<p id=”par-1_43″>For the actors who spent years playing some of <em><a href=”http://cheatsheet.com/tag/gilmore-girls”>Gilmore Girls</a></em>‘ most beloved characters, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/gilmore-girls-a-year-in-the-life-2-could-the-stars-be-aligning-for-a-second-revival.html/”>the stars are aligning </a>more than ever. <em>Gilmore Girls</em> wrapped its original run in 2007, but the actors from the series are forever tied to their iconic roles. </p>
<p id=”par-2_44″>They maintain relationships with each other off-screen years after they wrapped up the series, too. Over the last several months, actors from the beloved show have been reconnecting both on-screen and off. We’ve collected all of the times they seemed to reconnect in 2024.</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-lauren-graham-was-on-hand-to-support-kelly-bishop”>Lauren Graham was on hand to support Kelly Bishop</h2>
<p id=”par-3_44″>Life has taken the stars of <em>Gilmore Girls</em> in very different directions, but they still support each other when needed. Lauren Graham did just that in September. She appeared as a surprise moderator for a discussion about <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/kelly-bishops-upcoming-memoir-the-third-gilmore-girls-will-be-released-in-the-fall.html/”>Kelly Bishop’s memoir, <em>The Third Gilmore Girl</em>.</a></p>
<p id=”par-4_68″>Bishop announced Graham as a surprise guest during the 92NY event, much to the delight of fans who turned out to hear Bishop discuss her life and acting career. During the event, Graham and Bishop remembered their time playing on-screen family members. Bishop portrayed Lorelai Gilmore’s mother, Emily Gilmore, for all seven seasons. But unlike Emily and Lorelai Gilmore, Bishop and Graham always appear to be in sync.</p>

<p id=”par-5_58″>In late November, Graham, Scott Patterson, and Sean Gunn kicked the rumor mill into high gear when they all took to Instagram to post about <em>Gilmore Girls</em>. While fans didn’t get the revival they hoped for, they saw the three reconnect in Stars Hollow for <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/gilmore-girls-walmart-ad-has-given-rise-to-theories-about-rory-gilmores-baby.html/”>a Walmart commercial</a>. The trio reprised their roles for the 30-second holiday advertisement.</p>

<p id=”par-6_49″>Graham famously played Lorelai Gilmore in the much-discussed ad. Scott Patterson portrayed Lorelai’s love interest, Luke Danes. Sean Gunn is best known for playing Stars Hollow’s most eccentric citizen, Kirk Gleason. He appeared as Kirk in the commercial, too. All three reprised their roles in the 2016 Netflix revival.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-lauren-graham-and-danny-strong-posted-a-picture-together”>Lauren Graham and Danny Strong posted a picture together</h2>
<p id=”par-7_73″>Lauren Graham and Kelly Bishop planned their New York City meetup, and obviously, the Walmart commercial was planned, too. A different, more impromptu reunion happened earlier this month, though. This week, Danny Strong took to <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DDpVJ6JxTR7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram </a>to share a selfie with Graham. Strong revealed that he and Graham had run into each other and took a few minutes to snap a photo. He did not reveal where they happened to see each other.</p>

‘Gilmore Girls’ Is Now on Hulu, but How Long Is It Staying? </a>

<p id=”par-8_47″>Strong played <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/3-unpopular-gilmore-girls-opinions-we-almost-afraid-share.html/”>Doyle McMasters</a>, Rory Gilmore’s editor and Paris Geller’s longtime love, in the iconic series. He returned to reprise his role in <em>Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life</em>. While Graham and Strong didn’t have many scenes together, it looks like the actors have remained friendly.</p>
<p id=”par-9_46″>While it was nice to see Strong and Graham spending some time together, it would be better to see them together on a Warner Bros. set. While a second revival season has never been announced, hopefully Amy Sherman-Palladino has at least one more story to tell.</p>
