~Things you didn't know about Gilmore Girls~

A few of the things I didn't know about Gilmore Girls until I bumped into one and decided to make a post about it and look up all the other facts.

1.

Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore) doesn't like coffee, so she spent the entire ''Gilmore Girls'' drinking soda, whenever there was a scene where she was supposed to drink coffee.


2.

Alexis Bledel and Milo Ventimiglia (Rory and Jess) dated while playing the show, even when Jess and Rory were not together anymore.



3.

Keiko Agena(Lane Kim) was 25 when she started to play the role of Lane. She was only six years younger than Lauren Graham(Lorelai Gilmore). Also Liza Weil(Paris Geller) was 21 when she started playing Paris and Alexis Bledel was 18 when she played Rory.


4.

Luke's baseball cap wasn't just for show, it is a reference to Scott Patterson's (Luke Danes) earlier career as baseball player.

5.

Luke was actually written as a woman, Daisy, until the producers decided he would be a man. And even then, he wasn't supposed to be a series regular...but would've had a minor role.


6.

Liza Weil (Paris) originally tried out for the role of Rory and was denied, but the producers were so taken with Liza Weil, that they wrote Paris Geller for her instead.

7.

Since it was Alexis' first acting gig, Lauren Graham(Lorelai) noticeably has her arm around Alexis Bledel more often in season one so she could help direct her to the right spots.

8.

Stars Hollow is a real place. It is called Washington Depot and is located near Danbury and Woodbury, both of which are name-dropped. When visiting there, the Palladinos(the producers)were taken with the small-town charm of the place and the fact that patrons at the local diner were able to go behind the counter and serve themselves, as we see Lorelai do in the show. The town also features a town meeting form of government, which might mean that Taylor Doose is a real person.

9.

The Gilmore Girls pilot hired and fired two different Deans before they got to Jared Padalecki(Dean).

10.

The town meetings sometimes took full 20-hour days to film.

11.

Biff Yaeger(Tom) auditioned to play Taylor Doose in the first season. In case you don't know, Tom is the man on the right.

12.

Jared Padalecki (Dean) grew taller in between seasons 1 and 2.


13.

Emily Kuroda is actually quite opposite of her character Mrs Kim. She's really sweet and a computer geek.


14.

Keiko Agena (Lane) took drum lessons so she could actually play in the drum scenes.


That were all I could find and I have to get off the laptop now, so bye!
