Rory’s Struggles in Gilmore Girls: A Missed Opportunity for Character Growth

This is a huge change from the bright, driven girl who, when she started at Chilton, dreamed of becoming a war correspondent like Christiane Amanpour. While we didn’t anticipate a flawless life for Rory in A Year in the Life, we certainly didn’t want to see her end up pregnant and on her own. It’s disappointing because the show had already set up a believable situation where Rory could have struggled and learned, but it didn’t quite work out that way.
