SPOILERS: Executive producer of hit CW show gives up big secret for next season.
LOS ANGELES--Stars Hollow is about to get a little more crowded.
CW's Gilmore Girls. Gilmore Girls executive producer David Rosenthal, while speaking to TV.com at the TV Critic's Press Association summer tour, said that in the coming season fans can expect the arrival of a new Gilmore person.
March 13, 2006 -- 'THE Gilmore Girls" is promising a cliff- hanger finale - pretty much ensuring the mother-daugher classic will be back for at least one more season.
Amy Sherman-Palladino, the show's creator, says this cliff-hanger will involve both Rory and Lorelai.
"They each have their own separate one," Sherman-Palladino tells TVGuide.com. "It's now about their two [romantic] relationships," the creator says. "It's closer to the [Season 4 cliff-hanger] when Rory slept with Dean, but it's a little bit more pow!"
The long-running series - centered on the reversed-roles relationship between a super-responible young girl and her less-than-stable mother - has been the biggest ratings-getter on The WB network. But The WB is going out of business this summer to merge with UPN.
That has left the fate on "Gilmore" up in the air.
"At some point [this season], there will be a baby on Gilmore Girls," Rosenthal told TV.com.
In addition to a visit from the stork, he said Gilmore fans can expect more screen time for Rory's dad. Rory will also fill the vacuum left by Logan's move to London by dating some new guys.
Earlier in the day, Rosenthal and Gilmore stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel spoke Monday at the convention, being held at the Ritz-Carlton in Pasadena.
Rosenthal discussed how the departure of show creator Amy Sherman-Paladino had affected him.
"[Amy] made it very easy for me. She created this wonderful, amazing show ... and wished me all the luck in the world," he said. "She's left us with a very full plate, [but] I think it's going to make for a great season."
When asked how she felt about fans' negative reaction to the Luke-Lorelai romance, Graham defended the story arc.
"It wasn't my favorite stuff to play ... but I thought it was a believable conflict," Graham said. "If everything had gone the way fans wanted it to go, the show would be over."
Both actresses have budding film careers, Graham in the upcoming Evan Almighty and Bledel in Sin City and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Graham spoke of the rumor that she and costar Bledel were not keen on doing another season of the show after the upcoming seventh.
"I read the first script. I love it. So a lot of things could happen," the actress said. "The fact is, our legal contracts our up, so you begin to imagine, 'Well, what if?' in a different way than before."
The actresses were philosophical when asked about their being passed up for Emmy nominations again. This year's rule changes in Emmy voting were supposed to give shows like Gilmore a better chance.
"I didn't know what was happening with that," Bledel said. "I just think that our show has never been big with the Emmys."
"Yeah, I read a lot of Architectural Digest," Graham quipped to laughter. "I try to stay out of what the chatter is in all show business."
"If there are still people of the opinion that we should be included, that's really nice," Bledel added.
Rosenthal said he is not taking the same approach that he took in the last season of the show.
"I am approaching it like this is this season. My goal is to do 22 episodes ... and let the rest take its course."
Gilmore returns to the tube on Wednesday, September 26.

I obsess over this show.
I'm not sure exactly what will happen next season, but I hope Luke and lorelai get married. I am afraid that if they do, a lot ofteh viewers will leave because the hype is over. I wouldn't leave the show. I heard of a Gilmore baby for next season, but I'm not sure about my position on that.
I think it is a join partnership, if the new writers will keep the fans intrigued, the ratings will stay up and the show has a better chance of coming back for an 8th season.

I think that Jess might be back on. I have no idea what will happen between Luke and Lorali. I hope that Suki and Jackson don't get caught with the weed. Maybe Kirk will find the weed. I would like Tristen to come back on the show. Maybe he could date Paris or Rory. I bet that Lane gets pregnant. It should be an interesting season!
