Where the Gilmore Girls [1] cast lead, we will follow — and that includes geeking out over cast reunions! The cast of the show have reunited a few times for official projects, such as a reunion panel or the Netflix revival, but many of them have stayed in touch over the years and sometimes share a few candid pictures or surprise video [2]s on social media, just for fans.
Several of the main cast members, including the actual "Gilmore girls" [3] Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel, aren't really on social media these days, but others still maintain a presence, talk about their characters, and seem to enjoy gracing fans with the occasional surprise reunion! Here are just a few times the Gilmore cast have made us smile with sweet pics reminding us of just how great this cast always was.
