Question: What is Alexis Bledel up to these days? — Maria
Ausiello: Beats me, but had Gilmore Girls been back this season, she
would've been (wait for it) spending time with ex-leading man Matt
Czuchry! No lie. Czuchry recently confirmed to me that despite Rory
and Logan's series-ending split, he quietly inked a new deal with the
show last spring that — if Gilmore was renewed for an abbreviated,
13-episode eighth season — would've called for Logan to return.
"Contractually, there was an agreement that I would come back for a
certain amount of episodes," reveals the upcoming Friday Night Lights
guest star, who insists TPTB didn't clue him in on why Logan would've
returned. "I don't know [what would've happened], because those
episodes were never written. There were a lot of hypotheticals about
what those 13 episodes would be." At the very least, the return
engagement probably would've given Rory-Logan a better send-off than
the forced breakup we got. Looking back, even Czuchry concedes the
duo's split felt rushed. "I felt like that particular episode, where
he asks her to marry him and then they break up and it's done, just
felt like too much at once considering that this relation****p was
something that had evolved over three seasons." That said, he
acknowledges that Gilmore producers were in a tough spot creatively
because "when they shot the episode, it wasn't known whether it was a
season finale or a series finale. I think that if everybody would've
known that it was a series finale, things would have went
differently."

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
