"TV Couples We Wish Never Got Together" - Lorelai and Christopher

[JamesG]

One of the best The CW shows of all time was "Gilmore Girls", which chronicled single mother Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) raising her teenage daughter, Rory (Alexis Bledel).

As Rory experienced her first serious relationships for the first time, Lorelai dated a line of boyfriends during the series' seven-season run. Lorelai's biggest love interest on the show was Luke Danes (Scott Patterson), with Lorelai proposing to him in the fifth season.

But after their wedding was delayed by the surprise arrival of Luke's adolescent daughter, Lorelai eventually begged Luke to elope; when he refused, she impulsively broke up with him, resumed dating Rory's father, Christopher Hayden (David Sutcliffe), and eloped with Christopher in Paris.




While no character on "Gilmore Girls" was immune to making reckless decisions with disastrous consequences, these choices felt particularly out of character for Lorelai.

Breaking up with Luke was one thing, but the protracted series of events leading to Lorelai marrying Christopher felt forced every step of the way.




The revival series "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" quietly brushed most of the final season's events under the carpet, barely making reference to them.

Though Christopher briefly resurfaced on "A Year in the Life", Lorelai was happily with Luke for the limited reunion series.
