Kylie Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Adam Brody played Dave Rygalski. He dated Lane for a little while and pretended to be in a Christian band so he could stay close to Lane. I think in the show he moved out of Stars Hollow to go to uni, and so had to leave the band. Amy Sherman-Palladino, Kelly Bishop and Lauren Graham have made some very nice statements about Edward Herrmann: Amy Sherman-Palladino:When we were casting the part of Richard on Gilmore Girls, we all sat around saying, ‘If we could only get Ed Herrmann.’ So we sent the script to his agent who said Ed will come in and meet, but he won’t read. We said fine — great. Set it up. The agent said, ‘But I need you to understand — he will not read.’ We said we get it — no reading. The agent said, ‘He’s Ed Herrmann. He’s worked with Woody Allen! He was in Reds! He will not, under any circumstances, read!’ We were like ‘Hey, if he’ll even sit down and talk to us, we’d be honored.’ So Ed came in. He sat down and said, ‘I like it. It’s funny. Should I read?’ We sat there in stunned silence as Ed opened the script and proceeded to read. And just like that, Richard Gilmore was sitting in front of us. And that’s when I knew this show was charmed… To our patriarch, I thank you. I miss you. And I could never repay you.Kelly Bishop:We, the Gilmore Girls family, are so terribly sad and somewhat stunned. We only learned about his illness a week or so ago. I got a call from [Edward’s wife] Star Monday night asking if I wanted to come to the hospital to say good-bye. I went yesterday and was able to give Ed love from Lauren [Graham], Alexis [bledel] and Amy [sherman-Palladino]… I have so many fond memories of our time together on Gilmore Girls and since, mainly via email. I think everyone who knew or worked with Ed found him to be absolutely delightful… Everything looks a little dim, as if the lights went down.Lauren Graham:Ed Herrmann’s combination of pure charisma plus his distinctive voice lit up any room he entered. He had a gentlemanly manner, a wicked sense of humor, and a sharp wit. He was well-read, interesting, and just plain fun to be around. He had deep respect and love for the craft of acting and led by example. You wanted to be better prepared, or just plain better, because he always was. He brought such humor and humanity to all his work, but I know the character of Richard Gilmore had a special place in his heart. He loved our show and was touched by the enthusiasm of its fans.

BSchultz19 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 ^^^^Ah I see. I really liked Dave and he was so good with Lane. I always wondered why he went to college, kept in touch a little, and then just disappeared. Boo. Those quotes about his death and the impact he had are so touching. Lived a great life and was a great man. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 ^ Yeah, it was so odd when Dave just disappeared one season and nobody really even talked about him until that marriage jug episode. I can't remember what it was, but Kylie told me that they'd written some line about Dave on the show, and it was actually about Adam leaving for the O.C. TV series. I never caught it, but Kylie did and it was funny how they put it in the show. Kylie, do you remember what it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hmm, was I really clever enough to catch that reference? I couldn't quite remember it, so I just looked it up...When they talk about Dave leaving, they mention that he has 'moved to California' (which is where the show The OC is set).

Kylie Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Oh, it was just a reference to California? I thought it was something juicier than that. Oh well My, you're hard to please! If I told you about this particular reference before, then I must have read it somewhere. I really can't believe I would have been paying such close attention that I would have made the connection between The OC and California all by myself! But then again, I've seen every episode of GG about a dozen times (maybe more!) so surely I would have noticed it eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because GG is so great and witty, we've learned to expect really witty stuff You did tell me about it before. It's the only way I knew about it. You probably told it in a very witty way, and so I thought it was something wittier than it actually was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) I was very late getting in Gilmore Girls, the show had finished .

anisia Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Just finished season 1 yesterday with a friend - it's a re-watch, I've seen the entire show a couple of times now. I just love it, always a good combination of drama and comedy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I just love it, always a good combination of drama and comedy! Yes indeed! I could rave on and on about the show. It's just perfect. I can't imagine ever finding another show that I love as much. It's just so clever. And I love that even though I've watched all of the episodes so many times, I still often notice things or pick up references that I never noticed before. It's like a gift that keeps on giving.

BSchultz19 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The thing that amazes me is how Rory has time to watch movies with her mom, go to the diner, go to a prestigious high school (and later college), have friends, AND read all the books she does.

Kylie Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Sookie is hilarious, isn't she? I love it when she rambles. Remember the episode when she has to cook a meal at the Inn for Lorelai's grandmother and parents? They point out that she has a rip in the back of her shirt, and then she goes into this elaborate explanation (with funny actions) of what happened to her in the kitchen. I'm glad to see that she's become very successful since GG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't until I watched 'True Blood', that I realised Todd Lowe who played 'Terry Bellefleur' was also Zack in the Gilmore Girls, also I recognised Dean (Jared Padadlecki) because of 'Supernatural' Edited January 9, 2015 by Weave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I like Todd in True Blood, but I thought he was an odd choice because Terry in the books is a Vietnam veteran, as far as I can recall. I'm not sure if he has the same past in the show, but I'm pretty sure Todd Lowe was born well after the Vietnam War, just like me. He's still really good in True Blood though, and I think they make him look a bit older. I never got past season 3 of True Blood for some reason. I really need to start it all again and watch it through to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to see that she's become very successful since GG. I'm not a particular fan of Sookie's but that scene is epic and so hilarious! I remember once rewinding it three or fours times just to watch it again and again. Comic genius!! That was really funny, I loved her rambling too! It wasn't until I watched 'True Blood', that I realised Todd Lowe who played 'Terry Bellefleur' was also Zack in the Gilmore Girls, also I recognised Dean (Jared Padadlecki) because of 'Supernatural' This Todd Lowe wouldn't happen to be related to Rob Lowe and that other one? Um... Chad Lowe? Edit: Okay went to imdb to check and no, he's not. Edited January 10, 2015 by frankie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I must admit that I already knew most of the facts in the article. But one of the facts I didn't already know led me to discover another interesting fact. As the article mentions, the woman who was hired to design the Dragonfly Inn was a former porn star in real life. I looked her up on IMDB to see what else she had been in (non-porn titles!) and found that she had been in a recent movie called I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell with none other that Logan (Matt Czuchry)!

frankie Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 ^ Did you ever watch The Profiler back in the 90s? (The picture on the imdb link is misleading, because it's with the red head woman who was in the later seasons of the show and not Ally Walker who who was initially the main character.) Traci Lords was in that, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSchultz19 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Reading those facts only made me sad. And a little angry at not knowing how Sherman-Palladino wanted it to end. I always thought the final season was somewhat subpar and that explains why. I hadn't realized that the producer had quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I want so badly to know the four words that Amy had in mind for the characters at the end, but now she's said she'll never reveal the words because she's afraid it's been too hyped up! I don't care if it's not some super-intelligent or witty thing...I just want to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
