Rory and Logan were not over!!
December 5, 2007 by Arieanna
Matt Czuchry is my hero! He spilled to Ausiello that if Gilmore Girls had confirmed its 13-episode Season 8, he was inked to come back. Rory and Logan were not over! Well, we don’t know that for sure, but for sure that whether they worked things out or if they broke it off in a less-rushed way, there was more of the Rory and Logan story to be played out.

Ausiello: Beats me, but had Gilmore Girls been back this season, she would’ve been (wait for it) spending time with ex-leading man Matt Czuchry! No lie. Czuchry recently confirmed to me that despite Rory and Logan’s series-ending split, he quietly inked a new deal with the show last spring that — if Gilmore was renewed for an abbreviated, 13-episode eighth season — would’ve called for Logan to return. "Contractually, there was an agreement that I would come back for a certain amount of episodes," reveals the upcoming Friday Night Lights guest star, who insists TPTB didn’t clue him in on why Logan would’ve returned. "I don’t know [what would've happened], because those episodes were never written. There were a lot of hypotheticals about what those 13 episodes would be." At the very least, the return engagement probably would’ve given Rory-Logan a better send-off than the forced breakup we got. Looking back, even Czuchry concedes the duo’s split felt rushed. "I felt like that particular episode, where he asks her to marry him and then they break up and it’s done, just felt like too much at once considering that this relationship was something that had evolved over three seasons." That said, he acknowledges that Gilmore producers were in a tough spot creatively because "when they shot the episode, it wasn’t known whether it was a season finale or a series finale. I think that if everybody would’ve known that it was a series finale, things would have went differently."
What do you think? Do you think that they would have kept Rory and Logan together for a happy ending if they had planned it as a series finale? Or, if there had been another season, would they still break up?
Do you think Amy Sherman-Palladino would bring Logan back if they did a Gilmore Girls movie?

yah i know this is years overdue, but just felt like commenting since abc is airing season 7 for the first time and i never saw it. the only thing i really wanted to know was what happened to rory and logan’s relationship and now i am happy to know that they did not survive! i HATE logan’s character. i’ve dreaded watching them together. it wasn’t about them being different as a good thing. he does not deserve someone like rory. if anything his (bad) influence on her was more harmful than good. even if they continued with the show and they somehow got back together, i have a strong feeling the writers know that someone like logan would never be a great fit for rory in the long run. so yah im happy they ended it that way.
