Lucky for Georgia, she’s already been put in the Will, but that doesn’t mean Kenny’s ex-wife isn’t about to go to great lengths to contest it. In Houston, it went full-stop rigor mortis, with her latest husband, Kenny Drexel (Darryl Scheelar), dying of a heart attack. And Georgia, like Rachel, bases all of their moves on whether her romantic relationship status is going well or stale. On the drive from Texas to Massachusetts, however, the tone of it all is decidedly Mermaids, with Ginny driving her mom (as Charlotte Flax often would for Rachel ), looking over at her outfit and saying, “What are you wearing? You look like Vanessa Hudgens at Rydell High.” Georgia retorts, “The fact that your Rizzo is Vanessa and not Stockard is literally everything that’s wrong with your generation.”Īs they settle into the new house, Ginny offers the jibe, “I read that stability is crucial for children during their formative years.” It echoes Charlotte’s sentiments toward Rachel about her own constant state of transience.
She also has a twin brother named Marcus (Felix Mallard), who immediately starts making eyes at Ginny from the moment she moves in across the street. Moving to a town like Wellsbury (a more affluent Stars Hollow sort of place that Ginny likens to “a Crest commercial”) makes Ginny’s biracial background stand out more than usual to her–that is, until she finds friendship with a “Queen Bee”-type named Maxine a.k.a. While Ginny’s father, Zion (Nathan Mitchell), is Black and a nomadic photographer, Austin’s is white and in prison. One way in which she does that brings us to another major difference between this show and GG, which is that Georgia has another child (à la Mermaids)–a boy named Austin (Diesel La Torraca). While Ginny’s mother, Georgia (Brianne Howey), has plenty of iconic, over the top character traits to match Lorelai’s equally as larger than life personality, Ginny manages to outshine her more than Rory ever did with Lorelai. There are, obviously, many distinctions between the OG GG and this G&G–notably that, in Ginny & Georgia, it’s the daughter, Ginny (Antonia Gentry), who gets more banter-y than Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and more “student surpassing the teacher” than Rory (Alexis Bledel) in Gilmore. With one unspoken mother-daughter prototype being that it also has a dash of Mermaids thrown in. It’s easy to see right from the get-go why Ginny & Georgia, the latest hit from Netflix ( despite what Taylor thinks), has drawn comparisons to Gilmore Girls.
