Gilmore Girlswould have been a very different series if it had stuck to its original plan, as it would've been missing its best story. There are many compelling reasons to watch Gilmore Girls, from Lorelai and Rory's mother-daughter dynamic to the small-town charm of Stars Hollow. However, there's one specific storyline that kept many viewers tuning in when the show was on air: the "will they, won't they" romance between Lorelai and Luke Danes.
