Gilmore Girls Characters, Ranked
If you expect Rory or Lorelai to be hated-on, you are sorely mistaken boo. Let's get into it.
A Quick Note Up Top— there are several GG characters who don’t appear in this listicle at all, this is because they are Sweet Perfect BB Angels™ who did no wrong, and they will be discussed in a separate post, so stay tuned!
Let’s get into it.
If you are a person who has passionately stated something to the tune of, Rory Gilmore is a bad person, full stop—we will never be close friends, and that is okay! We can’t all be close friends. We can’t all be friends, period. I simply don’t have the space in my apartment to host you all. But, girl…there are bigger (shittier) fish to fry (hate on). And Richard Gilmore is one of them. An entire Substack post will be dedicated to this.
Rory Gilmore is, first and foremost, a literal child, for the majority of our time ‘spent together’ (read: us rotting on our couches until Netflix asks “Are you still there?” Yes, Netflix, stop bullying us!!). And I’m not talking about the Year in the Life reboot that takes place a decade later, when Rory is in her early thirties and Lorelai is in her late forties. I’m talking OG Gilmore Girls Rory, who is sixteen when we meet her, and twenty-two when we part ways in the series finale.
Is she annoying? Yes, children tend to be that. Does she do shitty things and lean way too hard into the elite life her grandparents continuously dangle over her head as they leapfrog over Lorelai, coaxing Rory with 1,000 thread count sheets? Yes, she takes the bait for a while, and gets much too enthused about organizing D.A.R. parties. It’s objectively cringe.
But Rory is also a teenager for the majority of Gilmore Girls, and when we part ways, she is a twenty-one year old…I was personally a Tasmanian devil when I was between the ages of nineteen and twenty-one. Not like the actual animal, a cute-but-vicious carnivorous marsupial, but like, the Looney Tunes cartoon Tasmanian Devil, who was slightly stupid, had a short temper and very little patience, except I was also fueling myself with Four Lokos, and honestly? I’m still pretty short-tempered and impatient, but I have come leaps and bounds. I drink organic wine with some meals now! Yay, me!
Anyway, Rory. She was not shotgunning Four Lokos, and she was busy juggling multiple AP classes at all times while she was in high school, along with extra-curricular activities, and then loaded her plate up with five college courses, at Yale no less.
If you have written mini-dissertations on how shit of a person this literal fucking child is, you may want to keep working on your internalized misogyny, hun. Yes, she is eventually a young adult in the series. Yes, we should all be held accountable for our actions. But my God. The hate for her (and Lorelai–I’ll get to that) feels overwhelming and frankly, misplaced.
I don’t understand why seemingly, these two female characters get all the flack (and so does Emily, more than her P.O.S. husband), when, I’m sorry, Taylor Doose and Richard Gilmore exist in the same universe!?! And Dean! And MITCHUM HUNTZBURGER! THAT GUY.
People will bend over backward to make the women villains and pick them apart, flaw by flaw, and then say shit like “Dean wasn’t that bad,” “Taylor Doose is charming,” “Mitchum was right about–”
This is a quote from someone on Reddit (probably a white man, and if not, lolz embarrassing), about Mitchum:
“Logan's family was awful, but his dad was right that time he said that [Rory] didn't have the right stuff to make it as a hard hitting journalist.”
What a hack. She was the editor of the Yale Daily News, and was invited to join the campaign trail of Barack Obama, but yep—she didn’t have what it took! Astute observation, champ. Have fun with your neck beard.
Without further ado,
from Most Shitty to Least Shitty:
Richard Gilmore — You read that right. He sucks the absolute most. Richard Gilmore is a garbage person in a custom suit with 24k gold cuff links. I will be dedicating an entirely separate post to him, so please do follow or subscribe, & check back soon.
