Melissa McCarthy recalls the ‘really hard’ rule on ‘Gilmore Girls’ set

It was hard.

It was really hard.

But to me, that was normal, because it was my first show."Melissa explained, "So I was like, 'Oh, our scripts are 93 pages, and you can’t change a contraction, even if you get them that morning and it’s a 10-page oner. and that’s just what it was.

I love that she had her own style, and I love that she built that world."However, the actress added that the show creator Amy Sherman-Palladino fought to give style to Gilmore Girls.She noted, "I love that she fought for it, because a woman running that show at that time, I think you kind of had to be like, 'It’s my way or the highway.'"I think she had to probably fight….

And I’m glad she did, because it stood the test of time.

People really take ownership of that show," Melissa noted.
