DISQUS

I don't think Alexis not wanting to sign for another season can be seen as selfish in any way. I remember some rumours in the past about how Sarah Michelle Gellar didn't want to be Buffy anymore and also how Jennifer Aniston didn't want to sign for one more season of Friends. And I never felt like they were selfish. Those are their personal lives after all. Fans rant for a while, but then get over it and move to another show.

RE: "seeing how strangely season [seven] went, maybe she got sick of the bad writing"

That's something I have thought. Alexis Bledel is a very private person and, as was said in some interviews, she is also very shy. So I see her refusal to stay in the show as her silent way to show her dislike of the writing. Her character - Rory - has been very badly written and what some critics have been saying about her are a prove that, aside money, Gilmore Girls has nothing more to offer her.

RE: "I think the worst of all possible outcomes, would be season eight with no Alexis Bledel. I read some rumor they might try to do the show without her."

I read that too. But I wonder if Lauren Graham isn't sick of the bad writing too.

I agree the show is not the same anymore. So if Gilmore Girls get canceled, I honestly won't be crying nor pulling out my hair.

I may be part of a rare group, but I'm a fan of Alexis Bledel and wish her to be happy in whatever she wants to be or to do in her life. She fulfilled her contract with GG and it's note her fault if first the Paladinos and now David Rosenthal decided to crap the show for Luke and Lorelai fans. And if she ends up being responsible for putting a cap in this travesty of a once great show, I'll be more than grateful to her.
