Ever since the Gilmore Girls revival was announced, there has been much back and forth about whether or not Melissa McCarthy would be returning to the show. Sadly, it looks like Melissa is finally confirming that it’s just not going to happen. *insert sad face emoji*
In an interview with E!, Melissa explains, “I didn’t actually get asked to do it. But I think they thought I was busy, and then by the time it did come up, then I actually was.”
So basically this is the worst news ever. What is Gilmore Girls without Lorelai and Sookie? Or Sookie and Jackson? Pretty much nothing. Don’t get us wrong—it is still the best show in the world, but we are dying for Sookie to get back in the mix!
But we guess it’s fine—Melissa mentions in the interview that she is “actually thrilled that it’s happening” and that she “was proud of that show.” Who wouldn’t be proud of Stars Hollow?
So even though there will be no Sookie in the revival, you can always watch those seven seasons of magic that came before it. Binge-watch away!
