Actor Scott Patterson, who famously played Gilmore Girlscharacter Luke Danes, got candid about the beloved show's ending after its 7th season in 2007.
In an October 2025 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Patterson shared that he and his castmates were pleased to have the opportunity to reprise their Gilmore Girls characters in the 2016 four-episode Netflix revival, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. He explained that the original series had an abrupt end, meaning the show's stars didn't get closure.
"We just drank it up [getting to reunite for the minseries] because when [the original show] ended in 2007, we were all scattered to the four corners of the earth," said Patterson during the interview. "I was on a movie set in Toronto when I got a call from my manager saying it was all over, and other people found out in similar ways. And nobody got closure. We didn’t get to say goodbye. So there was no real ending and this was a way to do it right, if in fact it was going to be the last one, which I don’t think it will be."
In addition, Patterson expressed gratitude for his role as the grumpy diner owner.
"It’s the great role of my life. It doesn’t matter what I do the rest of my career, nothing’s gonna match that. I know it, fans know it, I embrace it, and it’s a miracle that lightning ever struck once, right? And when it does, man, grab it, cause it ain’t gonna happen again. I’m just very grateful," said Patterson to The Hollywood Reporter.

In addition, he said he thinks viewers liked that Luke had feelings for Lorelai "for so long before they got together." Patterson also noted that Lorelai and Luke didn't kiss until the show's fourth season. The actor shared that he thought it was a smart move for the show's creators, Amy Sherman-Palladinoand Dan Palladino, to "draw [the romance] out for so long," despite the characters' obvious chemistry.