Mitchum Huntzburger — More like Bitchum Fuckburger, AmIRite? He’s the walking personification of all we hate about rich WASPY America. A man who thinks generational poverty is a myth, probably. Like, his trust fund that kicked in when he was 18 had $30 million in it but he definitely uses the phrase “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!”
Taylor Doose — This man is a full-blown fascist. Y’all see this, right?? If I have any major bone to pick with Amy Sherman-Palladino, it is this: there is entirely too much Taylor Doose content in the series. Like WAY too much. Fuck this guy and the cardigan he rode in on. He is the embodiment of ‘The Man’, as in “Stick it to the-”, he is the epitome of a predatory landlord, he is obsessed with war reenactments which is objectively a red flag, and he gives off the strongest NIMBY vibe, ever. He is misogynist. He is racist. AND HE’S NOT EVEN FUNNY LIKE EMILY. He is all those things plus boring! Exsqueeze me?! In a nutshell, he’s insufferable.
I feel like this gif does a pretty good job summing up his entire vibe. Straub & Francine Hayden — These pretentious hobgoblins were only in a couple episodes, but my god do they make an impression. And though they may not get a lot of screentime, they were always there, lurking behind the scenes, ruining lives, and paying people off with hush money, I assume. So I guess they’re like the Harvey Weinstein of Gilmore Girls with less sexual assault and more cocktail parties? They shit all over people who ‘aren’t like them,’ much like Trix, the Huntzburgers, and Richard and Emily. They fully blamed Lorelai for ‘ruining Christopher’s life,’ acting like his splooge didn’t make up half of the zygote that became Rory. Speaking of Rory—they refused to accept her, essentially pretending that she was not their grandchild and showing her no affection, curiosity or financial support.
“Trix” aka “Gran” aka “Mom” — This bitch dresses like a Victorian ghost who’s been dead for 300 years. Though Emily is 10th on this list and has plenty of faults of her own, it pains me that she calls this dinosaur “Mom.” It speaks to Emily’s subservience (due to her upbringing I’m sure), and to Gran’s insistence of feeling superior over other people, even her husband’s wife—especially her husband’s wife. That Richard calls his mother the cutesy pet name ‘Trix’ is obnoxious, to say the least; the two of them are the embodiment of the Replacement Mother and Mama’s Boy tropes. These tropes are typically just that—empty stereotypes, but hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day, and some stereotypes come from real people. Gran is such a joyless bully. I bet the most alive she ever feels is when she is grossly belittling Emily and barking orders at her maids and landscapers. Even her making out with that dude in the velour jogging suit won’t give her enough cool points to bump her down this list.
my little Millennial heart is so happy to see these making a comeback Dean Forester — Dean and Rory’s ‘meet cute’? He stalked her at school. I love that this behavior was normalized up until like, yesterday? Fast forward to their relationship: Dean threw a temper tantrum when he told Rory “I love you” and she didn’t promptly say it back, then proceeded to immediately break up with her. TEXTBOOK FUCKBOI BEHAVIOR. He threw another tantrum when Rory told him she’s going to go to Harvard (which she doesn’t end up attending, but that’s beside the point).
When Rory & Lorelai introduced Dean to The Donna Reed Show he was basically like BRING THAT SHIT BACK, YO, and encouraged Rory to cosplay as a housewife and cook him dinner in a hoop skirt and pumps. Like, the nuance of Donna Reed being funny and outspoken (which, in the 1950’s was quite a feat) went completely over his unnecessarily-coiffed head and he was like Oh word, she makes meatloaf for her family in heels while also cracking jokes? Tight. You should do that, Rory. Dean constantly tried to convince Rory that spending time with him was more important than studying, which was like, her goddamn Ikigai, as she had her hopes set on attending an Ivy League school, but sure Dean, making out with you and talking about Star Wars is definitely just as important… Dean was whiny and smothering, two traits that literally never get overlooked if a girl is being like that toward a boy—guys get called ‘doting’ and ‘considerate’, women get called ‘clingy’ and ‘psycho.’
