12 Questions I Need Answered In The "Gilmore Girls" Revival
TV Line

I can distinctly remember the first episode of "Gilmore Girls" I ever saw. I was home sick from school and was flipping around on the channels when I landed on ABC Family. I watched as a woman and her daughter sat across from an elderly couple and discussed a recent trip the couple had taken. The couple then handed the woman and her daughter some candy (marzipan, which I'd never tried at the time). The two unwrapped the treats, stuck them in their mouths, then immediately spit them out because apparently they were disgusting. That's when I had to run to the bathroom to go and vomit.

Amazingly enough even after that charming first interaction, I began watching "Gilmore Girls" regularly. I would race home from school, grab a snack, then get the television on by 4 p.m. and watch as Lorelei and Rory's stories unfolded. As I got older, snacks turned to coffee (because of course I had to share in their obsession) and I fell in love with Stars Hollow and all who resided in that sleepy little town.

Of course I could not be more thrilled with the four new episodes being released to Netflix on November 25th. But like most of you, I have quite a few questions and am curious to see how things will turn out for some of our favorite characters.


1. What are Lane's twins like?

When the show ended, the two were too young to really see much of their personalities. Are they musical like their parents? Did Lane turn into the type of mother Mrs. Kim was?

2. Do Lorelei and Emily get along?

Some time has passed, maybe things have settled down. But for our entertainment's sake, I kind of hope not.


3. What job will Kirk have?

He's done everything from installing security to selling t-shirts, buttons, and beauty supplies to working at Taylor's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Shoppe. What will he do next?

4. Who will Rory be dating?

Will it be Dean?

Or Jess?

Or Logan?

Or maybe it'll be a guy she hasn't dated before (Marty?) or maybe she won't be with anyone!

5. How will they explain Richard's death?

Sadly, actor Edward Herrmann passed away at the end of 2014. How are the directors going to play Richard's death? Will they pretend he's on some business trip for the episodes, or will Richard Gilmore also have passed away?

6. How are Lorelei and Luke?

They belong together. They better be happy, gosh darn it.

7. Will Hep Alien make a comeback?

Hopefully, Gil can get a babysitter for a night.

8. Is Paul Anka still alive?

All I'm saying is, he better be.

9. What is Paris doing?

By far one of the funniest characters on the show. Are she and Doyle still together? Did she ever become a doctor despite her fear of sick people?

10. Is Rory a successful journalist?

She wasn't Editor of the Yale Daily News for nothing.

11. Are Friday night dinners still required?

Richard and Emily did pay for Rory's schooling. They had an agreement.

12. Will Lorelei and Rory still be each other's best friends?

Why am I even asking this? Of course, they will be.


I know Nov. 25 will be here before we know it, but I just can't wait for this revival. As Lorelei so correctly puts it, "Gilmore Girls" is not just a TV show, "it's a lifestyle." So let's fill our coffee mugs and watch our favorite girls talk insanely fast while using lots of references we still don't understand.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
