“You’d think she was on the show a whole lot more for how much they talked about her,” Mädchen Amick says of Christopher’s ex-fiancée Sherry Tinsdale, who only appeared in three episodes (2002–03).

But here’s something you probably didn’t know when you watched Lorelai and Sherry’s awkward first meeting: “I actually got really far in the testing process and almost got the part of Lorelai,” Amick says. “But the network said I didn’t seem old enough to be a mother, which I had thought was kind of the whole point. Either way, it was really cool that Amy [Sherman-Palladino] brought me back in for this part.”
