What truly makesthe showso special are its characters, though.

These are the 10 worstGilmore Girlsboyfriends, ranked.

It really was a disappointment to learn in the revival that Paris and Doyle were getting a divorce.

Additionally, when Rory got the editor position during the coup against Paris, Doyle’s loyalties wavered.

He was loving and sweet, and they had a lot of the same interests.

Like Rory and Lorelai always said, he was the perfect first boyfriend.

He was kind, thoughtful, and devoted to her, and he even built her a car.

After that, though, he became a bad boyfriend very quickly.

At his worst, Dean was possessive, controlling, and very needy.

Before that, though, Dean played a large part in pushing her away.

His best moments with Rory came during his courtship of and friendship with her, before they started dating.

He was also thoughtful and caring with her, like when he brought her food during her night alone.

When Rory and Jess started dating, though, he majorly dropped the ball.

Like Jess, he was much better to her before they started dating.

Ultimately, though, Logan was not a great boyfriend.

He also didn’t hesitate to hook up with other women during their fight.

After Lane and Zack started dating, though, his lack of effort became frustrating instead of funny.

The problems with Asher as a boyfriend primarily stemmed from this major issue.

As an adult, though, Christopher always disappointed Lorelai.

He was charming but flaky, and rarely delivered on his grand promises and declarations.
