Milo Ventimiglia has been talking “Gilmore Girls” and we’re SO #TeamJess right now

We can’t believe that in just two month’s time we’ll have four feature length, brand new episodes of Gilmore Girls. We know that we’re gonna drinks LOADS of coffee, order too much takeout, brush up on our pop culture quips, and binge watch all four episodes back to back. We’re mentally and emotionally prepared to return to Stars Hollow…possibly.
While we don’t know too much about about the Gilmore Girls revival, which comes to Netflix in November, we do know that each episode will be set during a specific season and that HEAPS of the original cast will be returning to the show.
And we DO know that both Dean, played by Jared Padalecki, and Jess, played by Milo Ventimiglia, will be returning to Stars Hollow to shake things up for Rory.
Now Milo Ventimiglia has been talking all things Jess and we’re not okay.
Dropping by Collider to talk about his new show on NBC, This Is Us (which is great, btw), Milo also spilled the beans on what it was like to return to the character of Jess.
"It was all very much on the page," he said. "I didn’t have to dream too far about who he was. I definitely went back and looked at the last three episodes that Jess was in, just to see where his head was at when he last left and to understand the dynamic between Rory and Luke and just his own journey in life."
You might remember that the last time we saw Jess he was working at small independent publishers in Philadelphia after publishing his own debut short novel. Compared to where he was when he joined the show, he seemed pretty together.
But what about in the upcoming revival?
"I was surprised about where he was," Milo revealed. "And then where he is when we pick back up with him."
Omg, this is SO cryptic.
Continuing he added, "I’d never really dreamed about where he would go or what he’d be up to or the shenanigans he’d be imposing on anyone else, but I was happy with where they placed him, in relation to everyone else. Jess’ purpose to being in these new four episodes, I was really happy about it."
Okay, so we now know that Jess is in all four (!) episodes. Eek!
Continuing on his #TeamJess campaign, Milo told The Today Show that he thought the Jess would’ve made a great father and we need THAT to happen.
“He’s someone who’s passionate. He has a sense of humor about the world, and he doesn’t take himself so seriously," he told the show. "He would probably raise a pretty fun little kid. I think he’d be a good dad."
While we NEVER would have thought that when he was first introduced, we’re pretty sure we agree with Milo now.
We now can’t WAIT until the reboot starts! Right now we’re feeling very #TeamJess, but that could all change…
Gilmore Girls returns to Netflix on November 25th.
You can catch Milo’s new show, This Is Us, on NBC Tuesday’s 10/9c.
