2 ‘Gilmore Girls' actors to join Brighton's Stars Hollow weekend in September
Fans, dust off your flannels and fast-talk your way to Brighton this fall: Two beloved 'Gilmore Girls' stars are coming to town. Destination Stars Hollow, the immersive fan event that transforms Brighton's Main Street into the cozy, fictional town from the hit early 2000s TV show, returns in September — and this year, it's bringing some familiar faces. Scott Patterson, best known for his role as the grumpy-but-lovable diner owner Luke Danes, will appear at the event on Saturday, Sept. 20. Also joining the festivities that day is Michigan native Rose Abdoo, who played two fan-favorite characters — the quirky mechanic named Gypsy and, in the Netflix revival 'A Year in the Life,' the no-nonsense maid Berta. Abdoo was born in Detroit and raised in Southfield. She is also a Michigan State University alum. Meet-and-greet tickets with the actors will go on sale closer to the event, with an official date to be announced. VIP ticket holders will receive first access to those limited tickets. More: 'Gilmore Girls' fan event returns to Brighton for 3 days this fall The 2024 debut of Destination Stars Hollow drew more than 40,000 fans from across Michigan and as far away as Hawaii, New York and Florida, putting Brighton — a small city in Livingston County — in a national spotlight. Created by Brighton residents and 'Gilmore Girls' superfans Kathleen London and Laura Boote, the event is designed to boost local businesses while offering fans a chance to step into their favorite show. Nearly 40 downtown storefronts will be transformed into Stars Hollow-inspired destinations, complete with themed décor and curated experiences. This year, the festival will stretch over three days instead of one. It kicks off Friday, Sept. 19, with a $150 VIP package that includes early access to Main Street shopping, a themed tote bag filled with show-inspired merchandise, first access to dinner reservations, and priority for meet-and-greet tickets. The free-to-attend festivities run from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, and Sunday, Sept. 21., featuring a wide range of themed shopping stores, photo ops, activities, food and more. According to organizers, weekend events will include easter egg hunts, dance-a-thons, knit-a-thons, Chilton-style fashion shows, a look-alike contest and even a Poe Society homage — all designed to immerse attendees in the 'Gilmore Girls' universe.

The Question Everyone's Asking After ‘Ginny & Georgia' Season 3
Spoilers below. Somebody get Maury Povich in touch with Georgia Miller. The 'Mayoress Murderess' of Wellsbury and co-lead protagonist of Netflix's hit dramedy Ginny & Georgia is officially pregnant again—for real this time!—and she might need some help determining paternity. In season 3, Georgia fakes a pregnancy using her daughter's (real) positive pregnancy test, so as to convince her husband, Mayor Paul Randolph, not to divorce her during her ongoing murder trial. But before she makes this objectively awful decision, Georgia first comforts her daughter, Ginny, after the latter has an abortion. As the two cuddle on the couch, Georgia shares that, when she herself was pregnant as a teenager, she wanted 'milk, just all the time. Straight from the carton. I would've sucked a cow.' She also jokes to Ginny, 'We are very fertile. Men sneeze at me, I'm ovulatin'. I had two kids before I could legally order a margarita.' Both throwaway lines serve as foreshadowing for what's to come in the finale episode, when a freed Georgia trots through the kitchen, drinking a quart of milk straight from the carton. 'Mom,' a startled Ginny begins, 'didn't you say you drink milk when you're pregnant?' The look on Georgia's face quickly confirms Ginny's suspicions. So has show creator Sarah Lampert, who asserts that Georgia is indeed pregnant. The big question everyone's asking, then: Who's the father? As Lampert joked to Netflix's Tudum, 'Ginny gets pregnant, Georgia fakes a pregnancy, and then Georgia really gets pregnant, and we don't know who the dad is. And when you say these things out loud, you're like, 'What in the world is this show?!'' (A fair question.) There are two potential options for the baby's father, as far as the audience knows: Mayor Paul and Blue Farm Café owner Joe, who first met Georgia as a teenager. Earlier in the season, Georgia sleeps with her then-husband Paul in a last-ditch effort to make their marriage work, before she makes the false pregnancy claim. Later, Paul leaves her and she makes the decision to skip town and dodge her trial. Joe shows up at her door hours before she makes a run for it, and the two end up sleeping together. 