Speaking with Collider in January 2026, Patterson, 67, described the hardworking Stars Hollow diner owner as strong, dependable, and consistent— as well as a guy who doesn’t take anything from anybody.
For seven seasons, from 2000 to 2007, Patterson’s Luke Danes served up coffee on the original Gilmore Girls series, then returned for the Netflix revival miniseries Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, a decade later. In 2025, the actor embraced the role once again, greeting fans during the Gilmore Girls Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Hollywood on the Luke’s Diner set.
Scott Patterson Thought 'Gilmore Girls' Would Last 5 Years
In October 2025, Patterson celebrated the 25thanniversary of the Gilmore Girls premiere with a tribute on Facebook. “Twenty-five years ago, we injected a coffee IV into the veins of the world, and twenty-five years later, the world can’t get enough,” he wrote.
In the new Collider interview, Patterson admitted that no one could have “imagined” or “envisioned” Gilmore Girls’ longevity. “I remember speculating, year one, how long do you think this is going to go?” the actor recalled. “And I thought five seasons because it's so good, and the competition's really tough. But here we are at 25, and I think we're primed for 25 more.”
