies and she determines she’s going to stand by him and is sad to see him leave the country.
Given all that had happened a few weeks earlier, why would Rory then run off to cheat with Jess again when both of them know that he is unwilling to engage in that with her and she’s sorry that she tried to use him before? Why would she do that to Logan, who she went back to? Why would this at all be something anyone would want to happen for all three people involved, and why wouldn’t Jess tell her to fuck off if she tries to make him her sidepiece for the third time?
It just sounds like a nightmare scenario for all three of them. Even if Rory wanted to do that, I have to believe that at this stage of her life she would care enough about Jess not to do that to him (or to Logan, who she should probably break up with if she keeps trying to cheat on him) and she would respect his boundaries in this way.
Because in a show with so much cheating and love triangle shenanigans, Jess is one of the few characters who has the principles to stay out of the fray. Rory flirts with him for a year and even visits him alone in New York, but he doesn’t try to initiate anything. She’s the one who kisses him, before ignoring him for months and refusing to break up with her boyfriend. When she gets jealous of his new girlfriend, he reminds her she’s got no right to his time or company after the way she acted. When Dean breaks up with her, he refuses to touch her until he’s broken things off with Shane first. And as mentioned before, he doesn’t initiate anything when she comes to see him until he seemingly confirms she is available.
Who else lives up to these kinds of standards? Rory doesn’t. Lorelai doesn’t. Christopher doesn’t. Dean doesn’t. Paris doesn’t. Logan certainly doesn’t. Even Richard with his decades of secret lunches with Pennilyn Lott crosses the line. Why do people want to take that way from one of the few characters who won’t get involved in this shit? Let the man keep his dignity. It’s season 6. Almost everyone else has none left.
I suppose in an alternate scenario Rory could have broken up with Logan and then showed up on Jess’s door, but none of her behavior indicated she was intending on doing that and since Matt was a main cast member and Milo wasn’t, it probably wasn’t going to happen this way.
So since we’ve determined that I think Rory showing up on Jess’s door while still with Logan is a horrible idea, let me illustrate two alternate scenarios where Jess shows up in S7.
Alternate Scenario 1: Logan and Rory remain in a stable relationship. Jess shows up when his sister is born. I think you could do a lot with this even if he never interacts with Rory: he has this new sibling, who is going to be raised in the stable environment that he never had, while Luke is starting to realize how badly he messed up with Lorelai and starting to fight for custody of April. There’s a lot to unpack here just with his family alone (maybe he writes a reference letter for the custody trial, too). However, across town Rory has her own much younger half sister living in her house, in the nuclear family she never had as a child, and yet she knows things are not exactly right with her parents marriage. What a dilemma for them to bond over (platonically). If everything still happens the way it did in the OG season 7, the door is open for a possible relationship between them at the end of the story. Milo keeps his main gig, there’s an entire season with no cheating, and everyone keeps their dignity. Sounds beautiful to me.
Alternate Scenario 2: Rory and Logan do not have a stable relationship, and Logan never leaves the life that was planned for him. I suppose they would have to be somewhat involved for most of the season, as the show really isn’t interested in Logan having an arc outside of its effect on Rory (season 7 tries, but it still mostly boils down to how it’s going to affect her). I guess Jess would have to emerge as more of an alternative in this scenario, but nothing physically happens until she’s parted with Logan. I guess this is more problematic overall, but it definitely seems preferable to her trying to cheat on Logan with Jess twice in a month after she’s well aware that she’s mistreating both of them by doing this.
I guess this scenarios aren’t perfect, but they seem better to me than what so many fans wanted to happen. I do wish for Milo and Jess’ sake that he had gotten more closure in the OS, but it wasn’t to be. And of course, I wish that season 6 had not ended the way that it did in the first place.