'In that moment, who shows up, but Joe, and he's not there to make a move,' Lampert told Deadline. 'He's not there in a romantic like, 'Oh, man, she really needs a friend.' So there's a little bit of an opening there for them to appreciate new things about each other. Because for him, it's always been this infatuation.' And if her reciprocation is any indicator, Georgia has feelings for him, too. So, who is the father of her unborn child? By the end of the season, it's clear that Paul and Georgia's relationship is officially over. There's little but hurt between them now, which has led Brianne Howey, who plays Georgia, to theorize that Joe would make for a better dad. 'Seeing the way things ended [between Georgia and Paul], seeing all of our true colors, and what we brought out of one another, I think the healthiest option for everyone was probably for that relationship to dissolve,' Howey told Tudum. 'And perhaps someone new is about to be a dad,' she teases. Added Raymond Ablack, who plays Joe, 'I would die of a broken heart [if Paul were the father].' Lampert told TVLine in a post-finale interview that, despite some early 'debate,' the Ginny & Georgia writers' room has indeed 'landed on whose baby it is.' Still, she insisted in a separate interview with Deadline that she can always change her mind. 'Here's what I'll say about that,' she told the outlet. 'I know whose baby she's carrying, but I went into the writer's room this season and I said, 'Here's who the daddy is. Change my mind.' So it's live wire in there. I'm telling you right now, I am open to being convinced otherwise.' Clearly, when it comes to love affairs, so is Georgia. After she turned down Joe's advances in the season 3 finale, she might have to reconsider her relationship with him when season 4 comes around. Until then, she'll just have to frequent the dairy aisle. This story will be updated.

YouTube overtakes streaming rivals as the go-to for TV and movies
Gone are the days when YouTube was just for catching up on vlogs or diving into late-night rabbit holes. Today, the platform is staking its claim in TV and film. Why you're catching the 'ick' so easily, according to science Why AI Is Making 1:1 Meetings Irrelevant Where are the wildfires in Canada? Maps pinpoint the location of fires and air-quality threats from smoke According to a new survey conducted by Looper Insights between April 16 and 25, 66% of consumers discover TV or film content via YouTube. For 61%, it's already part of their regular streaming habits, and for 34%, it's a main source for TV and film content, as reported by Media Play News. This shift isn't surprising. In April, the Google-owned platform captured a record 12.4% share of all TV viewing. And it's not just rival streamers who should be concerned. For three consecutive months, YouTube has ranked as the No. 1 distributor of television content, according to Nielsen. Media executives are taking notice. Among the 65 surveyed, 84% view YouTube as a viable platform for launching long-form content, and 30% are actively considering it for upcoming releases. In Q1 2025, more Americans watched YouTube on TV screens than on mobile devices—a first. Meeting audiences in the living room, media companies have begun uploading premium content directly to the platform. Earlier this year, Warner Bros. quietly released more than 30 full-length films on YouTube, free to watch. Yet as YouTube continues its rise, creators face critical decisions. Some, like Ms Rachel, have signed licensing deals with Netflix. MrBeast (aka Jimmy Donaldson), YouTube's most-subscribed creator, brought Beast Games to the small screen via Prime Video. Still, many fans would rather their favorite YouTubers stay where they started. More than half (54%) of respondents said YouTubers feel more authentic and better suited to the platform that launched their careers. Meanwhile, nearly three-quarters (74%) of executives noted that creator-led shows often underperform on platforms like Netflix and Prime, citing poor audience migration and an overreliance on follower counts. The good news: The YouTube takeover is already in full swing—so creators may not need to go anywhere at all. This post originally appeared at to get the Fast Company newsletter:
