Fast-Talking Worlds Will Collide When Bunheads's Sutton Foster Comes To Gilmore Girls

[Primetimer]

This might just be the greatest crossover event of all time, and we have some suggestions on exactly how to execute it.

Read the story

[adam807]

Michelle sits Rory down for a very serious talk about her string of terrible boyfriends but it turns into a huge tap number:

[zxy556575]

Michelle runs over Jess Luke on her way into town.

 

 

Fixed!

[Guest]

I could do with her running Jess over.

[allonsyalice]

I'm madly praying for Michelle to run Jess over, now. 

Poor Michel. I'm not sure he'd his like tall, loud, fast-talking nearly Lorelai Michelle counterpart.

Sutton Foster on Gilmore Girls is an idea made of win.

I do wonder if she's playing her Bunheads character how they resolve the notion that Emily Gilmore is going to look EXACTLY like that lady she works with at her dance studio.

[FrumiusManxome]

I absolutely adore Sutton Foster. So I'm not even mad that this is fairly ridiculous.

[ComfySweater]

Can we specify that Jess is toast and never heard from again? I fear extended hospital scenes and crying that I'd rather avoid.

He's

scheduled to be in 3 out of the 4 episodes.

She could be the new Mrs. Christopher (showing he never got over Lorelai), or a long lost cousin (who looked up to her cool cousin growing up), or Emily's new friend from the DAR (who is everything she wanted Lorelai to be), or she could be Rory's boss (aka Work mom).

Basically I want her to be Bizzaro Lorelai, and to become fast friends, because women hating each other for no reason is played out.

Any of those scenerios would work beautifully. I could get behind any of them.

But that's not a typical tact for Amy Sherman-Palladino anyway. It's far more typical of one of her shows to have characters that occupy that middle ground that most of us have in real life--where they interact but aren't particularly friends or enemies. There may be quipping from a protagonist about things another character does that annoys them, but it's rarely to never constructed as women "hating each other". It's her characters being quirky sarcastic oddballs.

[Risky Librarian]

The Best Option, PLEASE. And can she back over him to see what she ran over, and then run over him again? I need this so, so very much.

[Gooey]

I too want SF's character to be in Lorelai's world and in a positive way.

I think it would make sense for Lorelai to have made new female friend(s) since we last saw her. Given that Rory is likely not in Stars Hollow too often and especially if Sookie is MIA. She's a sociable creature.

Wasn't there a spoiler back in Season 5 or 6 (5 I think) where Emily was to get close to a woman of Lorelai's age within the DAR circles? And then the storyline mever came to pass for whatever reason. So perhaps that is seeing the light of day now? I'm sure I didn't imagine it! I'll try to find it.

Having LG and SF in the same scene would be awesome.

Edited. Found it! Scroll to end.

I could so see that being the case that SF is Emily's protege and inheritor for the DAR and is basically Lorelai of that world. Of course, this is funny, my wife and mother-in-law recently became friends with a DAR for our chapter who is a GG fan. She ended up saying: "Too bad they will get the DAR completely wrong when the show comes back like they did before." I laughed hard at that one.
