Can't I just move to Stars Hollow?

'Gilmore Girls' Revival: What We Know And Our Questions

Everyone's favorite TV show from the 2000's is making it's come-back! Netflix is bringing Stars Hollow back to our living rooms (or bedrooms), and we couldn't be more ecstatic.

" Gilmore Girls" was a show created by Amy-Sherman Palladino on The WB in 2000, and moved to The CW in 2006. The show was canceled in 2007 after the seventh season, and fans never really got to have the ending that they wanted.

Now, we get to see Stars Hollow nine years later and (hopefully) get to see everything come together. Here's everything that we know so far about the revival.

The episodes

As of now, there will be four 90-minute episodes. We aren't sure yet if they will all be released at once, but if Amy-Sherman Palladino gets her way then they will not be. The episodes will each be set in a different season, "Winter," "Spring," "Summer" and "Fall." This hasn't been confirmed by Netflix, but was said by Amy-Sherman Palladino, so we can be pretty certain that it's true. It has also been rumored that the revival will be titled "Gilmore Girls: Seasons."

The original writers and producers of the show, Amy-Sherman Palladino and Daniel Palladino, are back writing and directing this series.

Who will be in it?

Almost all of the original cast has been confirmed to return to the revival, so we can be sure that it's going to be pretty great. All three of the Gilmore women are returning–Lorelai, Rory and Emily–so the name "Gilmore Girls" still holds true.

Also, both Lorelai and Rory's men are confirmed to be back. While we're not completely sure how many episodes they will be in, Luke, Christopher, Dean, Jess and Logan have all been confirmed to return.

Will Lorelai end up with Christopher or Luke? (I think it's safe to say that we will all be extremely mad if Lorelai and Luke end up with anyone other than each other, and I don't really think ASP would do that to us). And will Rory end up with one of her former beaus, someone completely different or stay single? Whether you're #TeamDean, #TeamJess or #TeamLogan, I think we can all agree that Rory deserves happiness and however ASP decides to write her story will be the best way.

The one thing that we will all be sad about is the fact that Richard (the late Ed Herrmann) will not be a part of it. It's going to be extremely sad seeing the Gilmore Girls getting by without him, and seeing how Emily, Lorelai and Rory have all coped with it. I'm sure that he will still have a presence in the show, though.

Unfortunately, Sookie (Melissa McCarthy) is not returning to the show as of now. ASP has said that she would love to have her a part of the show and that she asked McCarthy's "people," but they never got back to her. McCarthy said that she was never asked to be a part of the revival. Regardless of whatever may have happened, let's hope that something can be worked out, because Gilmore Girls definitely won't be the same without Sookie!

Liz, Luke's sister, also isn't returning as of right now.

Here's a list of the full cast that has been confirmed:

Lorelai (Lauren Graham), Rory (Alexis Bledel), Luke (Scott Patterson), Emily (Kelly Bishop), Logan (Matt Czuchry), Jess (Milo Ventimiglia), Dean (Jared Padalecki), Lane (Keiko Agena), Kirk (Sean Gunn), Paris (Liza Weil), Doyle (Danny Strong), Christopher (David Sutcliffe), Michel (Yanic Truesdale), Zach (Todd Lowe), Taylor (Michael Winters), Mrs. Kim (Emily Kuroda), Gypsy (Rose Abdoo), Miss Patty (Liz Torres), Babette (Sally Struthers), Andrew (Mike Gandolfi), April (Vanessa Marano), Finn (Tanc Sade) and a TBA character (Sutton Foster).

How will the stories play out?

This is one thing that we don't know anything about yet, but I think we all have ideas in our heads.

Is Lorelai married yet? Does she have any more kids? Do her and Sookie still own the Dragonfly Inn? (This may be hard without Sookie, but maybe she runs it herself or they will just mention her without actually showing her.) Has Lorelai been with anyone else other than Luke? Is she married to Luke or will they get married on the show? (I hope so, because even though I hope it didn't take nine years for them to get married, I want to see the wedding.)

Is Rory with anyone? How was working on Obama's campaign for her? Is she a big-time journalist now? Did she ever reconnect with Dean, Jess or Logan? Does she have any kids, making Lorelai a grandmother and Emily a great-grandmother?

Did Luke finally commit and marry Lorelai? How is his relationship with April? Are he and Jess still close? Does he still own Luke's Diner? Did he and Lorelai finally move in together for good?

Does Kirk have a full-time job yet or a family? Does he still live in his mother's house? Is Taylor still Town Selectman? Does Miss Patty still have her dance studio, or will Sutton Foster reprise her "Bunheads" character and take it over? Is Babette still as crazy and fun as ever?

We have all these questions and so many more. We can not wait for the revival to come on Netflix and see how everything plays out!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
