Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life - 10 Burning Questions The Revival Must Answer

9. How Does Emily Cope Without Richard?

If the trailers and other promos for the revival have suggested anything, it's that things are going to get very emotional. Why? Because it's going to be dealing with the death of Richard Gilmore.

Richard was one of my personal favourite characters, and it's sad he won't be around. In particular, it'll be very different seeing Emily living without him, and the question remains over how she copes (and also just how his death is handled).

From what we've seen so far, it isn't too good. She's getting rid of everything, and even wearing jeans and a Candies t-shirt. What will Emily do now her entire life has changed? (And, er, is she really keeping that painting of Richard?)
