Though Bishop thinks Emily would “probably” lean more toward Lorelai’s first love, Rory’s father Christopher (played by David Sutcliffe), “She should have been Team Luke,” Bishop insisted. “But she didn’t realize how much he cared about her, how important that relationship was all through the series.”
And though Scott Patterson’s Luke Danes was Lorelai’s endgame love, Bishop says it took Emily some time to come around to the idea of the diner owner becoming her son-in-law.
“Moving on to the extra four episodes, I don’t think she had any problem, at all, with the fact that they were going to get married,” Bishop said of the 2016 Netflix reboot, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. “I think she was fine with that. I think if she’d known, she would have been for Luke. But she didn’t have a lot of information about these other guys.”