La pièce de résistance of Dean’s Worst Behavior? He cheats on his wife Lindsay [with Rory] and gaslights the ever-loving shite out of her while doing so. Fuck Dean.
Jason Stiles aka ‘Digger’ — The word that comes to mind when I think of Jason Stiles is slimy. Remember that time he tailgated the shit out of Luke’s pick up truck in his vroom vroom sports car and kept honking, and remember when he INSISTED on calling Luke ‘Duke’? Bitch, you know his name is Luke and that your boo wanna suck his dick. You mad.
Digger (what a stupid nickname) love bombed Lorelai and then had the nerve to bring a hot young female date to a function, blindsiding Lorelai with this information, (she found out from her mother, of all people, who was like “Digger brought a young thing to the event; she wasn’t wearing underwear!”) Yikes. When Lorelai brings this up to him he’s all ‘wHaT aRe yoU so bOthErEd bY, You said you wanted to keep our relationship discreet. Sure dude, that’s what Lorelai meant by that. It was a very immature ‘I’m trying to make my girlfriend jealous’ tactic. Anyone can see that the flag Jason is holding is red.
Digger is the man who will throw money at people to make them like him, throw money to make mistakes disappear, and I foresee a future in which he throws money at lawyers to make people be disappeared. He acts like he’s morally above his father and the world of Richard and the Huntzburgers, but he’s not. Jason is absolutely the type of guy who would call in every favor he has to get on a waiting list to buy a Cyber Truck.
his ‘business call’ energy made my kitty cat DRY, bbgirl Asher Fleming — [You’ve gotta understand how hard it is to rank these piece of shit characters! At times I feel like Dean should be higher, at times I feel that Asher should be higher, at times I feel Logan should be, and sometimes I feel Emily should be ranked higher—please show me some grace. With this said,]
Asher was a pretentious little creep who dated multiple (very young female) students while he was a (straight white male) tenured professor at an Ivy League university. Mind you, his granddaughter was the same age as these young women he dated…Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Paris was only 18 or 19 when Asher starting
datinggrooming her. Like, her brain was still forming, she was a minor not 1-2 years before, and this guy qualified for fucking social security.Shira Huntzburger — This wax figure of a human being was such a ruthless asstwat toward Rory. She really was like, ‘There’s Gilmore money *spits on the floor in front of her*, and then there’s Huntzburger money.’ Think, Jeffrey Bezos calling Beyonce and Jay Z poor and being like ‘you two are not good enough to date my daughter’, which yes is not the best analogy, but while we’re on the topic, please don’t let Jay Z date anyone’s daughters, cause I’m pretty sure that man is in the Diddy papers.
Emily Gilmore — While I can admit she is sometimes downright hilarious, and I low-key (high-key) love drunk Emily, who chain smokes cigarettes on her sofa— this does not detract from the fact that she is, in fact, a shitty, shitty person. Mother-daughter relationships are complicated, and I think in some ways she was a good mom—and I know she loves Lorelai in her own way. However, even that statement is a cop-out. Saying someone loves someone ‘in their own way’ is a way of excusing problematic behavior. Lorelai needed to be loved in a different way, and she was never given that love by either of her parents. Shit sucks. I could write paragraphs on why Emily was shitty, but I’ll say the highlight was when she actively tried to sabotage Lorelai and Luke’s relationship, and how grossly elitist she was toward Luke and his ‘blue collar job.’
probably trying to get the attention of the Russian ballerina she bought or the 48th housekeeper she hired that year because she fired the first 47 Marty — Oh, man. The overwhelming urge to put him higher on the list because I personally hate guys like him so much, and they populate the earth in higher numbers than the Mitchums, the Richards and the Taylors, being all like I’m so sweet and innocent, look at my smooth skin and my lush head of hair, I just have a lil crush on you, I’m not the ‘bad guy’. Oh, Marty, Marty, Marty…but you are a bad guy.
