 Louise Grant (played by Teal Redmann  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teal_Redmann ) and Madeline Lynn (played by Shelly Cole http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelly_Cole ) are Paris’ best friends. Louise is very emotionless and Madeline is not to bright. The two are more interested in boys then they are in school work. Tristan DuGrey (played by Chad Michael Murray http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_Michael_Murray ) is fellow classmate, at Chilton, of Paris, Madeline, Louise and Rory. Paris is completely infatuated with him but he has his eye on Rory, always bugging and annoying her, calling her “Mary”. Rory eventually gets rid of him at a dance when Dean puts him in his place. Later at a party, after Dean and Rory brake up, Tristan and Rory kiss. Rory starts to cry because she is confused emotionally. Rory suggests to Tristan, that he should date Paris, he does but they brake up because Paris wasn’t the one for him. Tristan later gets into pranking and shirked off his school work. After a prank went to far, Tristan’s father sends him to military school right before a class presentation, which he was to play Romeo. Tristan’s last words on the show were "Take care of yourself....Mary.", to which Rory laughed and sighed has he turned and walk away. Out of the three, i'd have to say that I like Madeline the best because she is more friendly and not so emotionless.

Blog # 7 - Gilmore Girls character info, Paris and Kirk


Liza Weil as Paris Geller.

Paris Eustace Geller (played by Liza Weil 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liza_Weil ) is a spoiled Jewish rich girl. She was mainly raised by her nanny. At first she was Rory’s enemy because of their similar grades, interests in college, boys ect… They slowly warm up to each other and become best friends. Paris has a big crush on Tristin, but it just so happens that Tristin has a thing for Rory and tries to start a fight with her boyfriend at the time, Dean. Tristin’s crush on Rory is one of the reasons that Paris hates Rory in the beginning. Paris dreams of attending Harvard University, but she ends up going to Yale instead after being rejected by Harvard. Kirk Gleason (played by Sean Gunn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Gunn ) is a weird, sweet-hearted man, he has had a crush on Lorelai for a long time until he meets, dates and falls in love with Lulu.

Blog # 6 - Gilmore Girls character info, Dean, Jess and Lindsay



Jared Padalecki as Dean
Forester.
                     
                          Milo Ventimiglia as Jess
                      Mariano.















Arielle Kebbel as Lindsay Lister.
Dean Forester (played by Jared Padalecki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Padalecki ) was the new guy in town, he has a sister named Clara and was Rory’s first boyfriend. Dean and Rory start to spend more time together and eventually start dating. They eventually start to have problems in their relationship due to the arrival of Jess Mariano (played by Milo Ventimiglia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_Ventimiglia ) who is Luke’s nephew. Jess’ mom, Liz, sent him to live with his uncle Luke in hope to “point him in the right direction”. He gets a job at Wal*Mart and starts hanging out with Rory, he seems to be heading in the right direction. It was quite evident that he had a crush on Rory and she starts to have feelings for him too. Dean gets jealous and brakes up with Rory. Although he was the reason for braking up Dean and Rory’s relationship, he begins dating Rory, but they have communication issues and end the relationship. After Rory graduates from Chilton, Jess leaves Stars Hollow for California. He later reappears briefly in season 4 and then again in season 7.  After Rory and Dean brake up, (while Jess and Rory are dating), Dean starts dating a girl named Lindsay Lister (played by Arielle Kebbel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arielle_Kebbel ) and marries her. Dean soon figures out that marrying Lindsay was a mistake because he is still madly in love with Rory. He and Rory start an affair, which is Rory’s “first time”. Lindsay eventually finds out and kicks Dean out. They divorce and soon after, Rory and Dean start dating but brake up for good because Rory starts to have feelings for a rich guy named Logan. I didn't really like Lindsay because she didn't seem like the girl for Dean. If I had to pick between Dean and Jess, i'd have a difficult time because i'm not to sure about who I think should be with Rory. They are both pretty awesome.

Scott Patterson as Luke Danes.
Yanic Truesdale as Michel
Gerard.

Luke Danes (played by Scott Patterson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Patterson_(actor) ) owns a diner in Stars Hollow named “Luke’s Diner” that was previously owned by his father as a hardware store called “William’s Hardware”. Luke’s father was left to raised him and his sister, Liz, by himself when their mom passed away when they were very young. When his father died, Luke took ownership of the store and converted it into a diner, but kept it’s original name for awhile. Everyone in Stars Hollow seems to know about Luke’s crush on Lorelai, but he doesn’t act on it until the sixth season. Luke later finds out in the middle season six, that he had a 12 year old daughter named April, this causes strain on Luke and Lorelai‘s relationship. Michel Gerard (played by Yanic Truesdale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanic_Truesdale ) is the concierge at the Independence Inn. Michel is French, snobbish and not very polite or nice to anyone. He has a very distinguished style and a strict low carb diet. In the beginning, Michel holds a lot of hostility towards Luke and pretty much everyone he talks to, but as the series goes on Michel seems to become more friendly and tolerant of those around him.

