Actress Is The Missing Piece

puzzle pieceSOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] If you were a fan of this television show that was popular last decade, you are probably excited that there is going to be limited revival of the show and its characters!

However, one character will be missing. We know why.

While [the producers] would love to have her back, she has become too big a star. Her salary would be more than the entire rest of the cast put together! Producers can’t afford it. However, they are trying to get her to agree to be in just one scene for old time’s sake. They’re even willing to work around her film schedule to do it.

The actress has great respect for the show’s creator, so we hope they are able to work something out… even if it is just a one-scene cameo!

Television Show: Gilmore Girls

Melissa McCarthy WILL join the Gilmore Girls revival after all!

The character she played on the original series, Sookie, is now being written into the limited Netflix series. From Deadline:

Melissa McCarthy Says Yes To ‘Gilmore Girls’ After All

For the last couple of months it’s looked like it wasn’t going to happen, but Melissa McCarthy is returning to Star Hollow after all and will be reprising her role as Sookie on Netflix’s Gilmore Girls revival. McCarthy went public with the news during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to promote her latest comedy pic Boss, explaining that severe scheduling conflicts needed to be dealt with first. “Literally about an hour ago, we figured out that I am gonna go back and do it!”, she said to loud cheers from the crowd.

Isn’t it an amazing coincidence that Melissa McCarthy’s scheduling and money issues were settled exactly one hour before her promotional TV appearance… for her film that opens TODAY?

If you believe that, you probably also believe that George Clooney will be appearing in the Facts of Life revival just for the sentimental value of it all.

Saphron was first with the correct response!

    Some crew members were talking about how they were not counting on her participating because her career is so huge right now.

    [Optional] Will you watch the revival of the show?: Yep, and I won’t miss her. Sookie was annoying. I never watched the show for that character.

  15. redstilettos says

    Why can’t the actress lower her fee for this particular spot? It doesn’t sound like a long term commitment and the way the BI is worded, she’s on good terms with everyone and would like to do it.

    • KWDragon says

      Part of the problem is people, particularly women, frequently find themselves undervalued in the workplace. If she lowers her rates for one project, the studio for her next project will expect a deal. If she does a one-off cameo, she can honor her old show but not set precedent.

    This is Gilmore Girls and Melissa McCarthy not returning.

    Yes I would watch it. I loved it when it was originally on.

    Actress: Jennifer Aniston

    Television Show: Friends

    I will watch the revival, but it’s too bad they couldn’t get a commitment from her for longer. The last I looked, her movies haven’t done so well, so maybe she shouldn’t be so stuck up about it :/

    Yes I will watch the revival! I still watch it on Freeform and Netflix. I really hope she does a cameo.

    But sookie is so important in this show! Ugh, I hope they work something out. I’m binge watching this show right now and I can’t imagine this show without her :/

    Yes, i would watch it only for the opening theme and because i had a major crush on Joshua Jackson.

    I am so there for the revival. I loved that show and any reunion won’t be the same without Sookie, so I hope they work something out, even if it’s juts for once scene!

    Not without Jared Padalecki coming back to reprise his role as Dean.

  61. kimbers says

    Mel McCarthy
    Gilmore girls

    NOT a shocker she’d skip. She kinda sucks now and doesn’t appear to be a fun person. Suki Steakhouse won’t make, or break the show, but wish mccarthy wasnt such a bitch in life.

    Yup I’m watching bc then WB effed me over on that last season!!

  64. TheSalmon says

    Gotta be Gilmore Girls, coming back on Netflix. Melissa McCarthy was so wonderful as Suki long before she became the big star she is today. Hope they find a way to get her back. She seems chill, so maybe it’ll work out.
    And yes, I am eagerly anticipating the redux.

  66. brobdingnagian says

    Mellissa Mcarthy

    Gilmore Girls redo

    Yes, I’ll watch. Hopefully it will have the same snappy witty dialog I loved the first time around!

  68. I Am PunkA says

    Aniston
    Friends

    No. I’m over it.

    By the way, they all made $1M per episode at the end. That is more than Aniston is worth on a film, if they did a short run of 12 episodes. So not buying she would get paid too much. Her box office isn;t that impressive.

  72. mgilsonglass says

    Melissa McCarthy of course.

    Gilmore Girls

    Man, I hope she can work it out. It wouldn’t be the same without her. The other guys don’t really matter, the girls are older and hopefully moved on to new guys… but without Suki is sad.

  75. CrazyEyes says

    Melissa McCartney

    Gilmore Girls.

    I was never really into the show and I am so tired of all those decade old show revivals. But the fans must be ecstatic. It was a very well loved show. So sad “Richard” can’t be a part of it. I always adored him.

    Actress: Melissa McCarthy

    She was an absolute delight on that show, and I hope that she makes an appearance. No clue if I’ll actually watch it, though.

  81. SilentStar says

    Melissa McCarthy
    Gilmore Girls

    Good for her! It’s great to see how far she’s come since that show. She just keeps getting better.

  99. darcy14 says

    Melissa McCarthy
    Gilmore Girls

    No I won’t. I could never get into the show when it first aired, no Matter how many people told me how amazing it was.
