8 years. EIGHT YEARS! We Gilmore Girls fans have been waiting 8 years for a REAL finale for our friends of Stars Hollow. If you remember, the series just kind of ended…with a lot of loose ends left blowing in the small town air. We later found out the cast, crew, and writers weren’t aware the series was being cancelled… and therefore, the questions we were all left with were meant to be answered in the next season. Not only does the series continue to enthral its original cult following since being off the air, it has even gained new, younger fans who are now binging on the coffee queens through Netflix. So, it only makes sense that Netflix is the venue for the much anticipated revival. We may still have over a year of waiting for this magical on screen reunion of the characters we love to take place. Filming hasn’t started, heck, contracts haven’t even been finalized yet. But, this seems like the perfect time to let the writers know exactly what we want answered in this 4 episode miniseries.

15 Rory’s Career

[caption id="attachment_14683" align="alignnone" width="1600"] via:http://images4.fanpop.com[/caption]

When we last left (or were pulled away from) Rory, she was on her way to cover Obama’s presidential campaign and travel the country. (Anyone else feel that job was random for Miss News Paper Girl?) She said no to Logan’s proposal (what?!) and is newly single. So… what happened after the campaign? Obama won, so did she continue a career covering his presidency? Did she write for the president? Or did she work her way into the position of editor of a news paper or magazine? Did she ever cross paths with Mitchem Huntzberger again? (He does own like every news paper in Gilmore Girls land.) WHAT IS SHE DOING WITH THAT IVY LEAGUE DEGREE?

14 Paris and Doyle

[caption id="attachment_14682" align="alignnone" width="732"] via:http://slavkuv.net[/caption]

I think we’re all pretty certain these two are still together. But what are they doing? Do they have kids? Are they working together at the same news paper? Is Paris the bread winner? (She seems like she would be.) Where do they live? All we need is just a glimpse into this couple’s life: Just to make sure they’re doing ok.

13 Lane

[caption id="attachment_14681" align="alignnone" width="840"] via:http://ciaomondo.altervista.org[/caption]

LANE! The best BFF in the world. She was a new mommy when we last saw her. But we still have many questions concerning possibly the coolest girl in Stars Hollow. Are she and Zack still in the band with Brian? (Please have Dave come back for just one scene.) How are their kids? Is she more of a “Lorelai” or a “Mrs. Kim” when it comes to her parenting style? (I’m betting she’s somewhere in between.) Does she still see Rory? Does she still work at Luke’s? Has her relationship with her own mother improved since having the twins? …Does she like sex now? (You know you were wondering the same thing!) I need Lane to have the awesome, happy life she deserves please.

12 Hep Alien

The band. Yes, THE band of Gilmore Girls. I really hope they’re still together making music. Did they ever make it big? Just one hit song would be so good for them! Do they still tour? Did Dave ever contact them again? Was he weirded out that Zack and Lane ended up together? Hoping for a performance scene from these guys!

11 Luke and Lorelai

[caption id="attachment_14684" align="alignnone" width="770"] via:http://www.heroesandheartbreakers.com[/caption]

This may be the most obvious question of all. We watched them flirt and dance around each other for years. They got together (yes!), got engaged (YAY!!), and then broke up (boo!), and continued their flirtatious dance some more. The series finale concluded with the two kissing. So… what does this mean? Did they get back together? Are they married? Did they have a kid? COME ON! We NEED to know!!!

10 Emily

[caption id="attachment_14680" align="alignnone" width="1032"] via:allthedaysordained.blogspot.com[/caption]

Sadly, Edward Herrmann (the actor who played Richard) passed away late last year. The man was a fantastic actor and had a reputable career way before his time on Gilmore Girls. But his passing brings a very important change in dynamic on the show. I’m assuming the writers will pay due respect and address Richard’s passing (instead of saying he’s away or out of the country.) This means Emily is now a widow. And it’s so hard to imagine Emily without Richard. But we all know the character is going to be a mess. Her lifetime partner is now gone. So what does this mean for Emily? Does she move out of that big house? Does she stay with Lorelai or move to Stars Hollow? What role will Richard’s absence play on her relationship with those around her?

