Ever since the Gilmore Girls [1] reboot was confirmed, we have been rabidly following the cast developments. Mae Whitman is on the lineup, Milo Ventimiglia [2] will reprise his role as Jess, and Jared Padalecki (Dean!) is also returning, making us seriously excited to see if Rory ended up with either of them [3]. We already have lots of details about what to expect from the revival [4], but there's still so much we don't know.