First things first, taking all of your clothes off and passing out naked on the floor of the women’s dorm rooms is off-putting, it is sexual harassment, and is technically illegal, bro. Sick first impression. Really sets the scene. Lying to your girlfriend, Lucy, that you had never met Rory and then putting Rory into the immediate and very awkward position of “what the fuck is happening,” effectively forcing her to panic and go along with your ruse—is a real dickbag move. GOD, I hate Marty. (Yes, he reminds me of one of my ex’s, okay??)
Only reason he is below Emily and others is because he is a Poor, like meee, and because he, like Rory, Dean, Tristan, and others, is young, and I pray people like him learn and change as they grow older. He still has time to unlearn problematic behaviors (yes, we’re still talking about my ex here), SO LET’S FUCKIN HOPE, FOR EVERYONE’S SAKE, THAT HE DOES.
Colin McCrae & Finn — Colin is not atrocious, considering the fact that he is an entitled, wealthy, straight (as far as we know) white male member of The Life and Death Brigade. You know. Normal shit. But Finn? Finn can suck a dirty pooper. He is so misogynist and entitled, it bothers me in my bones. Finn’s signature catchphrase is "Have we met before?" which is literally a tactic used to establish power in a relationship by making people feel small and unforgettable. He is absolutely the type of dude who would participate in sex trafficking.
Jess’s dad — Just like he doesn’t deserve a name on this list, he doesn’t deserve a write-up. A deadbeat is a deadbeat. He skipped out on raising his child, and Liz and Jess struggled for a quite a while because of it (and found happiness in spite of this!)
Logan Huntzburger — Some of y’all give Logan a little too much grace. I’m even shocked at myself that I didn’t place him higher on the list (though there are some real turds ranked 1-12, so the competish is fierce). In a few words, Logan is insufferable when we meet him (very arrogant, sheltered, spoiled, elitist, etc) but shockingly, he seems to learn and grow as the months go by. Not enough to get him lower on this list, but enough that I don’t hate him with a fiery passion. After all, he still insisted on calling Rory "Ace", and I can’t deal when people self-impose a nickname onto someone else and run with it, even when the recipient is clearly bothered by it. He also gambled his company’s money and lost it all, and then stuck is head in the sand and ran off parachuting to blow off steam, nearly getting himself killed and making Rory sick with worry in the process. He gets the teeny-tiniest pass when we look at how awful his parents are. With elitist scumbag parents like the Huntzburgers, it’s a wonder the apple fell as far from the tree as it did.
“Hop in losers, we’re going hazing!” Tristan DuGray — This little asshole called Rory "Mary", as in Virgin Mary, so many times. Why Paris had a crush on him and Rory was nice to him beats me. Actually, I know why. It’s because girls are conditioned to have crushes on boys who are mean to them and are expected to keep being nice to abusive and controlling men. Yay, society!! Tristan also kissed Rory when she and Dean had just broken up, knowing full well she was much more inexperienced than he, and effectively confusing her when she was already in a really vulnerable, emotional state.
Sherry Tinsdale — I don’t respect any adult who dips out on their child. She and Christopher had a baby (Gigi) and then Sherry was like “Ick, yeah, about this whole being a parent thing, turns out…don’t love it…I think I’ll go to Paris instead. Yeah. That’ll work. K byeeeeeeee!” What a loser.
Christopher Hayden — Let’s get the obvious out of the way—the dude peaced out when Rory was a wee tyke and gets to pop into the Gilmore Girls’ lives whenever he feels like it, and he gets to be the cool, hot dad. I also hated the way he fell into Emily’s trap when she was attempting to break up Luke and Lorelai. We do see a lot of growth over the seasons, of him becoming a better father and human being, and that counts for something.
