Here’s a heartwarming moment that’ll make every Gilmore Girls fan smile—Lauren Graham, the beloved Lorelai Gilmore, was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and her on-screen love interest, Scott Patterson (aka Luke Danes), was there to celebrate with her. But here’s where it gets controversial: for years, rumors swirled that the two didn’t get along behind the scenes. So, did this public reunion finally put those rumors to rest? Let’s dive in.
On Friday, October 3, Lauren Graham received her long-overdue star on Hollywood Boulevard, surrounded by friends, family, and fellow Gilmore Girls cast members. Fans were thrilled to see Scott Patterson in attendance, grinning alongside Lauren as they posed for photos. The duo, who played best friends-turned-lovers in the iconic 2000s series, proved that their bond extends beyond Stars Hollow. But it wasn’t just Scott—the event was a mini Gilmore Girls reunion, with Yanic Truesdale (Michel), Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore), and Mae Whitman (Lauren’s Parenthood co-star) also joining the celebration. Notably absent was Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore), though her presence was felt in spirit.
And this is the part most people miss: despite persistent rumors of a feud during and after the show’s run, Lauren has always maintained that her relationship with Scott was ‘totally great,’ even if it was just a professional one. In a 2007 interview with TV Guide, she called the drama ‘overblown,’ and this recent appearance seems to confirm that there’s no bad blood—just two actors who genuinely respect each other. Fast forward nearly 20 years since the series ended (and almost a decade since the Netflix revival A Year in the Life), and their friendship is still going strong.
Scott wasn’t the only one cheering Lauren on. Matt Czuchry, who played Logan—one of Rory’s love interests—was also there, prompting Lauren to joke during her speech, ‘Czuchry is here. [Milo] Ventimiglia, no. [Jared] Padalecki, no. Points for Logan.’ Bold statement alert: This playful jab reignited the never-ending debate among fans: Team Logan, Team Jess, or Team Dean? (Let’s be honest, we all know Jess is the right answer.) Lauren, ever the diplomat, added, ‘Um, just points. Just points. It’s an ongoing system… It isn’t done yet!’
The event wasn’t just about the cast—fans showed up in droves to support Lauren, and she thanked them for their unwavering love. ‘I’m so moved when you come up to me—usually at the airport bathroom,’ she laughed, ‘and tell me how much the show has meant to you.’ Her star on the Walk of Fame is a testament to her impact on television, with producer Ana Martinez praising her ‘charm, wit, and talent’ and her ‘indelible mark on television history.’
So, what do you think? Does this reunion finally put the Lauren-Scott feud rumors to bed, or is there still room for speculation? And while we’re at it, let’s settle this once and for all: Team Jess, Logan, or Dean? Sound off in the comments—we want to hear your take!
