Thanks very much, Jazzbee. Bringing it over because sometimes that’s easier:

Quote:

The Gilmore Girls session started off with my frienemy Michael Ausiello and another TCA reporter duking it out to ask the first question. It was quite funny. They both had mics and were talking over each other at the same time. Lauren was going 'Hi Mike, Hi Mike,' not surprised by his enthusiasm. But the other reporter would not back down. Anyway, Ausiello eventually conceded. And he had to settle for Q #2... which was how do you feel about the fan sentiment which is so against the current storyline. He said he's never seen so many angry viewers, etc. Lauren laughed at that. David Rosenthal said Amy certainly left them with a full plate, but that's the stuff of good drama and they're looking forward to having it play out.

Lauren was then asked if she hated last season's Lorelai and if she ever went to Amy and Dan to say 'Stop making Lorelai such a wuss!' She admitted it wasn't her favorite stuff to be dictated to by Luke, and ultimately that is not who Lorelai is, which is why things ended up the way they did. Re: fan anger, she said if everything went the way the fans wanted, I'd just be calling Rory up all the time and asking 'What're you doing tonight?'

David Rosenthal said he is not approaching this as the last season of Gilmore. Just looking to do 22 great episodes. Hopefully it will continue.

Lauren and Alexis were asked about the rumor that they are not interested in returning for another season and the response was actually interesting. It sounds as if Lauren is very excited about the fact that David Rosenthal is running the show very differently than Amy and Dan did. It is more collaborative, allowing her the opportunity to have more input. She said she's read the first script and she loves it. She hopes they have such a great season that it warrants more, but at the same time, she doesn't want to be the actor that she feels sorry for. She's seen lots of actors in the position of being on the show that is ready to end, but it goes on anyway, and she doesn't want that. Also, their legal contracts are up after this season, so we'll see. But she said she wouldn't want to approach these next 22 episodes as if it was the end, because that would mean she didn't support David, and that's not the case. She very much supports David.

She made it clear that yes, so far it seems that the process will be far more collaborative than it was in years past, but if any reporters write anything that makes it sound as if she said something negative about Amy and Dan, she'll be really upset. She said she's a huge fan of Amy and Dan's. They gave her an amazing opportunity and wrote some of her favorite scenes and favorite work, but she is very open to the fact that as good as that was, this new situation could be good too. Amy and Dan ran the show in a very specific way, which was very hands-on and they did everything themselves and wanted everything a certain way. In this new situation, the writing staff is bigger, they are getting scripts ahead of time, and it's going to be different. The tone that Amy and Dan set was very specific, but it's also been established over six seasons and the new writers that David has brought in are coming in as fans, who are very familiar with the tone, really excited and enthusiastic, and there may be room for their new, fresh perspective. Also, she said that she and Alexis are, at this point, very familiar with the characters and have creative input and will know if the tone was off or something wasn't right...

Lauren admitted she is not a fan of working with the dog Paul Anka. She's not into doggy humor, although she loves dogs.

Other interesting facts: Christopher will be back as a semi-regular. There will be new recurring characters, especially since Logan has moved to London and Rory will have to make new friends. Rory and Logan, however, will attempt to have a long-distance relationship.

Oh, and yes, one reporter did ask about David Rosenthal's past (New 'Gilmore Girls' Showrunner Was Heidi Klum's #1 Fan - Defamer) and how that makes him a strange choice to run this female-centric show. He responded by saying his personal life is irrelevant and he wouldn't discuss it. When the reporter persisted, Lauren was very quick to re-iterate "That has nothing to do with anything. Next question."

Hey all

Here's another writers' view of this morning's GG conference (I think he and MA were actually in a little war to ask questions, if you read the full article, heh). Anyway, it's not really spoilerish, just interesting (unless you count the news that Paul Anka (the dog) will definitely be back, lol):

Quote:

At one point, one critic asked about the rumor that Graham can't stand working with the dog that plays Lorelai's neurotic pet, Paul Anka. She copped to it (while expressing a deep fondness for the human Paul Anka), and said she'd rather the dog never appear again. One of the few concrete answers Rosenthal gave was that the dog would, sadly, continue.

In the Scrum with Graham afterwards, Graham was asked about the long-standing rumor that she and co-star Scott Patterson (who plays Luke) don't get along, and whether that had anything to do with the decision to break up Luke and Lorelai.

"I can't kill the dog!" she protested. "What power do you think I have? I don't have any kind of influence on the story like that. I think it is one of those Sam and Diane relationships where, if they're together for too long, the show has to end. So that's not true."

Thjere was fierce debate afterwards about whether the "that's not true" was her debunking the rumor about her disliking Patterson, or just her debunking the rumor that because she dislikes Patterson, she asked Amy to split up the two characters. If the latter, it was as artful a non-answer as I've heard on this tour.

And there's more, here

tazzded · 07-17-2006, 08:49 PM

Thanks Caf. I am predicting a preg scare. It will be Luke's, but they are not together, and lots of drama to follow.

Poor Luke, first he looses the diner and then Lorelai....I hope that Anna gives him a lot of comfort.....

She has the bigger boobs LOL and is the mother to his daughter, why wouldn't he be happy, oh that's right, the *itch kept April from him for 13 years! and he LOVES Lorelai, faults and all!

Oh pul-lease....now I really do think that LG wanted so desperately to go down the L/C road, she killed of L/L....

Don´t get me wrong, I truely adore her, but.....

xmonalpx · 07-17-2006, 08:54 PM

You know what these people need to CORK it. Just deal with their hate. I have to go to school everyday w/ people i hate. deal with it. AND they get paid.

FuzzyCerts · 07-17-2006, 08:58 PM

But thats why we´re here for, to love and hate this show....

And right now, I hate it.

Funny thing, remember what Lorelai said about Nicole and the sock-man...
LORELAI: You know, Luke, I know I've never really been Miss "This-is-great" about your relationship, but I am- I am so, so sorry. You don't deserve this. You really don't deserve this.

No Luke, you really don´t deserve another sock-woman. At least I hope Dopey had "a sock" on......

I really want to see Emilys reaction to this....

OY! with the SP and LG hate again!

But was She calling Scott and dog? Or was she taking about PA and she doesn't like "doggy humor" (holding back on the last scene and any sexual refferences LOL) but it was a weird answer.

Funny thing is, in all interviews SP only says nice things about LG. Why can´t she ???

xmonalpx · 07-17-2006, 09:02 PM

I think LG can get her way with ROSE( NOT DIRTY) I mean since she is a lady, and has the lorelai-esque smile etc.
Storylines and All.

We have to remember not to judge until we see promos.

God I hope so and what ever Lorelai was using was still working since the scare in BB&M.

Yes Luke doesn't deserve this! He loses his fiance, home and business in 24 hours, I hope he still has April and Anna (and her big boobs) to comfort him in his hour of need!

I hope so too......

So much to look forward to, lots of Dopey, no L/L, no diner....I think I´ll turn into a Rory fan...

Ok, off to work, maybe I can calm down there....
