Lauren Grahamisn’t taking any chances should anotherGilmore Girlsreunion come about.
During a recent appearance on SiriusXM’sEW Live, the actress, 54, told host Jessica Shaw that she always leaves a window open when taking new jobs in case an opportunity arises to once again reprise her iconic role as Lorelai Gilmore with original producerAmy Sherman-Palladino.
“I put that window into all my new jobs, just in case,” she said. “I don’t want to start any new rumors.

So that door is open. Is it creatively warranted? Is it, you know, something? I don’t know.”
