This past year, our crush on Milo Ventimiglia [1] reignited in a really big way. Aside from making us swoon on the hit TV show This Is Us [2], he recently reprised his beloved role as troublemaker Jess Mariano on Netflix's Gilmore Girls [3] reboot, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life [4]. Even though there wasn't much resolution between his character and Rory [5], fans were even more disappointed by those iconic final four words [6]. While we're secretly hoping the series will do another season [7], Ventimiglia doesn't sound so optimistic.
In an interview with Variety, the actor weighed in on whether or not he'd return for more episodes [8]. "If [creators] Dan Palladino or Amy Sherman-Palladino ever called me, of course," he explained. "They are the reason why I show up. Amy created Jess, and I loved speaking her words. But I do kind of feel like audiences shouldn't get so greedy. They were given a last serving of pie — why don't we just leave it at that?" And as far as — spoiler — who is the father of Rory's baby [9], he simply doesn't care. "Let me be real honest: When I worked on the show, that was my present but that's 13 years in the rearview for me now so I don't spend what little free time I have wondering about the baby of a past TV flame." And there you have it, folks!
