'Gilmore Girls' Fave Luke Was Originally a Woman, Creator Reveals

The fateful relationship between Gilmore Girls characters Luke and Lorelai is one of the strong points of the beloved show, but things could've been a lot different if the creator stuck to her initial plan. Amy Sherman-Palladino revealed to Entertainment Weekly that Luke was actually supposed to be a woman named Daisy!

“Luke was originally a female character,” the GG creator said. “[The network] came to me and said we need another guy, so I literally just took a character and changed the name, didn’t even change any of the dialogue because I’m that lazy.”
