Question: Any scoop on Gilmore Girls? ? Eliza
Ausiello: Brace yourself: Christopher's coming back. No lie. Although Amy Sherman-Palladino initially said there were no plans to bring him back this season, sources confirm that the perpetual spoiler in the Lorelai-Luke romance resurfaces in the Nov. 22 episode after Lorelai gets a surprise call from him. Coincidentally, that's the same episode we meet a mysterious 10-year-old girl who, I'm told, will turn a certain Stars Hollow resident's life upside down. Rumor has it ? MAJOR SPOILER ALERT ? someone whose name rhymes with Duke may have a long-lost daughter. (That noise you hear is thousands of Gilmore fans organizing a protest outside ASP's house.)
Question: Love, love, loved the verbal a** kicking Emily gave Logan's mom on last Tuesday's Gilmore Girls. It just proves once again the brilliance behind that show. ? Danielle
Ausiello: I knew you guys were going to eat that up. And not to take anything away from Kelly Bishop's sublime delivery, but major props must go out to Dan Palladino for scripting the classic smack-down. In case you missed any of it, I'm posting the entire monologue here. Feel free to commit it to memory and then recite it to the raging b***h in your life:
EMILY: Ah, yes. Well, let me tell you this, Shira ? we are just as good as you. You don't think Rory is good enough for your son? As if we don't know Logan's reputation? We do. But he is welcome in our home anytime, and you should extend the same courtesy to Rory.? Now, let's talk about "your" money. You were a two-bit gold digger, fresh off the bus from Hicksville, when you met Mitchum at whatever bar you happened to stumble into. And what made Mitchum decide to choose you to marry amongst the pack of women he was bedding at the time, I'll never know, but hats off to you for bagging him. He's still a playboy, you know. Well, of course you know. That would explain why your weight goes up and down 30 lbs. every other month, but that's your cross to bear. But these are ugly realities. No one needs to talk about them. Those kids are staying together as long as they like. You won't stop them. Now enjoy the event.
Question: You have to give me some scoop on this mystery man coming to Gilmore Girls to complicate things for Luke and Lorelai! ? Lynn
Ausiello: I'm told that story line has been put on hold in light of that 10-year-old complication I teased earlier.
Question: Is Jess going to be the one to get Rory to go back to Yale on Gilmore Girls? ? Michelle
Ausiello: (SPOILER ALERT) No, that little mission falls on former Secretary of State Madeline Albright's capable shoulders.
