Un-aired Jess Scene!

Actor Greg Cipes has a clip of the unaired scene of Jess running into a sk8er gang after inadvertently stepping on Ivy's little brother's painting, which is now on youtube.
This was originally shot for 'Here Comes the Son' (the unofficial 'Windward Circle' pilot) but was taken out.

Milo Ventimiglia on Jess' Feelings for Rory, Speculation He Could Be Baby's Father

Love what he said

“I think that he’s never going to not love her. Now that doesn’t mean it’s a romantic love — it just means, I think, the two of them found something deep, a connection so deep when they were so young that even though their lives went on different paths, different directions, they had that,” says Ventimiglia of Jess and Rory’s relationship. “They had that together and you never lose it''

Also I know I am not one to, but i'll stir the pot and say that I wonder if he was speaking for the personal relationship too as well when he was describing the R/J relationship in a part of the interview that they didn't write so I couldn't copy it.

[BL.Arinna_1982]

Giving the last shot of Jess, I think he pretty much still loves her. But that speculation if that is his baby is funny. We all know who's baby is this. I mean, I think Amy said it even, that Jess to Rory is like Luke to Lorelai. Lorelai had Rory from Christopher, but got married to Luke. If you think vice versa, Rory's baby is from Logan, but she'll eventually gonna end up with Jess. This is how I think.

[Coco_Cat]

Rory's storyline will always make me both sad and angry. I'm actually sad for the characters that Milo descibed because Rory turned onto this incredibly shallow and selfish version of herself and there is no scenario with Rory having Logan's demon baby that I can ever get on board with. It was the one thing I didn't want to happen and it did. It just tainted everything.

[BL.Arinna_1982]

I don't think Amy knew what she was doing with that revival. Every story line there was handled badly. I won't stop complaining about the short screen time that Jess received. I couldn't recognize Rory's character at all. And I think these two characters should've been the leads of the revival, not Lorelai and Luke.

[ramgirl]

IA I would have liked to see Luke and Lorelai more settled, and in a more stable relationship. Maybe even adopting an older child, I really don't like that they didn't have them explore that option in the revival and that they said that they didn't want to adopt. I get that they needed a way to bring in Paris into the mix but I still would have liked it to be shown that they gave adoption a more serious thought.

I would have liked to see Rory's storyline more of choosing career or settling down and being in one place and committing to a person with going down the path of marriage and kids eventually, or trying to find a way to balance both career and relationship, and ultimately I feel she would have been able to find that happy balance w/ Jess because I think he would support her career and be there for her.

‘Atlanta,’ ‘This Is Us,’ ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Lead TCA Awards Nominations | Variety Really it got nominated for something!? And against other really well done mini series that actually had a story. Different reaction in the This Is Us thread.

[BL.Arinna_1982]

I have the feeling that it only gets nominated, because of the name.

[ramgirl]

I have no idea maybe, but everything else that it was nominated with it was a very well done

[BL.Arinna_1982]

I think he has a soft spot for Jess.
