Sookie St. James was the best friend everyone wanted to have. She was quirky, loyal and the best cook. Lorelai couldn’t have started The Dragon Fly Inn without her help and support. She added a special spark to Gilmore Girls.

Gilmore Girls revival news is Melissa McCarthy will indeed be back as Sookie.

After much will she or won’t she speculation, McCarthy’s return has been confirmed.

I’m sure Lorelai and fans alike are happy to see Sookie again.
