What Ho, Wee Readers and welcome to my newest Blog series The Wee Writing Lassie’s Top Fourteen Odd Characters from Gilmore Girls. Can anyone tell what franchise I’m currently fixated on? Okay, most of you will probably already know how this goes by now – for the next thirteen days I will release one blog post a day, and at the end of the month I will reveal my top choice in my newsletter. I would recommend signing up to that now, to not be left hanging on that front. This series is a little longer than my usual stuff, mainly because there were so many characters to choose from and I didn’t really see the point of limiting myself to just seven.

In fact, I actually split the original planned blog series into three separate series’s – which is why you will not be seeing the likes of a Lorelai Gilmore or a Luke Danes on this particular blog series, as they’ve made it into their own lists respectively. So if you don’t see a character you think should have a place on this list, don’t panic – there’s still a chance they’re showing up later, just not in this month’s series.

With that out of the way, let’s all breath deeply and dive on it.

Sophie Bloom

We’re starting our delve into the weird and wacky world of Gilmore Girls with a very minor character. Her name is Sophie Bloom and she owns the local music shop. Beyond her occasional interaction with Lane and the other members of Hep Alien, there’s really not a whole much to say about her. Which is probably why she’s so low down on this list. In fact she may not have made it at all if it wasn’t for the woman she’s played by – may I introduce you to Carole King. Singer and Songwriter behind the Gilmore Girls Theme song, ‘Where you Lead’. Which when you listen to it after you’ve watched the revival and heard those promised ‘four last words’, starts to sound almost like a direct inspiration for the show.
