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.
