Yeah, LG and AB were locked into seven years. Last year there was concern (though I never understood why) about whether SP would sign - I always figured that was a given.

I think if this is the end of the series, they will be very careful how they release that news and how the reason for it ending gets spun. I don't think any one actor will be blamed - I'm guessing it will be something like that after seven years, the girls wanted to pursue other opportunities in film, etc.

And if there is another season, Luke will be sent to NM (because they were too late, or left penniless to negotiate with SP, who moved on to a new pilot by then) and Logan will be sent again to London by Mitchum (because MC committed to another pilot by the time they wanted to negotiate with him, as well). I can, however, see DS available, re - signing sneaking his way back into SH and Lorelai's life.

GOD NO!

Kill me now!

The CW had a struggling year,and GG is an aging show,imho there's no way they'd agree to pay spropositate amounts of money to LG and AB.

If I were in the other actors shoes,I'd start looking for new jobs.

I'm not upset at the prospect of GG ending this year,anyway.I think the show has run its course and it's time to let it go.

Which may be a reason for her to initially say no. But if it is brought up on more than one occasion, it doesn't seem quite so impetuous. Not to mention they have been discussing their place in each other's lives as recently as last Tuesday.

The indications from LG have been there all along that she was tired, wanted more of a life, etc. and that this might end this year. I took all that in and came to the conclusion that it would end this year. I'll miss the show but since I've kinda absorbed it, I won't be as disappointed.

I just do hope if they do end this year, they do a two hour finale. Pay the girls and everyone else what they want to do a two hour show and let it happen. I think it would be doable and a good way to send off the girls into their futures.

Maybe in her mind but I was talking about from the shows POV.

Also thanks Katie for the ep description for GGO, so I guess some were right and Emily is sick of Richard already LOL Doesn't sound like much (if any contact) with L&L but at least he's not just being paid to wave

True. Though, without an 8th season, DSR probably won't bring a "long last daughter" kind of trouble to mess with RL. Now if the prospect of a new season, sure there will be problems for the couple (engaged or not).

I don't. Mostly because there's actual storyline potential outside of them getting married and gazing fondly into one another's eyes. A big Gilmore/Hunzberger pow wow, arguments, etc. If they get engaged in May there's little time for that. This is a sweeps period, and the thing that seems to string these three episodes together is Rory & Logan, their futures, and more specifically Logan. So it would make sense that it happens here. And it allows time for other stories to be told in May, during the final eps of the season, possibly series.

While I think his ego's going to be severely bruised and he's going to have his confidence shaken. 3 million dollars is pocket change for him, or maybe even the change in the back of the couch. I doubt the money itself is going to be the issue. More likely the emotional issues it brings up. Which I think the ep descrips do imply. Crawling back to Mitchum, we'll see. It wouldn't seem so in 18.

*glares* I think it's happening in both episodes. That the initial proposal happens in 16, the reitteration & acceptance, letting her know he's serious, in 17. I do also think the title refers to Lorelai's first trip back into the diner. Maybe at the beginning of the episode.

Heh. Maybe this will be their way of getting Logan into a tux this season? It hasn't happened as of yet, and it has to once a season. And what gentleman doesn't always have a tux with him when he travels?

Awww, thanks, Wayne! Maybe like LD&T? As someone said to me, I think it was yesterday, one girl is getting back together with her ex who she finally is able to communicate with and tell she loves, the other is getting engaged. Next ep is the big talk between Lorelai & Luke.

That's what I'm thinking. Unlike Luke, she says no. I think I said that a few pages ago. Doesn't think it's the right time to be making this decision, he's not in the right frame of mind, etc.

Logan has no long lost kiddos. If he impregnated someone, or there was a possibility he had, we would know, because they would be after him for his money. That's something I never have worried a bit about. Ever.

And thanks Sassy. I hope you're allowed to tell us that (did s/he say you could?)
And that makes one very very nervous about next year.

My Friend did give me permission to post the info after some negotiations on wording. MF is a little worried about someone from work figuring out who they are because MF has never done anything like this before. (Evidently it is done a lot by others.) MF is a BIG Gilmore Girls fan and really likes SP. That's how we bonded.

MF knows of my Luke/SP obsession so naturally that was one of the actors I was most concern with regarding their status. But, I believe that Matt is also anxiously awaiting some word regarding his status. I don't think Kelly and Ed are quite as concern but to be honest we didn't discuss them that much.

Did I mention my Luke/SP obsession?

Of course we need Lauren and Alexis to sign but as far as I am concern, Scott is just as important. MF actually agrees with me and is worried that Warner Bros is screwing up by not at least starting good faith negotiations with him because Scott is not know for his patience (hee hee).

MF feels that Scott will go ahead and film this pilot he has been offered (he may have been offered more but MF wasn't certain). If the pilot is sold (granted, that is a big if), it will take a lot to get Scott to agree to another season.

Exactly, like how Max proposed to Lorelai, she turned him down and asked him to propose properly the next time. The Max proposed like she asked him to with the 1,000 daisies. If the writers have been watching old episodes it would make sense that they would do a parellel with season 1 where one girl gets her boyfriend back (Lorelai and Luke in this case) and the other gets engaged (Rory and Logan).

I agree that it would make for an actual interesting story arc,but I honestly can't see nothing in the episode descriptions and spoilers for 7.16 and 7.17 that can lead to speculate a proposal

I'm just saying that if the writers have in mind a R/L engagement,I think they're saving it for the season/series finale.But who knows...

lilmelodie · 02-15-2007, 01:44 PM

Here's a question maybe someone can answer. Do Lauren and Alexis get paid by the network or the studio?

And then in 7.17 they fall right back into the old bland storyline we've been seeing all this season. Where's the drama? This won't be a popular opinion, but mine is that Rory and Logan are quickly becoming the poster children for the old Hollywood "jump the shark" stand-by. Put them together, let them be happy, and they become mind-numbingly dull. There's so much potential there outside of little tiffs, pledges of love, and sugary-sweet make-ups by the end of the episode. I wish they'd use it.
