Gilmore Girls vet Lauren Graham seems to be celebrating being cast in a new high-profile film by picking up a bottle of wine

bought what appeared to be a bottle of wine while running errands in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The 58-year-old Gilmore Girls alum sported a baby-blue beanie, black puffer jacket, matching leggings, and white sneakers for her outing.
Lauren's street sighting came less than two weeks after she was cast in Universal Pictures romantic drama Reminders of Him, which is already scheduled to hit US/UK theaters February 13.
Graham portrays Grace Landry, the grieving mother of Scotty (Rudy Pankow), who's raising his daughter after his girlfriend Kenna (Maika Monroe) served five years in prison for his tragic death.
Vanessa Caswill's big-screen adaptation of Collen Hoover's 2022 novel also features Tyriq Withers, Nicholas Duvernay, Lainey Wilson, and Bradley Whitford.
Last year, the 45-year-old author notoriously helped Blake Lively re-edit Justin Baldoni 's big-screen adaptation of her 2016 novel It Ends with Us, which culminated in their headline-grabbing legal war.
On April 9, the two-time SAG Award nominee revealed her idea for the next Gilmore Girls special while appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show.
'Something that I love that they do in England more than they do here, is you have a season of a show that you loved — Downton Abbey was one for me — and then they do like a Downton Abbey Christmas,' Lauren explained.
'So you get to visit your characters, but it's not like a whole reboot of the whole thing. So that is my idea that has been sanctioned by no one.'
On April 14, Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino officially responded to Graham's 'very cute' idea.
'The freaking Christmas special! I'm hearing it from everybody else,' the 59-year-old showrunner told E! News. 'There's no talks right now.'
Amy's husband and producing partner Daniel Palladino reassured fans: 'We're constantly thinking of stuff for [fictional CT town] Stars Hollow, because anything kind of quirky American makes us want to put it into Stars Hollow. But there's no set thing right now.'
The Z-Suite star called the 2016 Netflix four-part continuation Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life - in which she reprised her breakthrough role as single mother Lorelai Gilmore - 'pure joy' to shoot.
'Yes. I always say yes because it's my favorite character, it's my favorite,' Lauren gushed to Drew.
The original sitcom aired for seven seasons spanning 2000–2007 on The WB/The CW before its 2007 cancellation.
But first, audiences can catch Graham as Dylan O'Brien's onscreen mother Lisa in James Sweeney's Sundance Audience Award-winning black comedy Twinless, which hits US theaters September 5.
On the personal front, the Golden Globe nominee has been single since ending her 11-year relationship with her former Caroline in the City co-star Peter Krause in 2021.

Watch: First look at final Downton Abbey film

The place we'll always remember. The family we'll never forget. Everything has led to this. Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is only in theaters September 12. Watch the teaser trailer now. — Downton Abbey (@DowntonAbbey) June 2, 2025 The trailer for the new Downton Abbey film has hinted at a poignant final chapter. After six series and two films, a final cinematic release will conclude the story of the Crawley family in September 2025 with Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. A teaser trailer suggests that there will be an emotional end to the Edwardian saga devised by writer Lord Fellowes, which began with the first series on ITV in 2010. Promotional material for the third and final film in the franchise shows Hugh Bonneville's character Robert Crawley, the Earl of Grantham, apparently bidding farewell to Downton. The trailer includes a portrait of Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham, who was played by the late Dame Maggie Smith. Her character was killed off in the 2022 film Downton Abbey: A New Era, two years before Dame Maggie herself died aged 89. Executive producer Gareth Neame said that the film would contain a 'meaningful' tribute to Dame Maggie, and her loss would be reflected in the plot of the finale of the Downton story. In an interview with TV Line in 2024, Neame said: 'The fact that Dame Maggie herself has now passed away since that time has given a real added poignancy to a story that we would have planned anyway.' Few further details of the film's plot have been revealed. The film stars Dominic West as silent film star Guy Dexter, and Michelle Dockery as Lady Mary, who will be shown navigating London high society. The trailer hints at the plot revolving to some degree around a stage show and shows Lady Mary being mobbed by the press and treated like a star. Her former on-screen partner Matthew Goode's character Henry Talbot will not be returning for the final film. The actor said that he felt his character was 'edging towards becoming a bit of a wet lettuce' and suggested it was a 'good thing' he would not return, allowing Lady Mary to find another love interest.

EastEnders fans 'fuming' as soap confirms another dramatic affair

It was a dramatic night in EastEnders tonight as the soap confirmed yet another shock affair - and fans think they know exactly when the secret will be revealed It's been a dramatic time for relationships on Albert Square, and tonight's episode of EastEnders confirmed yet another shock affair in Walford. During tonight's episode, fans saw Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) struggle with her husband Peter Beale (Thomas Law), who hasn't been helping out with newborn son Jimmy after finding out he was blind. Cindy and Kathy Beale then stepped in to help - which led to a shocking revelation from Peter. ‌ Asked why he won't even pick Jimmy up, Peter exclaimed: "I can't look at him because it makes me angry. And I can't look at you because it's your fault." Kathy then butted in to tell her grandson he was out of order, but Peter was having none of it. ‌ "Why? Because the doctor said that her being as high as a kite is unlikely to be the cause? Well do any of you think it helped?" "She was meant to be protecting our son. My son is blind and I've got to pretend that his mum has nothing to do with the fact he'll never see my face," Peter exclaimed before storming out. A distressed Lauren then went out to find a drink, although Linda refused to serve her in the Vic, as did Gina in Harry's Barn. Zack then took her home - where he revealed all about being Barney's dad. As Lauren stood up to comfort him, things took a turn when she planted a kiss on his cheek, which led to the lips. ‌ It's not the first time the pair have explored a connection. Zack cheated on Whitney with her best friend Lauren weeks before her wedding with the revelation causing Whitney to call off the wedding and leave Walford. Now, fans think history is set to repeat itself at Lauren and Peter's wedding, should the day still go ahead. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: "I don't condone cheating but in this instance you can't blame Lauren especially after the way Peter was with her tonight .He was so selfish and you can't speak to an addict in that way. "She has slept with Zack before so I saw that coming It'll come out at the wedding #EastEnders." ‌ Another responded: "Zack is on a roll with ruining weddings then," with another agreeing: "He really is!" Others were left fuming with the soap after putting Zack and Lauren together once again. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan questioned: "Why did we need lauren and zack again? #eastenders," as another wrote: "I cannot believe we are doing this again with Lauren and Zack. Like are we being serious right now??????????? #EastEnders". Will this just be a one time thing or will the connection between Lauren and Zack go even deeper?
