Gilmore Girls

Melissa McCarthy, who plays Sookie on Gilmore Girls, is expecting her first child with husband Ben Falcone. (You may know Ben from “Joey” - he played weird neighbor Howard). The baby is due in May. So maybe that’s why she hasn’t been in the show as much? They didn’t want to write in another baby for Sookie and Jackson? Interesting. Here’s what People Magazine has to say:

“We are so excited about the baby,” McCarthy tells PEOPLE. “I’m hoping the baby has a lot of Ben’s calm traits and less of my spazzy ones.”

McCarthy plays chef Sookie St. James on the CW show. She is getting ready to head to the Sundance Film Festival to showcase her new film The Nines also starring Ryan Reynolds. Falcone, formerly of Joey, recently produced and stars in the independent film Polk Valley.

Congrats to Melissa and Ben! And I can’t wait to check out her movie with Ryan Reynolds! And more Sookie - Lorelai needs her best friend.
