THE VIDEOLAND VIEW:

With "Gilmore Girls" in its sixth season, there is already speculation as to whether an end is in sight, but according to Scott Patterson, as long as the creators stick around, then everyone else is on board.

"I think as long as Amy [Sherman] feels that she and her husband Daniel can continue to produce original, fresh storylines, then I see no reason why it shouldn't continue," says Patterson, who plays the loveable Luke. "I think when they've had enough, they'll know it. Hopefully it will be later than sooner." This comes as good news for fans who are pleased to see Patterson's character finally engaged to Lorelai (Lauren Graham). But as with all television shows, nothing is guaranteed. "It's a new kind of tension now," notes Patterson. "Now it's a question of will the marriage come off, will it be delayed, will there be complications?"


MEANWHILE:

Patterson is already beginning to branch out. 'I'm trying to get the option on a life story of an extraordinary Pakistani woman who has suffered some horrible tragedies in her life. I'm going to fly to Chicago at the end of the month and actually meet with this woman. She has quite a story to tell, and I would like to be the one who helps tell it. I'm competing with some studios and some producers in New York to get the rights, but I'm hanging in there."
