'Gilmore' creator's stunning reveal: 'I had a different path planned for
Rory'
by Michael Ausiello
My ongoing mission to get Amy Sherman-Palladino to cough up those elusive
final four Gilmore Girl words is finally starting to bear some juicy fruit.
Not that particular plum, no, but at least for the first time, she's
revealing details about what the series finale would've involved, had she
stuck with the show. Hey, it's a freaking start.
"I wanted different things for Rory," confesses AS-P. "I wanted her to
follow a different sort of path. [go] off on her own adventure, which I
guess she sort of did. I haven't [actually] seen the last season, but I
heard about it from other people."
Although Sherman-Palladino declines to detail her intended journey for Rory,
suffice it to say it would not have involved her joining Obama on the
campaign trail.
{Seems like Amy has always been a Hillary supporter. And Rosenthal
was for Obama, hence Rory following the Obama campaign/}
And while she's also mum on what she had in store for the rest of the
Gilmore gang, she does hint that she "had planned different paths" for them,
too. "I don't want to totally say [what my ideas were], because if there is
a movie in the making, I'm going to be basically delving back into where I
left off, and then I'm kind of [screwed]."
Yep, you read that correctly. AS-P, who's currently hard at work on a new
dramedy for HBO, is not giving up on the possibility of a Gilmore movie.
"Anything can happen," she insists. "I'm in touch with [Lauren Graham and
Alexis Bledel]. If there's a story to tell, then absolutely I think we're
all going to want to tell it. That's the bottom line.
"If I thought it was definitely not going to happen, I would say, 'No, it's
definitely not going to happen,'" she adds. "I would do that for you, my
friend. But I don't want to say that. Because I think that the beauty of
Gilmore, and the beauty of family relationship shows is, you never really
run out of story. You're going to battle your family until you're all in the
ground. Those things never resolve, doesn't matter how much therapy you get.
Ten years later, there's still going to be [material] there to mine and to
delve into."
So what do you think, Gilmore guys and girls? Theories as to what road AS-P
wanted to take Rory down? Are you also hanging on to hope of a Gilmore
movie? Or do you think it's time that everyone (myself included) moves on?
