Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham in Gilmore Girls (2000)

FAQ

Gilmore Girls

FAQ



    Some episodes that they aren't physically in, they still get credited as credit only.



    The filming locations can be visited at the Warner Bros studios. More information can be found on the website of wbstudiotour.



    Yes. However, this was quickly reversed later on, as she provided a bit of comedic relief while creating parallels between Lorelei's relationship with her mother (Emily) and Emily's relationship with her step-mother, whom she referred to as "Mom." This phrasing is generally is colloquial for mother-in-laws, however, the fear of her mother-in-law is similar to that of fear of Emily. Lorelai actually aids her in dealing with her frustrations with Trix in one episode, which is one of the few bonding moments between the two.



    Rory's full name is Lorelai Leigh Gilmore. We see this on the birthday party invitation in the episode "Rory's Birthday Parties" and on her graduation day.



    Lorelai's middle name is Victoria.



    Rory Gilmore was born October 8, 1984 in Hartford, Connecticut, at 4:03am.



    Tristan (Chad Michael Murray) left in the Season 2 episode "Run Away, Little Boy" because his father was sending him to military school after he broke into a friend's father's safe. Chad Michael Murray actually left the show to appear on Dawson's Creek. He then left said show to be a regular on One Tree Hill.

    Tristan and Rory never dated. He had an obvious interest in her, but she did not reciprocate his feelings. The most that ever happened between them was a kiss at a party in "The Breakup, Part 2" when both of them were emotional, Rory over her break-up with Dean, and Tristan over his break-up with his girlfriend, Summer. Rory advised Tristan to date Paris, because she was deeply in love with him, but that didn't work out - they went on just one date. After that, he asked Rory on a date again, but realized he didn't have a chance after he saw her and Dean kissing in front of the school (Season 1).



    Jess first appears in the season 2 episode "Nick & Nora/Sid & Nancy."



    Yes. Sherilyn Fenn played both Anna Nardini and Sasha, the live-in-girlfriend of Jess's father. She was originally supposed to star in the Jess spin-off as Sasha but when that didn't work out Amy Sherman-Palladino brought her back as Anna Nardini.

    There are several other actors/actresses who are used for multiple small roles, for instance Alex Borstein (who plays both the harp player Drella in season one, and the Gilmores' quirky fashion consultant Celine). And, Rose Abdoo who plays Gypsy also plays Emily and Richards maid,Berta.



    Logan first calls Rory by the nickname "Ace" during Season 5 in episode 6 "Norman Mailer, I'm Pregnant". It's short for "Ace Reporter."



    No. However, it is based on an actual village in Washington Depot, Connecticut.



    Gilmore Girls is filmed on the Warner Bros lot in Burbank, California, except for the pilot and parts of some of Season 1's episode, which were shot in Canada (Unionville).



    The girl herself is not of much importance. The photo is of the class Lorelai would be in if she was in the girl's position. Lorelai looks at her and sees what she could have had if she didn't have Rory, and if she had continued her schooling and gone to college. Lorelai never actually wanted to go to Harvard like Rory did, she just didn't get the chance to. In the episode "Let the Games Begin" when the four Gilmores take a road trip to Yale, Richard tells Rory that when Lorelai was ten she wanted to go to Yale like him.



    Yes. They were both played by Marion Ross.



    His name was Mick, and he was supposed to install DSL in Lorelai's house. Sean Gunn also played a man delivering swans to the inn in "Kill Me Now." After that point he was always Kirk.



    Paul Anka is a Polish Lowland Sheepdog.



    Edward Herrmann is a pretty big name actor, and reportedly Amy Sherman-Palladino worked very hard to get him in the show. The 'Special Appearance' is just a small shout-out to him and his career.



    Yes, the 7th season was the series finale. There were disagreements between the cast members and the network, some of which were never fully explained.

    No, it is not Alexis's fault. Lauren Graham had stated in an interview that she and Alexis had very long work weeks, 6 or even 7 days at a time, and both of them emotionally exhausted. Lauren also said that although the rumored 13 episode 8th season was tempting, she felt that the fans and the show itself would be cheated.

    In 2016 a revival was made for Netflix - not an actual season, but four 90 minutes episodes.



    The show has returned for four movie-length Netflix original episodes in 2016.
