Christopher Hayden / David Sutcliffe Appreciation

[Culwings]

Christopher is a decent guy at least he has proved that to me since the episode when his dad died. With the money and sherry leaving, he had some good but in a sense hard times to face. What´s all the money in the world if your child is all over you and you are not (not even with the apparently best nannies) capable of controlling your child to such an extent that the child won´t grow up to be a spoiled little prat, as Gigi was.(Episode where Lorelai is babysitting Gigi)
This Episode in my mind has made Christopher aware of his mistakes (Even though he doesn´t necessarily show it in that Episode.) In the Finale when Gigi drops the Classic "I don´t like to wear my nightgown to bed either ....." It seemed to me as if Christopher has at least got it sorted with Gigi.


After seeing the Finale again I still don´t think it´s over with Luke and Lorelai. OK the Incident with "Let´s elope" etc. was a bit  .But as i ´m still thinking that Lorelai and Christopher didn´t sleep together . Maybe it´s a bit blue eyed from me to say that but i believe it didn´t happen.


I´m waiting for season 7 to pass further judgement on Christopher.

I had to merge you, cause there already was a thread about Chris. I think you mean Cherry. I didn't like her either.

I really like Chris.  Whenever Loerlai and Chris are together, it just fells "right."  In the end, I would love to see Chris and Lorelai end up together, but I don't think that is going to happen.  (I am okay with L&L, but I would rather it be Chris and Loerlai.  I really don't blame him for a lot of things.  I think that he is a good person and has made some mistakes along the road, just like Lorelai.  They make a great couple.

She read my mind! I think , just because of the "accident" Chris is still a great guy! He has grown up, and is more mature. I think Lor and him are ready for a relation now that L&L are kinda off. I am okay wth l and l though. I , however like CHRIS better!

i could not agree with you two any more lol. i feel the exact same way!!! although L/L has been a long time coming and it would be wrong not to have them toegether in the end. but then again, Lor and Chris had a life before luke came along; they have a kid for gosh shakes!! lol   chris isn't a bad guy, he does what he does because he loves lorelai and rory very much.

I like Christopher and Lorelai together a lot. There's a certain ebb and flow when they are together. Sometimes it's like they can read each other's minds. As actors I think that David Sutcliffe and Lauren Graham also play well off of each other; their timing is practically impeccable!

I think the history between them is one thing, and there could be arguments on both sides for that history making or breaking them. But ultimately I think it's that they are just compatible as individuals.

I always liked how Lorelai was always so supportive and encouraging of Christopher. He was flailing about for all of the seasons until recently. That first season (in the episode with Rory's coming out) we saw him surprising Lorelai by settling into a more stable job and showing up to escort Rory at her coming out because of Lorelai. Then when Sherry became pregnant, even though it was hard for Lorelai, she sent him back to Sherry to be a dad to his and Sherry's baby. And when Sherry left and Christopher was left to be a single father, it was Lorelai again to help him when Gigi wouldn't stop crying or in this last season when she got him to stop spoiling her and to teach her the meaning of hte word "no."

Lorelai's put all this effort into "raising" him in a way, it would be nice if she were able to reap the rewards of Christopher's new found maturity and sense of responsibility.

I think Christopher has made some mistakes, but overall he does make attemps to be a better person.  Although throughout Rory's life, it seems like he wasn't that great of a father, when he did come, he really put a lot of effort into it.  After Lorelai got pregnant, he could of ran, but he didn't.  Lorelai made it pretty clear that she was going to raise Rory by herself, but Chris still wanted to be a (yes, small) part of Rory's life.  Not many 16 year old fathers would do that.
In terms of him and Lorelai, I personally think they have better chemistry and rythem than Lorelai and Luke.  Lorelai will always be in love with him, and I don't think that it's something that is going to go away.

Bringing this up, because with the finale and spoilers (don't worry, not detailing) I think the unappreciation thread is going to have a lot of traffic.  I still think Christopher gets a bad rap.  No, he wasn't responsible, which is one reason why Lorelai didn't marry him.  But, I think the progress he has made doesn't get credited.  He didn't really have a job (or whatever project he was in was failing) and couldn't afford to buy Rory a gift.  Yet, the next time he sees her, he has been working a steady job.  A steady job he still continues to work at, although he really doesn't need to.  He came back to escort Rory to her debutante ball.  He goes to Rory's school events.  He spent his money that he inherited on his daughters, and bought a few things for himself, but he doesn't appear to be lavishly spending on himself -and he's still working a steady job.  He stays in contact with Rory, and has since season 2 (not to mention those weekly phone calls Lorelai mentioned way back in Rory's Birthday Parties).  Since the show has started, i don't recall a time when they asked Christopher to come and he didn't.  Also, time when he came without being asked when Rory was in the car accident.

I also can't blame Christopher for his actions with Sherry.  I think it was foolish, since staying together for the sake of the children doesn't work if the parents are unhappy, but it certainly wasn't done to hurt either Lorelai or Rory, and the show itself advocated that he was doing the "right thing"  Plus, as sympathetic as I am to Lorelai, in this situation she was the other woman in the middle of a relationship between Christopher and Sherry.

I like christopher, I think if anyone payed attention to lor in "partings" they would see the intense chemistry within them, clearly he loves her and her him. I'm glad to be honest. Luke has been treating her bad since he turned into a coward in the 5th season and dumped her! for a LAME reason, she was misereable then he shuts her out and constantly makes her feel like crap in the 6th season!!!
I'm Glad she slept with somone who actually lovers her. I mean If you care about the charater why would you root for the guy who keeps screwing up are we that dysfunctional? this is fiction it should be better than reality no equal to it!

[[email protected]]

In other words YEA CHRIS! watch it again watch how she touches him how she smiles at him! when't the last time luke mader her smile? clearly the writers got bored and ruined luke. I can't root for a man that makes her feel that way! so GO CHRIS!!!

[miloismine]

Christopher and Lorelai are meant to be

Chris and Lorelai come from the same lifestyle, they always get along so well and have so many of the same interests, Chris can survive friday night dinners (Luke can not), and he's Rory's father!!

I was watching Friends the other night after work and David Sutcliffe was in it. He was playing a character named Kyle who is dating Phoebe. His ex-girlfriend ends up at Central Perk and at first they showed the back of her and the actress (don't know her name but she was very familiar) made me think that it was Lauren Graham. She had similar dark curlish hair.

He can't escape the Gilmore Girls wherever he goes! On other shows they pair him with Lauren Graham lookalikes!

whoa! thats funny.  Its always weird for me to see Gilmore Girls characters on other shows because the GG characters feel so real to me.