From my cover shoot with Matt Czuchry for @photobookmagazine • How does it feel to be in the fifth season of “The Resident?” "I was just talking about this the other day with our cast and crew. To reflect on all of the ups and downs is quite emotional. So much life and work has happened for all of us dating from when the pilot was shot in 2017 through filming our current season five in 2022. We uprooted from our respective homes and moved to Atlanta, have been through a Disney merger, a once in 100-year pandemic that is still ongoing, social justice movements, individuals who are connected to this show have passed away, multiple cast and crew members have had children and those kids are now in various stages of schooling, and by this season’s end we will have filmed countless scenes and completed close to 100 episodes. In some respects, it feels like a long, challenging, and beautiful journey. In other respects, it feels like a blink of an eye. Time is so confounding that way. I am incredibly grateful for every second, the tough stuff and the good stuff, that I have experienced being a part of this deeply special production." Check out in PhotoBook.

anonymous asked: I get annoyed when I hear gg fans say 'oh rory should have married logan' or 'it doesnt make sense that she turned him down' even after the revival act like her and logan would just be together if he found out abt the baby.. didnt alexis even say that she didnt love him in the revival she was just going back to something comfortable
I agree, I still find it weird how some people even think that Amy was 'team Logan all along' by writing the revival as if Rory and Logan's entire affair isn't used as a plot device for Rory to get pregnant and mirror her mother's life, or isn't even properly discussed with both of them because it's an affair?? Logan is obviously intent on getting married to another woman, even when Rory broke it off the first time he still tried to convince her to sooner live in one of his family houses than for them to be together. And to this his fans always say the same old ridiculous argument which is that Rory 'should have told him not to'. Like first off, why exactly? Logan is a grown up in his 30s by now, there's really zero reason why Rory should even make such a suggestion when it's his life and ultimately his own choice as well to get married to Odette, regardless of whether or not his family wants him to or doesn't. And even that argument is a pretty hollow one because the same season 7 that they fawn over regarding Logan HAD him telling Mitchum he doesn't want to work for him and Mitchum didn't even do anything to him when he said that? He didn't even cut him off of his inheritance or family name or anything, so frankly the only real conclusion that I can come to from this is that Logan does seem to want or at the very least will get married to Odette, and this goes beyond whatever his family wants for him because like I said, he's a grown man.
And yes, Alexis did say that and to be honest I agree with her assessment? There's just zero going on in the affair aside from them either talking about work or arranging to meet up with each other, Summer doesn't even have them be in the same room together but it's just about them breaking off the affair because Odette moved in. And honestly so much of the affair just sounded so.....lackluster to me? It just felt more like a convenient arrangement for Rory in the beginning because she would be in London for her job, and Logan's reaction to Rory breaking it off (twice) was just "*sigh* if that's what you want". Like I don't know how I can interpret this other than him not really being all that invested in it either, and no offense to Matt Czuchry, but his interviews and quotes outside of the series can only go so far when his character is dictated by the writing that he doesn't have input in. There's a solid reason why Logan and Rory end in the beginning of Fall just before both Rory and Lorelai make up and Rory starts trying to get her life back on track, and it really doesn't have anything to do with 'them being meant to be'.

Logan is a cheater though, even if you were to say that he didn't cheat on Rory with those girls, he's a cheater in the revival because he's cheating on his fiancee with Rory. No amount of bias or love for the character can deny that fact, and yeah, Rory cheats in that too, but so does Logan. He has every capability in his hands to break up with his fiancee and stop treating Rory as a mistress but he doesn't. So at the end of the day, he's still a cheater when he shouldn't be.
You’re right. In the revival he is a cheater. I don’t love that, but like you said Rory is a cheater too. She cheated on Dean with Jess, cheated WITH Dean, and cheated on Logan with Jess to get back at him when she believed he had cheated on her. I’ve never hated her for it then and I don’t hate her for it now. I never liked the cheating, but it didn’t spoil her character for me, nor does it spoil Logan for me now. 
In real life I do not condone cheating, would never cheat, and would be devastated if I was cheated on, but in television there are times when I can forgive it. I think it’s because we, as viewers, have the advantage of seeing the story from all sides and witness what each character is feeling. When it comes to matters of the heart, things are not always black and white. Love can be messy and there are a lot of grey areas.
When I first watched the revival I was upset with the Logan and Rory story line. I remember being so disappointed that they did that to their characters. However, 4 years later, after having some time to mull it over and properly digest it, I have softened towards the situation. I am still not happy that they were cheating but I have come to a better understanding of what their motivations might have been and accept that even though they were doing something hurtful to their partners, that does not mean they are bad people, nor were their characters completely ruined.
