Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… “bad boy” sent from New York to stay with his uncle Luke in Stars Hollow so he can get “straightened out.” Jess is not too happy to be transplanted to a small town high school – but, then again, Jess isn’t too happy just about anywhere. In between time spent with his nose in a book and working at Luke’s diner, Jess has found time to hang out with the cute and smart Rory Gilmore. She has a boyfriend, but that isn’t stopping the sparks flying between Jess and Rory.
Personality… rebellious, smart, and alluring. Jess is troubled, after having grown up in a broken home, and so he has trouble trusting people. He’s known to back-talk to authority figures and push away people who try to help him. But, ultimately, Jess does want people to like him; he just doesn’t know how to let them in. If you can get past Jess’ gruff exterior, you see the funny, quick-witted, and thoughtful guy underneath.

Gilmore Girls is set in Stars Hollow, an idyllic New England town with one traffic light and ton of kooky characters. Lorelei Gilmore is a single mom raising Rory, the daughter she had when she was only 16. She doesn't follow any parenting instruction manuals; she raises Rory as only she could. That means Chinese food-fueled movie marathons and gabbing at the local coffee shop.

Set nearly a decade after the finale of the original series, this revival follows Lorelai, Rory and Emily Gilmore through four seasons of change.