Jackson Belleville — Jackson, Jackson, Jackson. I have half a mind to put him higher on this list. We wanted to love you, Jackson. We love many things about you, Jackson. However... you pretended to get a vasectomy, lying to your wife about it, and then proceeded to have unprotected sex with her, and she got pregnant again, something she explicitly said she did not want to happen. WOWZA. Then everyone was just like, “Welp, your body, my choice! Moving on!” Get the fuck out of here. I also need to include this quote, when he was running for Stars Hollow Mayor, “Does anyone here understand that a man has a right not to have his personal life debated in a public forum? I am not Winona Ryder.” Oh. So it’s fine when people discuss a woman’s personal life in public but because you are a man you deserve the respect? Humph. Okay, Jackson. Have fun deep-frying everything with your weird ass cousins.
hey, i love my garden, but this man is…really, really, really into his garden. maybe he uses pesticides and they went to his head and that’s why he made that shitty vasectomy choice?! like the way j.k. rowling’s black mold caused her transphobia (kidding, we all know her transphobia caused the black mold, HA!) Speaking of La famille Belleville...
Jackson’s weird cousin Rune, and Jackson’s weird older brother Beau Belleville (played by legend Nick Offerman) — LOL at Rune calling Lorelai a giant Amazonian woman because he was like 5’ 5” and she’s sort of tall for a woman. He sucked. Major incel vibes. Then there’s Beau, who aggressively hit on Lorelai because Rune told her she was ‘easy.’ There really was some deep-seated misogyny up in the Belleville clan. It makes me wonder what their fathers were like.
Anna Nardini (April’s mom) — Yes, it is ultimately a woman’s choice to decide to bring a child to term, or not, but I feel some type of way when women actively choose to not let the biological father know they have become pregnant with their sperm (unless of course the reasoning is their immediate safety). And I dislike this for a different reason than you may think. You may be yelling out-loud to your phone or laptop, “But Anna didn’t know [who the father was], hence April undertaking the DNA test as her science project!” No. She knew, which makes it even more fucked up that she let her daughter run around plucking hair samples from strange men...When Luke first approaches Anna like “Uh, hey, I have a fucking child?” her response is, “I didn’t tell you because I knew how you felt about kids.”
I understand the urge to say “Fuck that, my body, my choice, I don’t owe him shit!”—I really do, and I feel for people in this scenario. However, it is ultimately a selfish thing to do—it is selfish to do to the child. The child grows up, as April did in this case, having no clue who their father is, and having to put the pieces together themselves, and research has shown that absent fathers during adolescence leads to greater rates of depression in adulthood. Another reason she’s #19 on this list (which is quite possibly v generous of me) is because she fights Luke tooth and claw for full custody of April, wanting to move the two of them to another state thousands of miles away. Overall, Anna was a stellar mom to April, and I dig her confidence, humor, and intelligence, but we can’t led these things slide.
The Bridesmaids — These assholes are only in an episode or two, I don’t remember their names nor do I care to look them up, but yikes—during glam prep for a wedding, when Rory was right next to them all in the same room, they all blabbed and blabbed about fucking Logan (Rory’s boyfriend) at one time or another. Peak Mean Girl™ behavior.
Francine — Francine is cut from a slightly different cloth than Madeline & Louise (discussed below). Francine will make sure you know she reads shit like Tolstoy and Proust. Francine is a bully who will likely grow up to be a Quaalude-popping ‘trophy wife’ (her future husband’s words, not mine!), bitter because she could have been a cutthroat litigator but wound up trapped in a loveless marriage instead. I feel for her, I do, (both her Chilton self and this future-self I’ve fabricated in my imagination,) but she’s still a bully and a snob.
Hanlin Charleston aka ‘il Duce’ — Just like with Straub Hayden and Mitchum Huntzburger, you are likely going to be an elitist douche if you are given a name like Hanlin Charleston. He’s the kind of southern rich guy who pretends to have a weird British accent, but make no mistake, he does not hail from across the pond. You can practically see his grandfather counting the money he made off of enslaved people’s labor on his cotton plantation. Bear in mind, he is a rich white southerner, so you won’t catch him flying a Confederate flag or anything the Poors™ do, but he would absolutely be the type to forbid dreadlocks or cornrows per the Chilton dress code and say ‘they’re distracting students from learning.’
