The ‘Gilmore Girls’ Revival News & Updates: Carolyn Hennesy Casted As DAR member
Fans of "Gilmore Girls" only have to wait for two months to get a glimpse of the revival on Netflix. As the premiere gets closer, more news and a sprinkle of spoilers from fans are coming out. There are also talks about the lineup of new and old casts that are joining in.
Variety confirmed on Thursday that Carolyn Hennesy (True Blood, General Hospital) will be joining the "Gilmore Girls" Revival to play the role of Toni, a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).
The description says that in the story plot, Toni has been working in the club with Emily Gilmore (Kelly Bishop) for years. Hennesy is also described as someone who likes to keep things in order and dislikes dissension. It was not indicated, though, what her role with Emily will be when "Gilmore Girls" Revival airs.
Hennesy's involvement in the "Gilmore Girls" Revival may have to do with Rory being with DAR since she left Yale. Cinema Blend released a spoiler that the series might bring one of its best side plots involving the girls of DAR.
Rory reportedly dedicated her whole life for DAR after she was told by influential newspaper personality Mitchum Huntzberger (Gregg Henry) that she is not cut out for the business while still studying at Yale. This is where she decided to live with her grandparents and leave school for good and it would be seen in "Gilmore Girls" Revival airs on the small screens.
This is one of the "Gilmore Girls" interesting plots in Season 6. Fans were confused why Rory threw herself into the upper class norms and activities when she was an all-out middle class go-getter. Also, she was just starting her life as an adult at the time and she had to blend in with elderly corporate wives.
Avid followers need to refresh their memories about the things which went through "Gilmore Girls" previous seasons. However, with the new cast's role which focuses on DAR, it opens up a lot of questions about Rory's career. From this point alone, we can also sense a lot of the usual Emily-Lorelei tug-of-war between the middle class norms versus the upper crust's principles.
