Lorelai was raised in Hartford, Connecticut by wealthy parents who attempted to bring her up to be a proper young lady of society, go to an Ivy league college, marry a man with wealth and good - breeding, and even arranged for her to be presented to society. However, Lorelai knew that was n't the life she wanted. As a teenager ( portrayed in flashbacks by Chelsea Brummet ), Lorelai dated Christopher Hayden, the son of Straub and Francine. She discovered she was pregnant at the age of 16, before finishing high school. This greatly embarrassed and disappointed her parents as well as the parents of Christopher, the baby 's father. Straub Hayden initially suggested Lorelai have an abortion, however Emily flat out refused, and Richard suggested that Lorelai and Christopher should marry instead. Christopher agreed, but Lorelai refused, convinced that marrying so young simply would n't work out. When Lorelai realized she was in labor, she left a note for her parents and drove alone to the hospital. After her daughter, Rory, was born on October 8, 1984, Lorelai briefly lived with her parents then ran away to Stars Hollow, a small town in rural Connecticut, to find her own life. The owner of the Independence Inn, Mia, took her in, gave her a job as a maid, and let her and Rory live in the back in a renovated potting shed. The Independence Inn is where she met her best friend, Sookie St. James ( Melissa McCarthy ), who is executive chef at the Independence Inn. Lorelai worked her way up over the years, and was eventually promoted to executive manager, which is her job as the show opens. For many years after running away from home, Lorelai had almost no contact with her parents, except for visits during major holidays. Storylines When the series starts, Rory gets accepted into Chilton Preparatory School, a private and expensive high school.

In the very last scene of the show, Lorelai is sitting with Rory and they 're reflecting on ' it all '. Rory then turns to her mother and tells her she 's pregnant. The show ends never revealing who the father is. Character development Casting `` She had to have everything. The role required someone who could act, who could make you cry, who could break your heart, who was funny and gorgeous and tough and sexy and vulnerable. We looked and looked and could n't find that actress. Just about the time I was saying, ' Let 's just find somebody who 's pretty and put her in the corner, ' in walks Lauren. She gave us everything we wanted - a lovely little gift combo. '' Sherman - Palladino on Graham 's casting Three other actresses, including Nina Garbiras, were initially considered to play Lorelai, but the network rejected them and instead mentioned the name of Lauren Graham. Before landing the role of Lorelai in Gilmore Girls, Graham starred in many short - lived TV shows, guest appeared in a number of top 10 prime - time comedies and did commercial work. She obtained the role in Gilmore Girls because she had all the characteristics producer Amy Sherman - Palladino was looking for. `` The fact that you had someone that talented running around Hollywood, not found yet, was the biggest coup in the world '', she said `` Because Lorelai 's a hard part. You 've got to be funny, you 've got to talk really fast, you 've got to be able to act, you 've got to be sexy, but not scary sexy. You 've got to be strong, but not like ' I hate men. ' It 's a lot that goes into this character, and it was really a tough find. And to find it and be able to feel like you broke somebody fresh, even though everybody in town knew Lauren, like everybody here was like, ' When is Lauren going to get something great. ' But America did n't know Lauren, and that was a real coup for us. '' Characterization Virginia Heffernan of The New York Times described Lorelai and Rory as `` unsentimental brainiacs '' who, if they could see Gilmore Girls, would hate its sentimentality of the last and final season. Also, the character talks fast and uses words to keep her `` loneliness at bay '' which, while opinion, seems to be a relatively insightful view of her. Lorelai feels that to `` swoon, even once, '' would make her lose her verbal power and her `` reason for being. '' On the characteristic of talking fast, Sherman - Palladino noted : `` Just by listening to Lorelai 's vocal patterns, it says volumes about this woman : First of all, that she 's bright enough to put that many words together that quickly... and it says a lot about her emotionally, that she 's got a deflection shield that 's sort of the way she gets through the world, which says survivor. '' She also said of the character : `` Lorelai 's humor was her guard and her deflection and what kept her strong. It was her Wonder Woman cuffs. '' Margaret Lyons of Vulture.com wrote an analysis on Lorelai pointing out her flaws : `` Both Gilmores have an exaggerated sense of their own wonderfulness, though I suppose, in their defense, those around them seem to play along. (... ) Lorelai 's downfall is her intense, overwhelming self - absorption. She 's chronically rude to people in the service industry, and she is always in the market for special treatment. She is not a good friend to Sookie, even though she thinks she is ; she kinda, sorta takes advantage of Sookie 's pleaser tendencies and frequently ignores, minimizes, or dismisses Sookie 's ideas and problems. Her self - absorption erodes any opportunity for self - awareness. She likes to refer to her `` emotional baggage, '' but she assiduously avoids doing anything about it. Lorelai knows how to push Emily and Richard 's buttons, and she never hesitates to do so. '' In the fifth season, Lorelai started a relationship with Luke Danes ; Sherman - Palladino commented : `` I thought we had enough time invested in the relationship that people would care. We had a good four years, and in those four years, we saw Luke go through relationships, and we saw Lorelai go through three relationships. I felt like it was time. '' Lorelai is witty and quirky. A coffee addict, she spends a lot of time in Luke 's diner and chatting with the locals of Stars Hollow. She makes many pop culture references, many from the 80s. Lorelai speaks very fast, especially when upset. A smart businesswoman, she forms strong relationships with her employees making her business run smoothly. Her best friend is Sookie St. James. Much to her parents horror, she is a Democrat. She drives a Jeep Wrangler. Her favorite band is The Bangles. Reception E ! Online 's Lia Harberman summarized Lorelai as `` a woman we 're dying to call Mom. (... ) Finally, the ultratalented actress gets a chance to shine in a show that looks like it just might stick around. '' Willa Paskin of PopMatters wrote Lorelai is `` perhaps the most fully developed female character on television. '' The New York Times TV columnist Virginia Heffernan said the character was `` painful and surprising and exciting to watch -- a marvelous high - wire act. '' According to Michael Ausiello, fans were reluctant to let Luke and Lorelai go.