Paris Geller — Paris grew on me, she did, and I’m glad she had Terrence (her life coach!) by her side to help her do beading crafts instead of yell at babies, but Jesus Christ, Paris Geller is a lot. She went full-tyrant as editor of the Yale Daily News, and that stunt she pulled working all nighters in her make-shift bunker with her hotplate of soup, while sporadically popping out to yell at people, was psychotic.
i had a real love/hate relaysh with this character Nicole Leahy — While it was questionable that Luke even ended up with a woman so different from him, and was painful to watch them figuratively fit her square peg in his round hole (get your minds out of the gutter, people), the fact is Nicole and Luke did in fact date, and however misguided it was, Luke gave it a shot. So when Nicole up and went and cheated on my man Luke, I was done with her. Y’all can argue ‘til you’re blue in the face that Nicole and Luke were ‘separated’ at that point, but they hadn’t actually had that conversation yet, and Nicole not only slept with someone else, but she made sure to leave his socks in Luke’s drawers so he’d find them.
“I’m not wearing my socks” - Luke Danes.
Rory Gilmore — Okay. Rory may actually need an entire post of her own, as well. There is just so much there there, yaknow? I’m going to just quickly name the shittier things about Rory (that deserve mentioning, not dumb misogynist shit like ‘she had horrible taste in men’—who doesn’t sometimes, Karen? Chill!! So, there was: the time Rory fat-shamed that ballerina—that was objectively very shitty. There was also the time she slept with Dean even though he was married. That, too, is objectively not cool. There was also the aforementioned DAR shit with her grandmother.
Lorelai Gilmore — Y’all always flap your gums about how Lorelai was a chaotic parent, or immature, or blurred the lines between friend and daughter with her own child. No shit. She was, herself, a child when she gave birth. Let’s not act like it’s not cosmically unfair that only women (and trans men) are burdened with becoming pregnant and giving birth, and (cis) men are not. So she sustained herself with Twinkies, pizza and coffee and passed on this insane trait to Rory? Worse has happened. I think the gnarliest thing she did was stand-up Max Medina the day before their wedding. Objectively, that is a really cruel and cowardly thing to do. It also wasn’t great when she waited like one day after breaking up with Luke to rebound-bang Christopher, but hey—that’s not cheating, it’s just morally questionable behavior, and I’ve exhibited plenty of that in my lifetime, so y’all need to show this single mom some damn grace. For the love of Dolly Parton.
Luke Danes — Luke! We love you Luke. You were almost a Perfect BB Angel of Gilly Girls who would have ended up in an entirely different Substack listicle. But alas. As amazing as he was with Rory, as hard as he tried with Jess, as forgiving as he was with Liz, and as patient as he was with TJ, Lane, Caesar, and so many other little whirlwinds coming in and out of his diner and life—he got me all the way fucked up when he hid April’s existence from Lorelai for like…months. This is while the two of them are starting to plan their wedding. THEN, Lorelai finds out, as she was bound to do, and what does Luke do? Does he make it better? No, no, my friend—he unfortunately does not. He keeps them apart because he is worried April will “like Lorelai better”—YOU KIDDIN ME? Cherry on top? He insists they postpone their wedding, too, and Lorelai goes along with it for months until it is too painful for her to go along with anymore.
