On 5 October 2000, Gilmore Girls aired it's very first episode. We were introduced to our favourite mother-daughter duo, Lorelai and Rory Gilmore and immediately, we were hooked.

Over the seven seasons, we watched as our favourite characters grew up, fell in love and got their hearts broken. And most of us who loved the show, have watched it at least one time over.

So, to remind you of your favourite characters from Stars Hollow once again, here's what the cast of Gilmore Girls are doing 20 years later.

How well do you really know Gilmore Girls? Take the quiz. Post continues below.

Acclaimed actress, Kelly Bishop played Lorelai's mother, Emily Gilmore. Throughout the show, the mother and daughter had a complicated relationship.

Out of the entire Gilmore Girls cast, Melissa McCarthy has gone on to be the most successful. Since playing Lorelai's slightly loopy best friend, Sookie St. James, McCarthy has taken Hollywood by storm.

After the show ended, she continued in television, appearing on shows such as Samantha Who? and Mike and Molly.

But it was when she began appearing in films, that she found big success. Some of her most notable comedies include Bridesmaids, Spy, Identity Theft, The Heat and Ghostbusters. 

Most recently, McCarthy announced that she will play Ursula in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. 

On a personal note, she married fellow comedian and long-term partner Ben Falcone in 2005. They have two daughters, Vivian and Georgette.
