The Reigning Lorelai of the Gilmore clan until her untimely death during the original run of the series. She is the true enemy of her daughter in law and practically a stranger to her granddaughter , and great granddaughter. And yet she is particularly close to her son – Richard Gilmore – who refers to her lovingly as ‘Trix’. How big of a bitch is Trix? Well, put this is perspective she makes Emily look mellow.

I’ll be honest if this were a more selective list, this guy would probably not have made the cut off – but that’s not the choice I made, and that’s not the world we live in now. So onward we must go.
Taylor Doose
I’ll be honest I often feel a bit sorry for Taylor Doose – I mean no one in town likes him at all. He looses by a land slide in favour of Jackson – a character who I think so little of that he’s one of the few that actually didn’t make the cut on this very extensive list of characters ; in most towns meetings he’s usually the butt of the joke; and even his own family can’t really hide their contempt for him. And yet, perhaps because of how little people think of hi,, Taylor is actually a man who it’s very dangerous to underestimate. He’s arguably the most powerful man in Stars Hollow – not just from his role as selectmen, but because he basically owns all of it.
And while he usually plays the villain to Lorelai and or Luke’s escapades, when we take a step back we might come to see that in fact, Taylor is not an evil man at his heart. And in fact many of the festivals, and activities he plans for the town are usually intended to make money for the town. To build something for the town. Granted sometimes he’s just doing it to make money for his own business, but we’re a capitalist society since when did that become something we automatically shame. You can’t have it both ways, eventually you gotta pick a lane.
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.
