TVLine Items: Alex Kingston's Gilmore Gig, Bad Guy Is Girlboss Dad and More
River Song has teleported into Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.
Doctor Who vet Alex Kingston will appear in Netflix’s revival of the late WB/CW series — but she won’t necessarily be in Stars Hollow.
During a recent fan convention in Miami, Kingston revealed that she plays “a very eccentric character” in multiple installments. The actress — who recurs on Arrow as Dinah Lance — also divulged that she filmed her scenes “on location” and they may have been opposite Alexis Bledel’s Rory.
