Fans of Gilmore Girls were recently brought to tears when two of the show's beloved stars reunited after almost 25 years since the series first aired. The show, which premiered in 2000, was a hit comedy-drama created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, starring Lauren Graham as single mother Lorelai and Alexis Bledel as her daughter Rory Gilmore.
The show ran for seven successful seasons, ending in 2007, but then made a much-anticipated return in 2016 with a four-part miniseries titled "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life." Viewers were once again able to follow the daily lives of Lorelai and Rory in the quaint town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, as Lorelai pursued her dream of owning and operating an inn while Rory aimed to attend Harvard University. However, they also had to navigate the expectations of Lorelai's wealthy parents, Emily and Richard Gilmore, played by Kelly Bishop and the late Edward Herrmann.
In a unique arrangement, Emily and Richard agreed to pay for Rory's tuition at an exclusive private school in exchange for the family attending weekly Friday night dinners. Recently, Lauren Graham (who played Lorelai) and Kelly Bishop (who played Emily) shared a heartwarming reunion photo on Instagram, bringing back memories of the show's iconic Friday night dinner scenes.
In the photo, Lauren, now 57, and Kelly, 80, are seen smiling and enjoying a meal together, with Lauren captioning the picture "Here's to the ladies who lunch. #Kelly." Fans were overjoyed by the reunion, with many referencing the show's famous Friday night dinners. Some even joked about the terms and conditions of this particular lunch.
Famous faces also joined in on the excitement, with Mae Whitman (who played Lauren's daughter in the show Parenthood) commenting "faves" and Beanie Feldstein exclaiming "literally all that matters to me."
Gilmore Girls also featured other notable stars such as Melissa McCarthy, Scott Patterson, Milo Ventimiglia, and Jared Padalecki, with guest appearances by Chad Michael Murray and Adam Brody. The 2016 miniseries picked up nine years after the original series ended, with a cliffhanger ending that left fans eagerly awaiting more. Alexis Bledel (who played Rory) shared that the conclusion was a surprise but was an authentic ending that only Amy Sherman-Palladino could have created.
For those who want to relive the magic of Gilmore Girls, the show is currently streaming on Netflix.
