In a few months, we will be reunited with our beloved Stars Hollow. All of our favorite characters will be there and we can't wait to accompany Rory and Lorelai as they get their first cup of coffee from Luke's since 2007. As excited as we are to finally be back in the crazy town with all of it's eccentric inhabitants, there are some very important unanswered questions that we hope will be answered in the revival show.
1. Rory's relationship status

It has been reported that Rory will be single in the revival, but we know that Logan, Jess, and Dean will all be making an appearance. In the series finale (which aired May 15, 2007), Rory told Logan that she couldn't marry him, which led him to him saying goodbye to her, despite the fact that she wanted to continue seeing him. Although we know that she will be single, will this last the entirety of the revival, or will she ultimately end up with one of her past boyfriends? Or perhaps a new boy that we have yet to meet?
2. Lorelai's relationship status

A long running theme on the show is Lorelai's relationship status, which has been a long-standing issue with her parents, who both believe that she should be with Christopher. In his words, they "belong together. Everyone knows it. I know it, Emily knows it." At the end of the series, Lorelai is seen kissing Luke, even after their rocky relationship and engagement. Is this a hint at them being together, or was it simply to give the viewers what they wanted? After all, we all knew that Luke and Lorelai were perfect together - despite the fact that he has tried to stop her from drinking coffee.
3. Is Rory going to be working at the New York Times?

We all remember the defining moment when Rory was not chosen for the New York Times Reston Fellowship. When this happened, it sent her into turmoil, especially because she had turned down other jobs because she was counting on this. However, in the series finale, Rory leaves to begin covering the Obama campaign when another reporter drops out at the last moment. When we see Rory in the revival show, will she still be working in political journalism, perhaps as a White House Correspondent, or the next Christiane Amanpour? Or did she finally end up at the New York Times after not getting the Reston Fellowship?
4. How many kids do Sookie and Jackson have?

We all remember when Jackson declared that he wanted "Four in four" (Four kids in 4 years) - much to Sookie's horror. At the end of the series, Sookie was pregnant with her third child. Is this the last child she and Jackson will have? And what will they name the baby? After all, they used all the names they had come up with when they had Martha (full name Martha Janice-Lori-Ethan-Rupert-Glenda-Carson-Daisy-Danny Belleville). What name will they use for their third child? And will she have another crazy long middle name like Martha?
5. How will Emily cope without Richard?

We now have confirmation that many wonderful characters from Stars Hollow will return for the revival, but there is one we know will not be returning. Edward Herrmann, who portrayed Richard Gilmore, passed away in December of 2014. Earlier in the series, Emily planned all of Richard's parties, especially when he launched his own business firm. How will Emily cope with the loss of her beloved husband? Will she be ready to date again, as declared in season 5 episode 9 "Emily Says Hello," or will the revival series allow time for the viewers to mourn the loss of Richard?