9 Richard

[caption id="attachment_14678" align="alignnone" width="642"] via:wordpress.com[/caption]

This is the part of the revival where tears will be flowing. Mr. Herrmann’s presence will surely be missed. His portrayal of the strong, firm, stern, but always loveable and warm Richard was one of the major assets to this series. But how will they say he passed? Will it be his heart? An accident? And how much time will have passed since his character left? Will it be something that just happened or will it be years after the fact? Either way, I will be bawling like a baby when this part of the story is addressed.

8 Sookie

[caption id="attachment_14677" align="alignnone" width="2000"] via:http://i.huffpost.com/[/caption]

This is a tricky subject since Melissa McCarthy has moved on to big time movie roles since her time at the Dragonfly Inn. Rumors are already flying that Melissa will not be appearing in the revival. We are all hoping she does. (I mean, the writers and casting director did believe in Melissa before she was a movie star!) But we want to know… are Sookie and Jackson still together? (Please say yes.) How many kids do they have now? (Did Jackson ever get that vasectomy?) Does Jackson still sell vegetables while Sookie cooks at the Inn?

7 Dragonfly Inn

[caption id="attachment_14676" align="alignnone" width="611"] via:http://hookedonhouses.net/[/caption]

Speaking of the Inn, is it still up and running? Are Sookie and Lorelai still co-owners? Are things going smoothly? Is Michel still working with them? Is he still suffering from ennui? Is the inn now a famous honeymoon or vacation destination?

6 Logan

[caption id="attachment_14675" align="alignnone" width="900"] via:http://www.jojopix.com/[/caption]

Oh, Logan. Why did Rory say no to you? You were getting it together…You’re pretty much the whole package…Sigh. But what happened after he received that “No”? Did he go off to a bar and drink? Was he angry? Did he quickly find a new girl? I also wonder about Logan long term. Did he decide to succumb to his father’s wishes and follow the path laid out for him? Or did he get a 9-5, establish himself, and then set off to start and run his own company? (I’m rooting for the latter.) Is he married now? Or forever stuck in his bachelor ways?

5 Dean

[caption id="attachment_14674" align="alignnone" width="576"] via:media.tumblr.com[/caption]

How could anyone forget the whole Lindsay – Rory - Dean saga. Yeesh! Talk about DRAMA! Has he recovered from that heartbreak? Is he still in Stars Hollow or did he move back to Chicago? What is he doing with his life? Did he go to college? Or did he stick with odd jobs around town? Is he running the market? I’m pretty sure Dean would be married with kids by now. He seemed like a family guy. Did he and Rory ever smooth things over and become friends again?

4 Jess

[caption id="attachment_14673" align="alignnone" width="600"] via:http://cdn.teen.com/[/caption]

Shout out to all of my Team Jess ladies out there! Every girl loves a bad boy, right? But Jess was that bad boy with a good heart. Smart with a ton of potential, it was great to see his character grow up and get himself together towards the end of the series. I just want to know what happened to the man. Did he ever get over Rory? Did he write a bestseller? Maybe he runs a big publishing company now. Is he still in Philly? Or did he go back to New York? …As you can tell I’m completely emotionally invested in these characters.

3 Rory’s Love Life

[caption id="attachment_14672" align="alignnone" width="1024"] via:http://img2-3.timeinc.net/[/caption]

So what’s going on, Rory? Did she settle down? Did she regret saying no to Logan’s proposal? Did she reconnect with any of her former loves? Or did she find someone new? (I hope she found a new man.) Or is she perfectly content traveling the world and pursuing her dreams? (That would be a great conclusion for her too.)

2 Where are Madeline and Louise?

[caption id="attachment_14671" align="alignnone" width="826"] via:http://www.cs.fredonia.edu/[/caption]

Last we saw these former Chilton girls; they were making their way through the college party circuit. But…uh…did they actually attend class and graduate from college? What are they doing now? Are they successful career women running a business centered around social media? Are they married to some very wealthy men? Are they still hitting the party scene? Do they talk to Rory or Paris anymore? Did they ever cross paths with Tristan in their travels? (Remember Tristan?!)

1 Friday Night Dinners

[caption id="attachment_14670" align="alignnone" width="850"] via:http://www.etonline.com[/caption]

These dinners made the show. PLEASE tell us they are still happening. And while it will certainly never be the same without Richard, maybe Luke now attends and brings a different dynamic to the table. Literally. I need to see these ladies quip back and forth at the dinner table. It’s all a part of that wonderfully warm, real family dynamic we all fell in love with. Just one more year until we find out what really happened to them all.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel, my friends!
