Gilmore Girls’ Lauren Graham and Kelly Bishop Have a Reunion
Grab a cup of Luke’s coffee because two of the Gilmore Girls are back together!
Lauren Graham posted a snap on Friday, June 28, via Instagram that showed her hanging out with Kelly Bishop, alongside the caption, “Here’s to the ladies who lunch.”
The two women donned big sunglasses while the Parenthood alum, 57, sported a bucket hat.
The Dirty Dancing star, 80, kept it classy in a black jacket, hoop earrings and a silver necklace.
Lorelai Gilmore once said, “Everything’s magical when it snows,” and every Gilmore Girls fan has their favorite winter episodes. Yes, Gilmore Girls is known for being a fall show, which might be due to the autumnal vibe of the opening credits. However, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) always made it clear that winter is her favorite season, […]
Fans loved the nostalgic meeting, with one viewer simply commenting, “Icons.”
“This is literally a cultural reset thank you for your service,” a giddy poster added.
Another person pleaded, “Bring back Gilmore Girls! Not just a reboot, get it back on full time!”
“Two lovely ladies!❤️” someone chimed in.
Bishop portrayed Emily Gilmore, the mother of Graham’s character, Lorelai, on the WB teen drama.
Gilmore Girls aired from 2000 until 2007, with Netflix debuting a revival miniseries in 2016.
Alexis Bledel starred as the youngest Gilmore girl, Rory, who often had to choose between the three main loves of her life throughout the course of her life: Dean Forester (Jared Padalecki), Jess Mariano (Milo Ventimiglia) and Logan Huntzberger (Matt Czuchry) in her small town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut.
Back in May, Graham gushed over her longtime friendship with Bishop during a promo event for her second memoir, “Have I Told You This Already?: Stories I Don’t Want to Forget to Remember.”
“Kelly Bishop is another example of what I’m talking about in that passage, of the gift of having friends who are not your peers,” she said at the time. “I have a friend, she’s 80 years old. We go to lunch, we talk about the same thing. There’s no difference.”
Bishop is set to release her own memoir, “The Third Gilmore Girl,” in September.
It’s comforting to know that where you go, Gilmore Girls will follow — but some of the show’s characters would be better off left behind. Gilmore Girls premiered on the WB in 2000 and followed Lorelai (Lauren Graham), a single mother raising her daughter, Rory (Alexis Bledel), in the small Connecticut town of Stars Hollow. […]
Of course, the series wasn’t just about the girls. Stars Hollow was rounded out with an all-star cast of memorable characters played by Sean Gunn, Melissa McCarthy, Scott Patterson, Liza Weil, Keiko Agena, Yanic Truesdale and Edward Herrmann.
McCarthy, who played Lorelai’s best friend, Sookie St. James, revealed last year that filming the iconic series wasn’t always comfortable.
The comedian, 53, joked to Entertainment Weekly at the time: “Sometimes we were, like, crammed into small things with coats on but it was actually like 112 degrees in Burbank, [California]. And we were like, ‘Brrr, Connecticut!’ And I was like, ‘Are we explaining why I have Malaria and why I’m in a full flop sweat?’”
