It is difficult to pinpoint when exactly “Gilmore Girls” became such a hit, as the series was usually (and notoriously) omitted during awards season when on the air. However, “Gilmore Girls” continues to reign as a cult-classic, almost exclusively due to the devotion of its fans, as recently seen at the revival’s Los Angeles premiere, which overflowed with fans trying to catch a peek of their favorite characters on the red carpet.

Lauren Graham on Gilmore Girls Revival: It’s “What I Wanted It to Be”

Vanity Fair caught up with the show’s cast and creators to get some new details ahead of the heartfelt dramedy’s return next week.

 

 

Jimmy Fallon talked about his love for the show, expressing what fans feel.

Ah, Dean Forester. Arguably, Dean has gone through the largest transformation since leaving Stars Hollow, since Padelecki has bulked up as a star of Supernatural. Sherman-Palladino will definitely have some explaining to do, but don’t worry, the answer has been in front of us the whole time. Dean Forester has secretly always been another character, Sam Winchester. Living in Stars Hollow for part of his teen years while his family followed a lead on the demon that killed his mom, he took on his brother, Dean’s, name and attempted to live a normal life. This explains his character’s sudden absences, obsession with a “girl who reads,” and that killer leather jacket. Trust me, this tracks . . . as long as you ignore the fact that he had a little sister and got married . . . Because, really, is there any other cause for someone to bulk up like that? Give me one reason. Military? Not with that hair. Crossfit trainer? Maybe.
