Yeah it is kinda like 50 first dates but I'm kinda interested to seeing the guy be the one who can't remember.

Alexis Bledel on a '50 Shades of Grey' future, 'Gilmore Girls' past - no 'Bunheads' present

Alexis Bledel has no plans to join the parade of "Gilmore Girls" veterans turning up on "Bunheads."

Amy Sherman-Palladino is the creator-producer of both series, a likely reason behind regular and recent appearances by such "Gilmore" alums as Kelly Bishop ("Emily Gilmore"), Liza Weil ("Paris"), Gregg Henry ("Mitchum Huntzberger"), Chris Eigeman ("Digger"), Rose Abdoo ("Gypsy") and Sean Gunn ("Kirk") on the current ABC Family series airing Mondays.

Though former "Rory Gilmore" Bledel reports there isn't consideration of her joining that list for "Bunheads," at least at present, she maintains that isn't for any lack of affection for her "Gilmore" years.

"When I look back on that time, I'm so appreciative of all that show taught me and made possible for me," she tells Zap2It. "I love all the people I worked with." They include Melissa McCarthy, who was Sookie in the "Gilmore" world. "I'm so happy for her," Bledel says. "She's so talented, it's only right that she have these incredible years she's having. I'm excited to see what else she does."

As for her possible involvement in a "Gilmore Girls" reunion special if it ever happens, Bledel reflects, "I don't know. I try to live in the moment and look forward. I think it would feel like going backward, creatively, to try to reimagine or reignite something that was so real to me at that time. Now, I'm sort of focused on what feels new and different, and what else I can do."

One such venture is AMC's "Mad Men," on which Bledel guest-starred last season as a married woman involved with Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser, Bledel's real-life beau). Another is "Remember Sunday," a "Hallmark Hall of Fame" drama ABC airs Sunday, April 21; it casts Bledel as a waitress in love with a jeweler (Zachary Levi, "Chuck") whose brain aneurysm makes him forget what happened the previous day, resulting in a sort of serious "50 First Dates."

Another possible role for Bledel is one she hasn't been offered formally, though many fans are lobbying via the Internet for her to get it: heroine Anastasia "Ana" Steele in the screen version of "Fifty Shades of Grey," E.L. James' famously racy best seller.

Asked if she has thought about that, Bledel responds with an audible twinkle, "Certainly. And everyone in my life has asked me about it, because once something's online, a lot of people consider it to be factual in some way. I've had to have conversations about it with pretty much everyone at one point or another, but I don't think the script is even finished yet."

Thanks for the article. I still don't want her to be in that movie so I hope she's not considering it.

lancer1993 · 02-21-2013, 05:58 PM

Thanks for that, I agree and I think it's all fan hype.
Love Alexis but I think they'd want a bigger name for the part.

**pink velvet** · 02-22-2013, 10:00 AM

I can't see her actually having that part

can you imagine though?

flightless♥bird · 02-22-2013, 04:54 PM

I can't, Rae

I don't know if I want her take that role either though

A celeb sighting w/ an interview...

Celebrity Sighting: Alexis Bledel | The Daily Quirk

@ Alexis Bledel: Not much, I’m looking for a new show. Just reading scripts and trying to find a regular show.

Well if this was really that accurate & genuine, its good that she's now actually considering going back to TV... and if ever something would materialize; its so not from 'CW'!

Actually I can imagine that. But I agree, it's unlikely that they'll even consider her.

I like that Alexis has been doing a few movies and laying low for the most part since GG, but it would be good if she could get onto a new (good) TV show. I understand this is the pilot season where pilots for new shows are taped in the hope to get a series.

If she's doing a TV show I hope it's on HBO. But in all likelihood it'll be CW. Kristin Kreuk returned to the network so may Alexis.

**pink velvet** · 02-24-2013, 06:52 AM

I would LOVE if Alexis became part of a show and I could see her on a weekly basis

anettbianka · 02-25-2013, 08:48 AM

That would be our dream come true.

**pink velvet** · 02-25-2013, 11:54 AM

omg I hope she finds a good script! knowing that she is looking is such a tease.

glamrock · 02-26-2013, 02:57 AM

Both Lauren G. & Melissa M. already find another TV success on another network (Parenthood fr. NBC & Mike & Molly fr. CBS) or even Amy Palladino w/ Bunheads fr. ABC, hopefully Alexis could follow suit; ImhO, If Alexis is looking for a quality & or even a decent ratings for a TV show, I don’t think CW could provide her those stuff - just look at their ^latest^ line-up of TV shows; 80-90% of them were always posted on the 'TV By The Numbers’ Cancellation Bear' – just saying…

**pink velvet** · 02-26-2013, 11:53 AM

I don't watch the CW anymore so....

yeah

I'd actually love if she was on a cable network show.
