Gilmore Girls’ Kelly Bishop Reveals Her Favorite Of Rory’s Boyfriends
“He had a very manly quality.”
The ranking of Rory Gilmore’s boyfriends remains a point of contention for Gilmore Girls fans to this day, and one of the show’s biggest stars recently weighed in with her preference.
In a recent Instagram interview hosted by Gallery Books, actor Kelly Bishop, who played Emily Gilmore, revealed that she is firmly “Team Logan.”
“I really love the other two,” she said, referring to Jess Mariano (Milo Ventimiglia) and Dean Forester (Jared Padalecki). “But there is something about Logan. There’s something about his acting that I particularly liked in working with him, [and] he had a very manly quality, where the other guys were like boys, great boys. But Logan was like an old movie star, like a man.”
Viewers were introduced to Logan Huntzberger (Matt Czuchry), Rory’s Yale University classmate and love interest, in Season 5.
In Gilmore Girls’ seventh and final season, Logan proposed to Rory, but she turned him down in order to pursue a journalism career. The characters reunited in Netflix’s 2016 revival show, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, in which they had in an affair despite both being in relationships.
Rory’s Baby Daddy
Netflix’s 2016 revival ended with the surprise revelation that Rory was pregnant, but the baby’s father was not revealed.
Seven years later, the show’s costume supervisor, Valerie Campbell, did “the math” on TikTok for viewers. After talking through potential fathers, Campbell outlined in detail why Logan was the father.
“It was supposed to be very, very, very obvious,” she explained. “It was very obvious because Logan is Rory’s Christopher. She became just like Lorelai.”
