12 Small Details You Only Notice Rewatching Gilmore Girls
5. Lane's Connection To Lorelai
Whilst Lorelai and Rory are incredibly similar, it can be argued that Lane is the one who was a constant mirror of Lorelai’s life.
Lane grew up in a strict household and had to adhere to her mother's expectations and rules, much like Lorelai did with Emily. They both have a rebellious spirit which they kept a secret from their parents. They both have children at a young age (Lorelai at 16, Lane at 22) and become a cherished part of the little town of Stars Hollow. And despite not turning out how their mothers wanted, they make great lives for themselves and finally gain the acceptance they deserve from their parents.
On a side note, the actresses who play Lorelai and Lane, Lauren Graham and Keiko Agena, were both born in Honolulu, Hawaii are only six years apart in age, despite their characters' sixteen year age gap within the show.
