Kelly Bishop from Gilmore Girls reveals which of Rory’s boyfriends is her favorite
According to Bishop, Emily believes that Emily would probably prefer Lorelai’s first love, Christopher, but should have been on Team Luke instead. She didn’t realize how much Luke cared for her and how important their relationship was throughout the series.
Even though Luke Danes was Lorelai’s ultimate love interest, Bishop mentions that it took Emily some time to accept the idea of him becoming her son-in-law.
As for the additional four episodes in the 2016 Netflix reboot, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, Bishop stated that Emily had no issue with Lorelai and Luke getting married. She would have supported Luke if she had known more about him, but lacked information about the other guys in Lorelai’s life.
