When plans were first announced for A Year In The Life, there was uproar after it was reported that Melissa McCarthy wasn't returning.

She may have gone on to have the biggest career of any of the cast, and have a busy schedule, but as the Dragonfly's chef/co-owner and Lorelai's best friend, she's a key and much-loved part of the show.

Thankfully, a U-turn was made, and McCarthy's Sookie will indeed be back in the miniseries. So how much of her will we actually get to see? It'll be strange if she's not in it that much, but McCarthy might not have been able to fit too much in (a shame if so, since Gilmore Girls is some of her very best work).