Mrs. Kim owns an antique shop in her house. Lane later gets married to Zach Van Gerbig.

After the fake wedding they all go to the Stars Hollow church and do a Catholic wedding and have a grand after-party that all people of Stars Hollow are invited to, since its such a little town and everyone knows each other.

Blog # 3 - Gilmore Girls character info, Richard and Emily


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Herrmann#Filmography ) is an executive in an insurance company, then he starts his own company then finally works as a professor at Yale University. He is Lorelai’s father, Rory’s grandfather and husband to Emily Gilmore. (Played by Kelly Bishop http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Bishop ) Emily is Lorelai’s mother, Rory’s grandmother and of course, Richard’s wife. She is a stay-at-home wife and is very particular about appearances. Her mother-daughter relationship with Lorelai is not a very strong one due to her snobbish personality, but she establishes Friday night dinners that Rory and Lorelai must attend every Friday night at seven PM in exchange for Rory’s in hopes for a better relationship. Richard and Lorelai don’t have much of father-daughter relationship either, but it is a better one the that of Emily’s. Despite the issues between his daughter, Richard and Rory are very close. Emily is very active in the Hartford community. She a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Symphony Fundraising Committee, the President of the Horticultural Society, a Co-Chair of the Starlight Foundation the Hartford Zoological Silent Auction, the Mark Twain House Restoration Fund Luncheon, and the Harriet Beecher Stowe Literacy Auction. If i had to pick a favourite out of the two, I wouldn't know who to pick because they both add some much caracter to the show and  i couldn't imagine the show without them.

Blog # 2 - Gilmore Girls character info, Sookie and Jackson


Melissa McCarthy as Sookie St. James
(left) and Jackson Douglas as Jackson
 Belleville. (right)

Sookie St. James ( played by Melissa McCarthy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_McCarthy ) is Lorelai’s clumsy best friend, chef at both the Independence Inn and the Dragonfly Inn and later co-owner of the Dragonfly Inn. She later marries Jackson Belleville, ( played by Jackson Douglas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Douglas ) a whiny local fruit and vegetable farmer and supplier for the Independence Inn. Jackson runs for town selectman but later resigns due to realisation of not wanting the job. Sookie gave birth to David Edward Belleville, (also known as Davey) in episode 7, season 4, and Martha Janice Lori Ethan Rupert Glenda Carson Daisy Danny Belleville in episode 21, season 5. Martha has so many middle names because, although they both agree to stop at two, Jackson had previously planed to have many children. They decided to use all of the names Jackson planned on using on their future children, that were not going to happen due to Jackson‘s vasectomy, for Martha’s middle name(s). When Sookie is feeling sick, Jackson later tells her that he in fact did not have the vasectomy, and that she is pregnant with a third child. Jackson’s weird family persuade him into baptising both children as Christians in the town’s church. Sookie then asks Lorelai to be Martha’s godmother and Rory to be Davey’s godmother. If i had to pick a favourite between Sookie and Jackson, i'd definitely chose Sookie because she is funny without even trying. She is clumsy and just all around a sweet person.

Blog # 1 - Gilmore Girls basic info and character info, Lorelai and Rory


 Here is the theme song and opening credits to Gilmore Girls. (Where You Lead I Will Follow by Carole King and Louise Goffin.)



Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore
(left) and Alexis Bledel as Rory
Gilmore. (right)

Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, Gilmore Girls was a popular American comedy drama show. It first aired on The WB Television Network, October 5th 2000 until May 15th 2007. (Over the time span of seven years, there are 7 seasons, a total of 153 episodes with a possibility of a Gilmore Girls movie in the near future.) The show is based on main characters Lorelai Victoria Gilmore (played by Lauren Graham http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Graham ) and her daughter Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, more commonly known as Rory, (played by Alexis Bledel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_Bledel ) threw their average lives, many friendships and relationships. Lorelai was a teen mother, thus leading her to dropped out of high school and run away from her wealthy life to co-own and manage both the Dragonfly Inn and the Independence Inn in the small town of Stars Hollow. Despite the closeness in age between her and her daughter, they have a strong bond, Lorelai is a great, funny and understanding mother. Rory is very passionate about her schoolwork , she transfers form Stars Hollow High to Chilton and dreams of going to Harvard University but ends up going to Yale University. She looks up to her mother and considers her as a best friend that she can talk to about anything. They both have a love for coffee, especially Lorelai. If i had to chose a favourite between the two, I don't think i would be able to since both Lorelai and Rory are great characters. Here is a clip from the very first episode to show how much Lorelai loves coffee.
