One Forgotten A Year In The Life Character Highlights How Different Gilmore Girls' Revival Was (& Not Just For Rory)

While A Year In the Life’s Paul was mostly forgotten after his brief role in the Gilmore Girls revival, the very fact that he was so forgettable highlights a major issue with the miniseries. The entire cast of Gilmore Girls was great, but Alexis Bledel’s Rory was one of the show's most important characters. Viewers followed Rory through the perilous terrain of high school and college, seeing her grow from an idealized teen overachiever into a more believably rounded, but still kind and ambitious, young adult.
