Paris Eustace Geller, played by Liza Weil, is introduced in
the second episode of Season 1 and makes her last appearance in the penultimate
episode of Season 7. The child of wealthy, Jewish parents, she was raised
almost completely by her Portuguese nanny. Paris was originally Rory's main
rival at Chilton Academy, partially because she felt threatened by Rory's
academic prowess, but more because of the attention that Tristin Dugray
(Chad Michael Murray), the school's popular and rebellious heartthrob, paid
the new transfer from Stars Hollow High. Her two best friends at Chilton
are Madeline and Louise, although their focus is fashion and dating in contrast
to Paris' dedication to academics. Paris and Rory's rivalry continues unabated
and periods of hostility arise, but after Paris and Rory bond at a Bangles
concert in New York they slowly become close friends. Both Paris and Rory
share a dream of studying at Harvard, but both attend Yale in season four:
Paris is heartbroken when she is rejected by Harvard, the university her
family has attended for generations.
In season three, Paris starts her first romantic relationship with a Princeton
student, Jamie (Brandon Barash). Rory is her reluctant adviser about dating
and counsels Paris when she loses her virginity to Jamie. Paris ends the
relationship with Jamie in season four when she starts an affair with a
much older man and a Yale professor, Asher Fleming (Michael York). The affair
ends when Asher dies. Paris starts to date the Yale Daily News editor Doyle
McMaster (Danny Strong) and eventually moves in with him, though involuntarily
as her parents fled the country to avoid tax evasion charges at the start
of the sixth season, leaving Paris without any financial means outside of
loans and a closed trust not yet opened due to her age. Paris attends Yale
also and is roommates with Rory for all four years. She is finally accepted
into Harvard Medical School in season seven. Paris is consistently nervous
about meeting standards and is often angry when annoyed, having an extreme
Type A personality.
The character of Paris was originally created for a three-episode guest
arc by series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Gavin
Polone at the beginning of the show's first season to introduce the high
pressures, competitiveness and stress of Rory's transition from small public
high school in Stars Hollow to the elite institution of Chilton.[citation
needed] This character was created in consolation for Weil after a strong
audition for the role of Rory which eventually went to Alexis Bledel.[citation
needed] Weil was known to Polone through her work in film Stir of Echoes,
which he and his company produced.[citation needed] Weil had to dye her
hair from brown to blonde for the part of Paris to highlight the contrast
between Paris and Rory.[citation needed] The character proved to be the
ideal foil to Rory, and the role of Paris was expanded through the first
season until Weil became a series regular in the second season.

A New Jersey-ben született Liza Weil gyermek korának
jó részét azzal töltötte, hogy szülei színtársulatával bejárja Európát.

a színészet iránt. Miután családja Lansdale-ben megtelepedett, bejár
New Yorkba professzionális meghallgatásokra. Színpadi rajtra New York-ban
a Broadway mellett játszva, illetve regionális philadelphiai darabokban

című önálló drámában. Legutóbb a Szitakötő-ben játszott Kevin Costner-rel.
Los Angeles-be költözésével elindul Weil TV-s karrierje, mivel hamar
emlékezetes vendég szerepekben jelenik meg Az elnök emberei-ben és a
Vészhelyzetben. A Vészhelyzet-ben a feleségét játssza egy skizofrén
betegnek, aki leszúrja a Kellie Martin és Noah Wylie által alakított
szereplőket. Az elnök embereiben fehér házi gyakornokként felelős annak
kiszivárogtatáért, hogy a személyzeti főnök, Leo McGarry kábítószer
problémával küzd. Idén ősszel vendég szereplő lesz az Esküdt ellenségek
