Rory Gilmore is one of the most hotly debated characters of Gilmore Girls. Today we detour from her romances and privilege to cover another important topic - her friendships.

From Lane Kim to Paris Geller, and those who followed, was Rory a good friend?

In the "Best of Gabbing," Jackie and Catherine address the most common fan complaints about Rory’s BFF status. Plus, they share their theory about why Rory and Lane’s friendship lasted so long & a few reflections on decades-long friendships in their own lives.

Lane Kim is one of the Gilmore Girls fandom’s all-time favorite characters! Brilliantly played by Keiko Agena, Lane Kim had a strict, rules-based upbringing plus a burning passion for rock music and playing drums.

In today’s episode of Gabbing Gilmore, we dig into the repression of Lane Kim. How did growing up in a strict environment impact Lane’s personality? How did Mrs. Kim influence her values? When was she willing to stray from being the obedient daughter?

Join us for "the best of Gabbing Gilmore" with this deep dive into Lane Kim.
