Comments of dismayed fans then began to pour in.
"That is a gross oversight," one commenter wrote. "Honestly would not be the same without you. I'm legitimately bummed."
"No Sookie, no Gilmore Girls!" another fan commented. "It's not the same without Sookie!"
Some gave speculations about why Melissa McCarthy was allegedly not approached for the comeback.

According to a report from Entertainment Weekly, creator Amy Sherman-Palladino assured fans that they would "properly explain" Sookie's absence from the show.
Prior to the confirming the comeback, Movie News Guide reported about how Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos dropped hints about the show's return.
