The Wee Writing Lassie’s Top Fourteen Odd Characters from Gilmore Girls: The Wee Mailing List

Hey, just a brief reminder to sign up for the Wee Mailing List before the end of the month, to discover who the top Odd Character from Gilmore Girls really is.

As I’ve done before that post will be published on the Mailing List first. And while I will no doubt be posting it on the blog eventually under the Wee Archive Banner – there’s no solid date for that. I usually do Wee Archives when I’m either working on a very long and involved piece, or a new short blog series to give myself some time to write without going too long without posting anything. But since I’ve been getting much better with writing my posts in advance, at least lately – no Wee Archives have been planned anytime soon.

So if you’ve enjoyed the rest of this series, and are eager to see how it finishes – don’t wait around for months, sign up to the Wee Mailing List today.

If you’ve enjoyed this wee post remember to follow the Wee Blog if you haven’t already. Also check me out on X, Goodreads, Instagram, Mastodon, Threads, Pinterest, Tumblr, Spotify, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Kofi. And remember to subscribe to the Wee Mailing List before the end of the month to discover the Top Odd Character of Gilmore Girls. Until next time, stay safe and have an excellent day.

The Wee Writing Lassie’s Top Fourteen Odd Characters from Gilmore Girls: The Second Character

Everyone shut up … best character is choosing to speak to you. Well Second best, but you get the joke.

Michel Gerard

The proud bearer of the titles of Only Foreigner, Only Black Man, and Only Gay Man in Stars Hollow. Michel is without a doubt one the funniest characters in the show, and one of the very few not in thrall to the Gilmore charm. While by the end he is is firmly a friend of Lorelai, I’m pretty sure he either hates or is so deeply indifferent to Rory that she’s incapable of pulling her usual crap over him.

Granted he’s apathetic to most things, so we rarely get to see this in action – but I still hold close to my heart the moment he flipped out at – collage age – Rory for using his post-it notes and messing up his system for checking people in to the Dragonfly Inn. She was flummoxed at being called out on anything, and had to have her mother step in reign in Michel. It was awesome. *dreamy sigh* If only there were more scenes like that, he might have even made the top spot.

Holy Cow that’s Sebastian Bach!

Gil

I think Cool doesn’t begin to describe the replacement Second guitarists for Hep Alien. Older than the rest of the band by a significant margin- he actually has a wife and kids, and while they’re still trying to live the wild and free rocker lifestyle – his launches into all their songs with the kind of enthusiasm the others can only dream of. Plus, erm … should it really be said how hot he is. Yeah I’m going to anyway because … wow … just wow.

The Wee Writing Lassie’s Top Fourteen Odd Characters from Gilmore Girls: The Fourth Character

Behold, the best candidate for Colin McRae’s hypothetical boyfriend. Yes, I do absolutely feel comfortable putting him this high on the list, why do you ask?

Finn

Finn’s a scream – every scene he’s in is made both better and funnier by his existence. Whether he’s stealing pigs or bailing Logan out of prison, Finn is a delight. Like Colin before him, he really needed a bigger part in the series and I say what better way to give him that then letting him be Gay. There are so many stories we could tell with that.

This man should have been Gay! Fight me on it.

Colin McRae

Yes, you heard me. While I love Colin already, with his sly wit and come the revival penchant for randomly buying the establishments he visits, but I am here today to make a strong argument … okay an argument … that he would have been better if they’d written him gay. And given him more screen time, but that should go without saying.

The Wee Writing Lassie’s Top Fourteen Odd Characters from Gilmore Girls: The Sixth Character

Behold the only normal human being in the land of Stars Hollow.

Tom

I’ve just realised I’ve placed this poor guy really high up on my list considering how minor of a character he actually is. If there’s a constructive project, whether on Lorelai’s house or the Dragonfly Inn – odds are this guy is going to be in charge. He’s a professional, with a dry sense of humour and seemingly endless pools of patience for the wackiness he’s forced to endure by his many employers.

The Wee Writing Lassie’s Top Fourteen Odd Characters from Gilmore Girls: The Seventh Character

Behold the very first Rory Gilmore hater.

Headmaster Hamlin Charlseton

Okay, maybe hater is a bit of a strong word – but it was clear from his first appearance that Headmaster Charlseton was not here to cater to the whims of a spoiled New England Teenager. He was here to run his prestigious prep school, and if Rory couldn’t keep up with the expected work load that was her problem. In the revival he’s somewhat softened towards her – although that could be because he’s no longer speaking with a current student of his school, who he’s trying to push towards excellence, but rather an adult who might need a helping hand from a friend of her family. Although even taking that into account, it’s a pretty generous offer he extends to her. To teach at his school at any position she wants, and all she would have to do is go back to school and get her Masters first. Makes it all the more galling when Rory turns her ugly little nose up at it, and dares to complain to poor Jess about how it proves she’s got the stink of failure around her. Yeah, you do Rory – maybe you want to stop complaining and do something about that.

The Wee Writing Lassie’s Top Fourteen Odd Characters from Gilmore Girls: The Eighth Character

Holy crap, is that Jane from Breaking Bad?

Lucy

Introduced in the unfairly bashed Season 7 Lucy is rare in the Yale cast, in that instead of being hyper competitive academic, or rich layabout with no ambition at all she puts all of her considerable passion into the performing arts. It’s a nice change of pace, espionage as she actually seems to be enjoying her life without ridiculous amounts of alcohol pumping round her system. I’d say it’s a shame we didn’t get to see her in the rival, but then again that was so atrocious that maybe it’s actually blessing.

The Wee Writing Lassie’s Top Fourteen Odd Characters from Gilmore Girls: The Nineth Character

It may not seem like it at first, but Mrs Kim is kind of awesome.

Mrs. Kim

The strict, Uber Christian, rock and roll banning mother of the best friend of the second main character is not someone you would ever think of as being totally awesome, but that’s Gilmore Girls for you. Even the most tired, or over used character archetype is breathed fresh life into. Granted when she first steps onto the scene she is not cool or awesome at all, in fact her strict control of Lane could even be called abusive. And it’s not until Lane is kicked out of the house, and moves in with her bandmates that Mrs Kim is forced to grapple with the idea that if she doesn’t bend just a little, she will lose her daughter for good.

She doesn’t become nice, but over the course of the later seasons of Gilmore Girls she dose start to show support to her daughter and the things and people that are important to her in her own pushy, demanding way. The biggest one being when she arranges tour for her daughter’s band round different churches when it looks like they’re flagging and losing momentum. Pretty big leap from throwing said same daughter out of your house for just liking the wrong kind of music. Let’s hear it for character growth.

The Wee Writing Lassie’s Top Fourteen Odd Characters from Gilmore Girls: The Tenth Character

My favourite Patty moment is when, not two seconds after meeting him, Patty hits on Richard.

Miss Patty

The Dance Teacher of Stars Hollow, much like Taylor Patty seems to be involved in a surprising amount of Town meetings and events. Grants that’s probably mostly because they use her Dance School to host the Town Meetings, but still. Given her saucy, and sometimes outrageous attitude you’d think she and Taylor would have absolutely nothing in common. But that just goes to show, you can’t always judge the Dance Teacher by her sex obsession.
