However, she said the way things have now come full circle is the “most pleasant surprise” since she was king of “peace with the whole thing”.
Kebbel said, “I’m flattered. I mean, this whole Justice for Lindsay thing, it warms my heart and brings me so much joy because wherever Lindsay is, it makes me smile and wink at her. I’m like, see? People are seeing you now, girl. Good for you.”
It is relevant to mention that Gilmore girls ran from October 2000 to May 2007.