I love Mr. Danes and I have forgiven him for these ridiculous and hurtful mistakes, but his lil sexy ass is still number 28 on this list. Forgive but not forget.
sigh…story of your life, Luke Liz Danes — Liz is one of these characters who I really have a hard time placing on this here list. We don’t know a whole lot about her. She could possibly go lower. She could possibly go higher. What we do know, is that she was not always there for Jess when he was a child, especially in the way he needed her. Her behavior could be erratic, for sure. Was she dealt a real shit hand when her baby-daddy up and left her and Jess? Yeah. Shit was not fair. Did she most of the time try her best? Yes. But she seemed to never really grow up, and fully admitted to being ‘wasted’ while pregnant with Jess. Ehhh. We’re all human, and Liz Danes is no exception. She gets major points for homing in on the fact that Luke wanted to dick Lorelai down but was too shy to make moves. Luke and Lorelai dancing at Liz and TJ’s wedding is easily one of the most precious scenes of the series.
Jess Mariano — If you think Jess should be ranked higher on this list, I DON’T WANNA HEAR IT. I was quite literally an ‘out of control’ child growing up because my dad also said ‘goodbye responsibility’ when I was like 4, and then my mom, try as she might, was often not saying or doing the right thing, or there for me the way I needed her. I really identify with Jess. I easily could have been pawned off on an aunt like how Liz reached out to Luke to ‘help’ with her ‘problem child.’ Was it nice of him to steal Babette’s gnome? No, it was rude. He was also a child. Was it the most sane or cute look when he was like, Run away with me Rory, blow this
Ivy League schoolPopsicle stand and be with me! No, not it was not the cutest look. But as the series continues we see him really mature and evolve. Honestly, at one point he seems to be growing while Rory regresses.Madeline & Louise (they are basically the same spoiled wealthy girls with highlights and manicures, so they might as well be the same number/same rank) — M&L are what society would call ‘boy crazy,’ and the only things they read are Vogue and People magazine. High chance they’ll be sugar babies when they’re older, and I love that for them.
Lucy & Olivia (but particularly Lucy, because she refers to Marty only as “boyfriend” and I’m SORRY but objectively that is obnoxious) — They ended up squashing the beef, thank goodness, but I did not appreciate the way Lucy and Olivia immediately shunned Rory after Marty’s awkward-ass lies blew up in his face, momentarily blowing up all their relationships. Also, LOL at Logan being like “Oh, I can’t stand by and watch these lies happen, I’m just such a moral guy, I simply must speak up!” Oh, now you wanna uphold values like honesty? Boy, bye.
Zack Van Gerbig — Mostly he’s just simple, and he tries his best. But, remember that time when he becomes green with envy and fully breaks up the band for a while? Hep Alien could have been huge, Zack…coulda been huge.
Tobin — Some of you may be like, “Who the fuck is Tobin?” He was the night manager at the Independence Inn. Tobin was an obnoxious suck up who, sure, seemed very nice to Lorelai and Sookie, but I always felt like he intentionally liked one-upping Michel and ‘being the favorite,’ and I can’t stand that personality trait.
Doyle — Okay. I almost listed Doyle as a ‘Sweet BB Angel’ of Gilly Gurlz who did no wrong, mainly because he put up with (and matched) Paris’ crazy, and I applaud him for that. We also love a Short King. However, remember that time he and Paris broke up, and later that night he and Rory spent the night commiserating and getting wasted at the bar? He nuzzled into Rory’s neck, and if she didn’t immediately shut that down, who knows how far he would have tried to take it. I always looked at him with a slight side eyed suspicion after that moment.
Andrew — The Stars Hollow town person who had no last name, and we never got a peek into his life—not even a glimpse!...something was a little off about him, right?? Did he run a bookstore, or was it a schedule ll narcotic/money laundering front? Why wasn’t Rory there more? That girl fuckin loved books. Did he give her the creeps? Why did she only work there so very briefly!? WE NEED ANSWERS, ANDREW.
This brings us to the end of this list. I would absolutely love to hear from my fellow Gilly Gurlz fans in the comments. Please restack, ‘like’ if you feel so inclined, and hit that Subscribe button if ya nasty!
Thanks for reading, baddies. Xox
I’ve never seen the show, but my cousin loves this. Just shared her this post
