Seven Questions That Need To Be Answered After The Gilmore Girls Revival

Here's to hoping that the writers and Netflix realize they can't just leave fans with that cliffhanger.

Seven Questions That Need To Be Answered After The Gilmore Girls Revival

With the new season of Gilmore Girls coming just over a week ago, we've all had time to reflect on it. There were laughs, tears, returns of great characters, but most importantly there was a massive cliffhanger at the end. Though many people believe that this new season was most certainly going to be it for the show, now with it ending in such a way I think a lot of people have unanswered questions that they want resolved. And though we finally got to see Amy Sherman-Palladino's 'Final Four Words,' there has already been a lot of fan outrage over ending it like that and there is a chance that there will be a lot of support for additional episodes. With that in mind, here are a few important things that would need to be addressed if Netflix made anymore episodes.


1. Who is the father of Rory's baby?

Unless the revival didn't show everything going on in Rory's life, the two main options are Logan or the Wookie she has a one night stand with. Since the encounter with a Wookie happened in the Spring, and it's unlikely that Rory is 6 months pregnant at the end of the series, the most likely father would be Logan. The only possible (unlikely) options left would be that there was some sort of secret encounter between Jess and Rory, or Rory has become a mother though Paris's surrogacy clinic, either to have a baby for her mother, Michel, or herself (perhaps she realized her biological clock was ticking). But the Logan one seems most likely, as this would tie in perfectly to the show being a full circle, with Rory being Lorelai and Logan acting as Christopher.

2. Will Rory tell the father or raise the child on her own, like Lorelai?

Lorelai's main reason for raising Rory on her own was a desire to get away from her family and start a new life on her own terms. Rory isn't exactly in the same situation, but at the same time the most likely father is engaged to someone else so there is a lot of reason for her to not want to tell Logan. She also has more of the means to raise a baby independently versus Lorelai as well. Her talk with Christopher in the Fall episode will most likely have a big impact on her decision, as she questioned him a lot on his motivation to not really try to be a major part of Rory's life when she was growing up. It makes sense to get her father's opinion because the comparisons are obvious and I think she needs to know whether or not Logan will either fight for his kid or even want to be involved at all.

3. If the baby is Logan's and he finds out about it will he want to be a part of its life, or even want to marry Rory and be a father?

The comparisons are obvious between Christopher and Logan, but one massive difference is the ages of when they have their kids. With Chris being 16 and Logan being 32 they obviously have different levels of independence, with Logan having his life much more together. For that reason I highly doubt that Logan will not want to have a part in his child's life if Rory decides to tell him. The question is how much involvement will Logan want. It's obvious that Logan still has feelings for Rory, so perhaps this means that he will break off his engagement and want to be with her. But he is also a part of the Huntzberger legacy now, so it is possible he won't want to go against his family's wishes and won't be able to be with Rory in the way that they might want. It is even possible that his family will interfere and desire to keep the two apart, as they tried in past seasons.

4. Will Rory stay in Stars Hollow to raise the baby or move away?

Rory always dreamed of moving away from her small town and having the opportunity to travel, which she did get on a certain level in the ten years after leaving school. I think she will want the support that comes with living in Stars Hollow and be surrounded by all of the people that care about her. Perhaps if the success of her book allows her to travel or requires her to move, then she will get back to it then

5. Would Jess be like Luke and step up to help raise the baby, or will he run away like he's done in the past?

The old Jess was known for cutting and running without explanation, but as we saw over the original series that Jess really evolved and matured. Often it was his fondness for Rory that made him want to be a better man and grow up, and with that longing look shown at the end it is clear that Jess has still been pining after her these ten past years. And if this show is going to come full circle, then Jess will mimic Luke's longing and desire to act as a father figure for the woman he loves.

6. Will Rory's book be a success?

Since it's based on their lives and a show that is already highly successful, it is pretty clear that it will do well and it was a great idea on Jess's part to suggest. Jess has always been known to give Rory's life some direction and this idea was what she needed.

7. After Rory's book becomes a success, will Doyle write the screenplay for the inevitable movie to follow?

Though this was probably not a part of the original plan when makin Doyle into a screenwriter this could potentially bring a lot of humor to the story and mean a lot of inclusion for Paris and Doyle in a new season.


I loved to see all of the new characters come back, but I hope that if they do bring the show back for another season I do hope it just focuses on a main storyline and loses the frills and music numbers (even though those were very fun and cool to watch) of the revival. Either way, I know there are a lot of upset and confused fans clamoring for more so I just hope that the show creators listen and continue the show. Since I've already rewatched the show and revival many times, I know you can never get too much Gilmore Girls so I will be patiently waiting for more episodes.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
