As you may have heard, Melissa McCarthy was pretty upset that Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino didn’t invite her back for the recently announced Gilmore Girls reboot, which will consist of four 90-minute episodes on Netflix. Sherman-Palladino initially said that she would love for McCarthy to come back for a cameo, but she knows the actress is incredibly busy. But fans haven’t lost hope, mostly because of this little nugget Sherman-Palladino gave TVLine: “The thing I have said [to her team] is, ‘Look, if Melissa is available and has an afternoon free, I’ll write her a scene…And if it’s a last-minute thing, I would write her in and we would figure it out.’ That’s the way we left it.”
Now we might have some evidence of said cameo! Yanic Truesdale, who plays the fiesty Michel, posted a photo on Instagram of himself and McCarthy having dinner on Saturday night. The beginning of the caption had us really excited, but then we read the rest.
Despite the serious tone of Truesdale’s warning to fans, we are still curious. McCarthy has recently been posting on social media about her time in LA—possibly to film a scene for the reboot?
We think that it’d be amazing if Sookie made an appearance. The inn, if it’s still up and running, wouldn’t feel the same without the greatest chef on the East Coast and Lorelai’s gossip partner! We’d love to see how she and her family are doing after all these years.