First of all the reason that he was engaged to someone in the revival was because ASP needed a reasonable excuse for them not to end up together so that she could end with Rory pregnant and potentially having to raise the child on her own, like Lorelai. If he was not already in a serious relationship there would be nothing holding him back from being with Rory and raising the baby with her and ASP’s cyclical journey would be ruined. 
Now, as for the issue of him having the power to break it off with his fiancé and stop treating Rory like a mistress... I think it is more complicated and nuanced than that. Let’s remember that the last time they saw each other she had turned down his proposal. The consequences of that actually help dictate their behaviour in the revival. Logan wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, Rory was his great love and still is after all these years… but she turned him down. I think now that they have reconnected Logan is afraid that Rory’s heart is not as invested as his is. I have a feeling that Rory was the one that came up with the Vegas agreement after the implied first time in Hamburg (she is the one that keeps bringing it up and reminding him of their original terms), and because Logan believed his was the only heart he was risking, he went along with it. He was happy to have Rory back in his life in any way she would allow and he didn’t want to lose her again, even if it killed him inside. (That’s also one of the motivating factors of why he took her for one last night out with the boys and why he gave her that key. Even if the affair was over, he was desperate to retain some connection to her, no matter how tenuous. Check out the way he reacts when she tries to give the key back. It physically pains him.) So even though he loves her and is desperate to keep her in his life, it is because he is unsure of what Rory wants that he doesn’t break it off with Odette. It was obvious to me when I first watched it, and then later I saw an interview with Matt Czuchry that confirmed it, that Logan was waiting for Rory to ask him to leave Odette in that scene at the tango club. The way he looked at her when she asked if he was really going to marry Odette seemed to say “You’re the one I want. Tell me not to go through with it.” If Rory had made her feelings clear to Logan, if he knew he had a chance at a future with her, I believe he would have left Odette in a heartbeat. As for Rory, she is kind of in the same boat. When she turned him down it wasn’t because she didn’t love him. It was because the timing was not right. When we see her in the revival it seems like she hasn’t really had any other major romances since we last saw her, her relationship with Paul is literally a joke, so I am inclined to believe that her love for Logan never really died either. He is the one she let get away. So when he’s suddenly back in her life, she’s so desperate to keep spending time with him that she is willing to lie to herself again and insist that they can just have a casual relationship, no strings attached. And in convincing herself that it’s completely casual she also convinces herself that he is not interested in anything more than “Vegas”, so she is hesitant to push for more. Also, maybe she feels like she doesn’t have a right to ask him to leave his fiancé for her. She loves him and she wants him but she broke his heart before. How can she ask him to drop everything for her when she said no almost 10 years prior? To us, as viewers it’s all so clear. I mean come on! It was never just a “what happens in Vegas” thing for either of them. They were breaking the rules from the get go. That’s why she had boxes of her personal belongings sent to his house, and let him check her phone, and used his personal computer for work. It’s why she sought out his opinions and advice about work and why he was always there to encourage her. It’s why she called him any time, day or night, and without fail he answered. It’s why when she is upset her first instinct is to call him and why he wants her to always feel like she can call him if she needs to talk. And that’s what’s so tragic about this story line. They both want the same thing but are afraid to speak up. So, while it is true that they both had the capability of putting an end to their nonsense and just be together officially, I can understand the mental roadblocks that were interfering with their ability to actually do so.

oh, gilmore girls tea! i read somewhere that lauren graham and alexis bledel used to fight all the time and lg was a total bitch to the extras. also that they deliberately hired a gay guy to play one of rorys love interests cause she dated jared padalecki and milo ventimiglia and that caused drama, but i dont know if they meant matt czuchry or teddy dunn who was supposed to be her love interest before veronica mars was renewed or both.
LOVE! I always sensed a bit of resentment between lg and ab in interviews when lauren would be like “alexis was SO green i had to literally like pull her by her arm so she would stay on her mark she knew nothing about making a tv show 🙄”
