Richard Gilmore, played by Edward
Herrmann, is the father of Lorelai and grandfather to Rory. He has a relatively
more comfortable relationship with Lorelai than does his wife, Emily, which
is highlighted in episode 5.16 'So..good talk' when Lorelai agrees to meet
with him even though she is angry at Emily for breaking up Luke and her.
He is an alumnus of Yale, where he sang with the Whiffenpoofs,[2] and plays
a pivotal role in persuading Lorelai as well as getting Rory admitted there. He and Rory have an adorable grandfather-granddaughter relationship which serves to ease the frequent tension between Emily and Lorelai at the Friday Night Dinners. Emily and Richard themselves have a very conventional husband-wife relationship which has often served as an example of up tightness of Lorelai's previous social circles. They separate at the end of the fourth season only to reconcile midway through the fifth. Richard works as an top level executive in an insurance company until the second season, when he becomes frustrated after noticing that he is gradually being phased out. After a brief flirtation with retirement, Richard quickly becomes bored and goes back into insurance work for himself, and soon takes on Jason Stiles as a business partner. His old company welcomes him back in the 5th season, and finally returning to Yale to teach an economics course in the 7th season. He suffers a heart attack during a lecture, which Rory was attending. When he recovers, it brings the family closer together. |
