Throughout middle school, I loved "Gilmore Girls" and lived for new episodes. When I knew that it was being canceled, I was devastated. That was in 2007. Now, nine years later, "Gilmore Girls" is getting a chance to come back in four, 90-minute episodes to premiere on Netflix. Lauren Graham (Lorelai Gilmore) tweeted on Jan. 29 confirming the rumors. Now what is "Gilmore Girls"? Allow me to explain...
1. Rory Gilmore
Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) loves books, coffee and making sure her mother is proud of her. Her best friends consist of Lane Kim and, later into the series, Paris Geller. However, Lorelai Gilmore is her best friend of all time. The series opens when she's almost 16.
2. Lorelai Gilmore
Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) also lives for coffee and is a fast talker who likes to butt heads with Taylor Doose, a town selectman, and her mother, Emily. She's dealing with the struggles of having Rory when she was 16 years old.
3. Luke Danes
Snarky owner of Luke's Diner, Luke Danes (Scott Patterson) has more facets than anyone expected in episode one such as his aversion to cell phones, television and his love of... well, you'll get to that.
4. Lane Kim
Lane Kim (Keiko Agena) is one of the best friends to Rory. She was brought up in a religious house, where the threat of eternal damnation and Hell were ever present but rock and roll (and sex) were tempting, too. This creates for some interesting scenes in which Lane's character is present for only a few moments before she runs away, to go home for dinner. But wait, wasn't she just eating a slice of pizza?
5. Paris Geller
Paris Geller (Liza Weil) and Rory are rivals during their time at Chilton Preparatory school. Paris is known for her cut-throat attitude and her sudden outbursts during times that are less than appropriate.
6. Emily Gilmore
Emily Gilmore's (Kelly Bishop) main goal in life is to see her daughter, who had a child at sixteen, happy. However, her way of going about this is not exactly the most straightforward and well thought out. She frequently says and does things that maybe you shouldn't say.
7. Richard Gilmore
Richard Gilmore is a little wiser with his choice of words than his wife, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have flaws, too. Quieter at times, with his nose stuck in a newspaper, Richard usually lets Emily take control when it comes to "corralling" Lorelai. (Edward Herrmann passed away in late 2014.)
8. Sookie St. James
Sookie St. James (Melissa McCarthy) is known for her laughable antics. She makes mistakes in the kitchen at the Independence Inn, sometimes lighting things on fire that shouldn't be, sometimes cutting her hand open. She frequently gets emotional over what she should be cooking and whether or not someone will like what she's prepared.
9. Michel Gerard
Michel Gerard (Yanic Truesdale) is all of us, at times. He is snarky about life, hates everyone to a degree and he is a perfectionist when it came to things that affected him. Michel's French accent creates miscommunication and frustrates him to no end.
