Gilmore To Read: Game, Set, Edward Schmit Has An Unexpected Gilmore Match

Gilmore Girls lovers, on Wednesdays, we talk books!!! USA Today Bestseller Edward Schmit is here to explain how tennis is the perfect metaphor for Gilmore girls and his debut novel THE OPEN ERA. If you haven't read it, Austin Hardy is the first openly gay male tennis player to compete in a Grand Slam where he not only must battle his opponents across the court, but also his mental health and media attention he doesn't want. Not to mention a rather handsome new rival that takes an interest in him after an incident during a practice session. Will Austin be able to handle all of this and more? Well, he has his comfort show to help him throughout: Gilmore girls, of course! In this episode, Edward shares what he was like in high school (was he a Rory?) how his screenwriting era helped build a cinematic novel, why tennis is the perfect back drop for a romance, and why he thinks high school Dean is Rory's best boyfriend. I KNOW! Hear him out, hear him out. I see his point, y'all! Want more Gilmore Girls inspired book recommendations?

John Stephens Solemnly Swears by Khakis

“Don’t you think this is funny?” “You know, I don’t…” -John Stephens, Gilmore Girls S1E13 Concert Interruptus. Except he does think it’s funny, he wrote on the show!!! Gilmore Girls Writer (and cameo actor) John Stephens sits down with us today to talk about his time in the writers room on Seasons 1-4 of our favorite series. How did he land the job (and what was he wearing when he met Amy???)? What characters did he love writing? And what iconic line did he pen that still brings a smile to his face every so often? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable because Tara, Haley and John have more to say!

Gilmore to Consider: Did Jess push Rory and Dean together in Season 4?

Where you call, we will answer! We are going into the archives to grab some juicy voicemails about Raincoats and Recipes. Would Rory have run away with Jess if not for Dean? Why didn’t Lorelai invite Dean and Lindsey to the Dragonfly Inn test run? And why do we always say Rory dumped Dean when Dean dumps Rory every time???

Gilmore to Consider: Was Rory Trying To Live Up To Richard’s Expectations?

Where you call, we will answer! It’s time for our June Round Up and boy did we talk about a LOT this month. The best townie lines, the Gilmores in Stars Hollow, Richard’s relationship with Lorelai vs. Rory AND Gilmore Girls leaving Netflix?! What a month! We start with some of your Stars Hollow Townie one-liner honorable mentions and hear from one of our besties who thinks that Rory’s studious nature came from craving the Gilmores’ approval. Do we agree? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable because Tara and Haley have more to consider! Whimsy goes with everything!!!
