Vanessa Marano Is April Nardini in 'Gilmore Girls' Revival - Read Highlights From Our Interview!

On the backlash of April Nardini

“No, no they [the fans] are not [happy with April] [laughs]. I hope this is her second chance. Where and when we last left Luke and Lorelai, they were sort of together, so a lot of people’s beef, and my beef with April, was the fact that she broke those two up. It was a difficult place to be as a fan of the show because on the one hand, I loved my character and I loved that I got to play her on my favorite show, and then on the other hand, she contributed to the demise of my favorite on-screen couple. I was tortured.

Hopefully, this time around, people can just like the character for who she is, as opposed to the 13-year-old who was just a child when she broke up America’s Sweethearts.”
