Emmy Nominations for Gilmore Girls Actors

Melissa McCarthy (Sookie on Gilmore Girls) was not the only one nominated for an Emmy award. Here is a full run-down of the actors and shows associated with Gilmore Girls and their nominations.

I’m sure if I included writers and producers this list would be even longer! Good luck to all those nominated! And a bit of a *sob* for the continued lack of Lauren Graham (Lorelai Gilmore on Gilmore Girls) nominations.

Todd Lowe Steps Up on “True Blood”

Todd Lowe (Zack Van Gerbig on Gilmore Girls) is now known to most as Terry Bellefleur on True Blood. The series just returned to HBO, two episodes into its 4th Season and I’m happy to say, Todd is now getting his due. Not only did he finally getting a publicity shot (and he looks great!), but Terry is getting his due.

In this season, we see that Arlene has mixed feelings about her new baby, but it’s Terry who steps up to defend the baby from her suspicions. Check out one such scene below:

Where do you think this storyline will go?

Todd Lowe talks “True Blood” at PaleyFest

Todd Lowe (Zack Van Gerbig on Gilmore Girls), who is now known to most as Terry Bellefleur on True Blood, attended PaleyFest 2011 to talk about the series and whether Arlene’s baby would be ‘evil’:

The baby, a boy, and Terry loves it… but Arlene has fears.

“Terry is oblivious to it. Terry loves it unconditionally, but there’s something not right with it.”

Apparently we’ll see more of Terry this season as this storyline develops, which is exciting! The next season of True Blood premieres on June 12th.

Dakin Matthews on “True Blood”

45155_1218130122408_400_300.jpgThere was a Gilmore Girls re-union, of sorts, on True Blood last week. Dakin Matthews (Headmaster Charleston on Gilmore Girls) guest starred on True Blood in a scene with Todd Lowe (Zack Van Gerbig on Gilmore Girls)!

Though the two characters on Gilmore Girls never had any scenes together – indeed, they were basically seasons apart – it was still cool to have them both appear on True Blood together.

Dakin Matthews appeared in the episode as the doctor who told Arlene and Terry the “good news” at the hospital. His character, Dr. Robideaux, was also in an earlier episode, but I missed the connection!

Dakin has been seen regularly as Judge Peter Carroll on General Hospital in addition to other guest appearances on shows like Cold Case.

Thanks Amy!
