In the Season 4 finale, Rory Gilmore makes a decision that’s pretty out of character — she sleeps with Dean Forester, a married man. “Over the years, I was definitely surprised by certain plot twists,” Alexis Bledel told Entertainment Weekly, adding, “I didn’t think that it was something that made a lot of sense for my character. [Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino] likes a little bit of a shock value, so it was something that I had to wrap my head around.”
Fans were also upset by Rory’s decision, calling her the “villain” in the situation. “If my mom ever walked in on me basically losing my virginity to a married man, she’d be like ‘be f**ing for real right now,'” said one fan on TikTok. Jared Padalecki, on the other hand, thought the plot line made sense for Dean, who was struggling in an unhappy marriage with unresolved feelings for his ex.
Alexis Bledel’s moral qualms weren’t the only barrier to filming the intimate scene, however. The bed — yes, the bed — presented an even greater challenge. “I remember standing in that room saying, ‘There’s no f***ing way Jared and her fit in that bed,'” said Amy Sherman-Palladino, referring to the small twin on which the scene took place. Padalecki is a whopping six feet and four inches tall, and there were quite a few mishaps while filming … “In the outtakes, I fell off that bed a couple of times,” remembered Bledel.
