A look at why the proposed Jess Mariano spinoff, 'Wayward Circle', never came to fruition.
Jess Mariano was originally supposed to get his own Gilmore Girls spinoff, but it's for the best that this never happened. Jess is one of the four boyfriends Rory has in Gilmore Girls, and he became a fan-favorite character almost immediately after arriving in the town of Stars Hollow. It's probably no surprise that Luke Dane's nephew charmed viewers nearly as much as Luke himself, even if the two characters rarely agreed on anything.
While most fans concur that Dean was wrong for Rory, Team Jess remains popular — and on par with Team Logan. With Jess being one of Gilmore Girls' best love interests, it's no surprise that Milo Ventimiglia's character almost led a spinoff series. In fact, it was one of two planned Gilmore Girls spinoffs that never came to fruition. Jess' troublesome backstory opened the door for a deeper exploration of him as an individual. He also went in an interesting direction after leaving Stars Hollow, occasionally returning to shake some sense into Rory. It's easy to see how Jess' spinoff could have worked, but it might be a good thing that it didn't pan out. Jess' Proposed Gilmore Girls Spinoff Explained 'Here Comes The Son' Was Supposed To Be A Backdoor Pilot For Wayward Circle Close Many of Jess''bad boy' tendencies stem from his tumultuous relationships with his parents, and in particular, his father. Gilmore Girls characterizes Jimmy Mariano as a deadbeat, but that doesn't stop Jess from seeking out a better relationship with him. In the Gilmore Girls season 3 episode 'Here Comes the Son,' Jess journeys to California to reconnect with Jimmy after a disagreement with Luke. And 'Here Comes the Son' was actually supposed to be the backdoor pilot for the character's spinoff, which would have been called Wayward Circle (via The Paley Center).
