Although Rory’s romantic relationships with Jess and Logan had a profound impact on her character arc, there is a good reason that neither of her endings from Gilmore Girls or A Year in the Life focused on them. The entire cast of Gilmore Girlshad important roles to play in the cult dramedy’s success, but no one was more central to the show than Kelly Bishop’s Emily, Lauren Graham’s Lorelai, and Alexis Bledel’s Rory. The three titular Gilmore girls may have struggled to see eye to eye sometimes, but they were the show’s multi-generational heroines.
