I'll start:

Lorelei - go NC with your parents, they sound a narcissist / enabler

Rory - stop sleeping with other people's husbands

Lane - sleep when the babies sleep Hmm

Paris - go to therapy to explore your childhood trauma

Lorelai stop being so difficult, appreciate and acknowledge yout privilige. Be kinder to your mother you put her through hell. Sack Sooki that infuriating bitch.

Rory: stop being so annoying.

Lane: focus on your studies

Everybody stop talking so fast.

Luke: easy on the lipstick and eyeliner. Sack your make up slave.

VitreousHumour · 15/12/2020 21:03

Lane - don't have a baby with that manchild
Lorelai, Rory, Sooki - 'kooky' isn't as charming as you think

GCAcademic · 15/12/2020 21:05

Lorelai - grow up, woman, and stop acting like a bratty teenager.

Lorelai - your parents are paying the private school fees so you need to suck it up when it comes to your parents. If you don't want Friday night dinners, send Rory back to Stars Hollow.

Luke - A gf who blows hot and cold is one massive red flag!

Kurt - stick with one job. Having a zillion jobs on your cv is not a good look.

GCAcademic · 15/12/2020 21:07

Mrs Kim - oh, gosh, where to start? (I actually love the character).

TheLifeAndDeathBrigade · 15/12/2020 21:07

Ah there you are GG fans.

I must admit I do find Rory and Lorelei pretty insufferable, but still like the show somehow Hmm

Where's the nutrition advice for Lorelai and Rory? Wink

TicTacTwo · 15/12/2020 21:09

Rory - you picked Logan? 🤦🏻‍♀️

@TicTacTwo

Where's the nutrition advice for Lorelai and Rory? Wink
OMG, yes. How were they not the size of a house and covered in spots with that diet?
MrsTerryPratchett · 15/12/2020 21:11

Sooki LTB

musicinspring1 · 15/12/2020 21:11

Ha! I was going to open my advice with suggestions of fruit and salad for Rory and Lorelei Grin

musicinspring1 · 15/12/2020 21:13

Then pretty much tell Rory that Jesse is the way to go and to concentrate on following her passion as a newspaper journalist or writer away from the Huntzburgers...
Lane - go to music college and get away from Stars Hollow

Furrybootsyecomfy · 15/12/2020 21:14

Lorelei- don’t marry Christopher. He was a jerk then, he’s a jerk now.
Rory- boiz are not the be all and end all. The most tolerable of your exes is a bargain bin Holden Caulfield. Also ditch the Life and Death brigade- that’s a “corpse at the frat party” scandal about to happen.

timetest · 15/12/2020 21:16

Rory, don’t sleep with your ex if he’s now engaged to another.

AppleKatie · 15/12/2020 21:16

Stop wasting so much money on eating out and you’d probably have to accept fewer handouts from your parents.

Lane do some fucking work at school and make an escape plan that isn’t ‘marry a man child and live in poverty with twins and a failing band’.

Rory- have more fun at 16/17/18. Grow up after college- where’s your self respect woman?

MrsLebowski · 15/12/2020 21:18

I hate grown up Rory, only forgiving her after seeing what she went through in Gilead.

TolstoyAteMyHamster · 15/12/2020 21:19

Checking in to say “eat some vegetables” but see I was beaten to it.
Everyone apart from Rory: stop telling her she’s so special and precious. She’s a nice enough kid but most of her bratty behaviour later is a direct result of you all treating her like she’s the second coming.

TolstoyAteMyHamster · 15/12/2020 21:20

Furryboots, I use the Life and Death brigade as a “who not to hang out with at university” conversation starter with DD.

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 15/12/2020 21:22

Just stfu. ALL OF YOU!

JMAngel1 · 15/12/2020 21:22

Loralei, it was Luke, always Luke - open your bloody eyes
Rory, how did it all go so wrong? You had the world at your feet.

TheLifeAndDeathBrigade · 15/12/2020 21:25

Ah what's wrong with Logan? (He reminds me of DH Blush)

And yes, eat some fucking vegetables.

Hotwaterbottlelove · 15/12/2020 21:28

What's right with Logan? Great for a fun shag but other than that he is off putting in every way. He seems to think that privilege is a personality trait.

TheLifeAndDeathBrigade · 15/12/2020 21:30

@Hotwaterbottlelove 🙈

He's very hot
Bit (a lot) arrogant
Good fun

You're right, good for a shag. Luckily DH grew up post university. I haven't watched the new series so no idea what happened to Logan. Must catch up.

Guineapigbridge · 15/12/2020 21:31

All of you, stop talking in that simpering high-tempo voice.

ReindeerAntlerLights · 15/12/2020 21:33

Logan STOLE from rich people's houses he visited and then placed the stolen items in other houses. Emily's was the matchbox.

In my defence I have literally just finished re-watching it. My teenager had never seen it so we binged it.
