Why Gilmore Girls Fans Think Paris Deserved Better

From the moment Paris first meets Doyle (Danny Strong), their chemistry is palpable. Paris is unaccustomed to people not being afraid of her, and Doyle has no problem taking her down a peg or two. It was only natural to assume that the two would live happily ever after when "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" premiered. Unfortunately for fans on Reddit, they were sorely disappointed.

"In the final season, Paris is shown to have a rocky relationship with Doyle, living in a house she hates," posted one Redditor. "Out of everyone, I feel like she deserved to have a happy relationship." Paris comes from a strict household and is essentially neglected by her parents. Her relationship with Professor Asher Fleming (Michael York) proves how desperately she needs a father figure. The comedy stylings between the two make for hilarious television, and after all her insecurities and struggles, she finally finds the path to true love. The revival showing that her marriage to Doyle has become fractured makes for a heartbreaking conclusion to Paris' story.

"In my head, they found their way back to each other," commented u/bring_back_my_tardis, still holding out hope. Other fans were quick to agree. "Yes! Definitely just a temporary separation!" exclaimed u/KtP_911. Because the passionate couple is only separated in the revival, there is always hope they can reconcile.
