Melissa McCarthy had a Stars Hollow reunion of her own! The 45-year-old actress reunited with former GilmoreGirls co-star Yanic Truesdale over the weekend. The actor, who played Michael on thebeloved dramedy, shared a selfie with the Ghosbusters star.
He captioned thephoto, “Scotch, great meal and catching up with my oldfriend @melissamccarthy, can't ask for more!” However Yanic was quick to note that the pair’sreunion doesn’t mean anything. He added, “Dont read anything into it guys.”
The actor’s disclaimercomes more than a month after Melissa announced she would not be returning for Netflix's four-episode revival of the show. Responding to a fan on Twitter who wasasking about her character Sookie St. James, Melissa wrote, “Thanks for the invite, but sadly no one asked me orSookie to come back to Stars Hollow. Wish them all the best!!”
Last month Gilmore Girls creator AmySherman-Palladino told TVLine that Melissa is really “busy.” "Planningaround her crazy pants schedule and her movies and her this and her that and Ghostbusters…Iwould just be sobbing in a corner for six months," she said.

Though Amy added, “But the thing I have said [to her team] is, ‘Look, if Melissa isavailable and has an afternoon free, I’ll write her a scene. Melissa wasone of us. If she has a spare moment to run over [to the set] — even if forjust a cameo — we would be totally game. And if it’s a last-minute thing, Iwould write her in and we would figure it out. That’s the way we left it.”
Aside from Yanic, Alexis Bledel,Lauren Graham, Milo Ventimiglia, Scott Patterson, Kelly Bishop, Keiko Agena, Sean Gunn, Matt Czuchry, Liza Weil and Jared Padalecki are all set to reprise their original roles in thehighly-anticipated revival. The series title and premiere date have not yet to be announced.
