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.
