Still, Lorelai and Luke are very different people, and Scott Patterson, who also spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the couple, thinks it’s for the best that the romance was a slow simmering one on the show.
While Luke and Lorelai were already connected on a deep level when the show started, it took quite a while for them to finally make a go of an actual relationship.
It wasn’t until the Season 4 finale that the two shared their first kiss, which would set the characters off on a, sometimes rocky, but best-for-both-people romance that, we hope, has stood the test of time when we see them again.
