Kelly Bishop as Emily Gilmore of Gilmore Girls
With the release of her memoir, The Third Gilmore Girl, Kelly Bishop has revealed many of her own opinions about Gilmore Girls, in which she played the Gilmore matriarch, Emily. Her thoughts may not all sit right with fans of the series as they include calling the final season of the beloved show"sleepy" and defending the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life revival.
Where Did 'Gilmore Girls' Leave Emily? Gilmore Girls didn't cheat Emily in particular, but there was no important change in her character arc near the end. As Rory graduates from college, Emily and Richard celebrate their granddaughter, and in a touching moment, Emily compliments Lorelai on the life she built in Stars Hollow. Lorelai reciprocates by allowing the Friday night family dinners to continue without the obligation of debt, and their lives go on.
'A Year in the Life' Continues One of Emily's Major 'Gilmore Girls' Storylines Close As Emily deals with the death of her husband in A Year in the Life, her character arc picks up where it left off. In one of Emily's biggest stories in the original series, she struggles to find herself outside her marriage. First, there is the episode where Richard ends up in the hospital, which leaves Emily distraught, forbidding him to die before her.
In A Year in the Life, Richard has passed away, and a reunion is not an option. The revival forces Emily to face her greatest fear, and she grows because of it. Certainly, it is not an easy time for her, but in the end, Emily finds a new life that suits her. Her identity crisis is resolved as Emily leaves Hartford for a simpler life, moving to Nantucket and finding a much more relaxed way to live.
