Although I couldn't stand Jess for years, I eventually changed my mind about her. Gilmore Girls supporting star thanks to one episode. Ask any fan Gilmore Girls Who should Rory have ended up with and you'll have to get different answers. To the dean's defenders, he is a solid source of support that grounds Rory's high-minded academic side. According to his detractors, Dean is too small-minded and boring for him. For Logan's fans, he is charismatic and playful. To her critics, she is the privileged embodiment of the world Lorelai Gilmore rejects.
He looks Gilmore Girls' characters, I could give a definite answer for once. Everyone but Jess, I would say when I first watched the series. Long before the revival of 2016, A Year in the LifeJess was Luke's domineering nephew who constantly poked Rory, attacked his school and friends, and did everything in his power to bring down the idyllic town of Stars Hollow. Now, I'm not so sure. Now I think Rory might be lucky to end up with a guy like Jess, and ironically, she might grow out of him.

Like Rory, I couldn't go back to ignoring the cracks in Gilmore Girls' cheery facade after Jess's arrival.
I was offended by Jess's simple manners Gilmore Girls more complex. From the moment she arrives, Jess disrupts the peace, turning the previously supportive Lorelai against her daughter and making the seemingly sweet Dean seem close-minded and angry. Gilmore GirlsApril Nardini may have had a stronger influence on the show's main story, but Jess was more of a conscious agent of chaos than Luke's hapless daughter. She hated the saccharine image of Stars Hollow and its golden child, Rory Gilmore, and like Rory, I couldn't go back. Gilmore Girls' cheerful facade after his arrival.

Her artistic prowess and success in the publishing industry contextualized Jess's struggles.
It was pretty obvious that Jess hated Stars Hollow because it belonged in the town and was acting out because she was fed up with the restrictions of being a teenager. Rory's A Year in the Life the plotline proves that his journalistic ambitions were not guaranteed to succeed, while Jess showed considerable work ethic and talent for writing novels at a young age.

As long as future episodes Gilmore Girls Don't force Jess to settle in Stars Hollow because I doubt she'll survive in the town now.
