Alexis Bledel: "It Was an Organic Ending for Rory"
Finally, the interview we've been waiting for: Alexis Bledel talked to TV Guide about leaving Rory behind and her new movie. While Alexis isn't as candid as costar Lauren Graham about the details of why Gilmore ended, she still seems happy with the conclusion and what Rory's up to now.
Some highlights:
On why it was important to her that Rory ended up single: "I felt pretty strongly that I wanted my character to finish up somewhere that we would have liked to see her finish when the whole story started, because she was so driven and academic and I wanted to return to that in some ways."
On ending the show now instead of later: "For it to end this way felt good to me, because I think we would have been trying to come up with things if we had done more [episodes]."
What do you think of Alexis's comments? Will you be checking out her new flick, I'm Reed Fish (with Jay Baruchel from Just Legal!)? Read the full interview and tell us what you think!
Alexis Bledel -- and Rory -- have come a long way, style-wise, since the early days of Gilmore Girls. Remember when Rory was more into jeans and sweaters than Birkin bags and Marc Jacobs jackets? She's gone from collegiate prep to girly-girly in just a few seasons.
