It’s strange I’ve just realized Sherry was portrayed by Amick. It’s also strange, to me at least, that you don’t mention her “other most famous character” (imo), that of Shelly Johnson from 1990′s smash hit, Twin Peaks, the series by David Lynch and Mark Frost that kind of revolutionized the “soap” genre. (For some reason I think even the creators of Gilmore Girls paid a kind of tribute to TP through Sherry’s character: SheRRy – SheLLy, Tins_dale_ – Dale Cooper of TP… but it might be just me imagining things. Having just rewatched TP and entered a kind of “fan mode”, it’s easy to do that. :))

Anyway, cool article, thank you. Now you made me want to rewatch Amick’s episodes from GG too. :)

At first I didn’t anything against Sherry’s character. I was glad that she was in C.’s life so that Lorelai could finally move on with her life.

But then, in my mind, she’s the one responsible for the Luke & Lorelai debacle. If she had not been irresponsible, if she hadn’t walked out on C. and Gigi, C. wouldn’t have resorted to Lorelai and blah blah blah.
I know this is a shortcut but I just wish they stayed happily ever after so that C. was no longer an option!

As you can understand from this post, I really don’t like Christopher.

only 3 episodes? i seriously thought she was in a lot more than just 3— good thing. i hated her character. eventhough it wasn’t much of an appearance– she did have a huge impact on the show. it showed the jealousy in Lorelai when we first met her, and of course the great stink mentioned above.

and im not looking forward to seeing her on Gossip Girl (her voice is annoying and i don’t want her with Nate!!)

I can’t believe that Madchen Amick was in only 3 episodes of Gilmore Girls (although it might technically be 4, because in “The Bracebridge Dinner” if you pause on the photo Christmas card that Christopher and Sherry sent – when Rory turns it toward the camera – the picture looks like the actors David Sutcliffe and Madchen Amick holding a dog … which is mentioned by Lorelai and Rory in that conversation, but the dog is never seen or heard from again – hmmmmm). I’ve obviously seen the DVDs way too many times!
The character of Sherry Tinsdale had a much bigger impact on the series than these three appearances by Madchen Amick would indicate … she is mentioned in conversation before she appears, is talked about by others (like Emily) while Sherry and Christopher are together, and then leaves a mess in Christopher and Gigi’s lives when she takes off for Paris. I thought that Amy Sherman-Palladino did a masterful job of keeping “Sherry” alive as a character for several seasons (haven’t done a complete count of the mentions of Sherry, but they were plentiful).
Her disappearance certainly gave scope to the story line of Christopher having to experience single parenthood, and getting to have a taste of what Lorelai was handling for so many years (although Lorelai managed without nannies and inherited wealth …)
