Kelly Bishop Thinks Rory Gilmore Belonged with Logan Huntzberger

Over the years, Gilmore Girls fans have debated which love interest was the best fit for Rory Gilmore. While several cast members have offered their thoughts, Alexis Bledel, the actor who portrayed Rory Gilmore, has opted to remain neutral. Kelly Bishop, the actor who portrayed Emily Gilmore, refuses to stay impartial. Recently, Bishop revealed that she’s on Team Logan Huntzberger.

Emly Gilmore believes Logan Huntzberger was the one for Rory Gilmore

If you’ve ever wondered which of Rory Gilmolre’s suitors her grandmother liked the best, you don’t have to wonder any longer. Kelly Bishop recently sat down for an interview ahead of the release of her memoir The Third Gilmore Girl. During the chat with Gallery Books, her publisher, Bishop, was asked what “team” she was on. The octogenarian was quick to answer, insisting she was on Team Logan because he reminded her of an old movie star.

While Bishop is decidedly Team Logan Huntzberger, she has nothing bad to say about the other men in her fictional granddaughter’s life. In the clip, Bishop insisted that she really likes “the other two,” meaning Dean Forrester, portrayed by Jared Padalecki, and Jess Mariano, played by Milo Ventimiglia, as well, but always had a soft spot for Logan.

Other ‘Gilmore Girls’ cast members have taken sides, too

Bishop didn’t point it out, but it’s clear to Gilmore Girls fans that she might have an affinity for Logan because she appeared in the most scenes with him. Dean and Jess were significant love interests for Rory. Still, they largely stayed in Stars Hollow, away from Richard and Emily Gilmore’s Hartford base. Logan, Rory’s college beau, was more deeply connected to the Gilmores’ upper-crust world and spent more time around them.

Other actors appear to be attached to different characters for similar reasons. Scott Patterson, the actor who portrayed Luke Danes in the series, has been outspoken about being on Team Jess. Jess was Rory’s high school bad boy and Luke’s nephew. Because the characters were biologically linked, they had a lot of scenes together. Patterson’s scenes with Padealecki were limited. His time spent on screen with Matt Czuchry, the actor who played Logan, was almost non-existent.

Interestingly enough, Ventimiglia is on Team Dean, while Padalecki thinks Rory and Jess were the endgame couple of the series. Czuchry has been much more neutral, insisting that he believes all of Rory’s boyfriends had strengths and weaknesses.
