It was under controversial circumstances when "Gilmore Girls" ended in the late aughts. Executive producers Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband, Daniel Palladino, left before Season 7 due to contract disputes (via Entertainment Weekly). The final season of "Gilmore Girls" lacked the spark and panache from its creator, leaving many loose ends. There was always room to end it as intended, and in 2016, the time finally came. Liz Torres was just one of many fan-favorite recurring characters to appear in the revival, something that came as a shock to the actor.
"I had mourned Ms. Patty, and I had mourned 'Gilmore Girls' for these eight years. When I'm finally accepting that I'm not going to be Ms. Patty anymore (because I loved the character and it was so much fun) all of a sudden [like Al Pacino] 'they bring me back in ...'" Torres joked. Though not a large presence in the revival, it reunited Torres with an old friend.
"I saw Sally [Struthers] was there, and we are like Martin and Lewis/Abbott and Costello — the old-time vaudevillians. I had such a good time with her," Torres recalled. There is no news yet if the show will continue, despite all the unanswered questions. But if you ask Torres, she would have no hesitation.
"I would sign up in a second! I love it! It's one of the my most favorite projects that I've ever done."
