To me April's mom Anna was the most despicable character on the show, alongside Christopher's father Straub. She hid April's existence from him for 12 years for no good reason, and would have continued to hide this if April hadn't been a science genius. Then once Luke and April bonded, she tried to take her away from him, to the other end of the country, and deny him any sort of access. I hated her, as much as I hated Straub for still being bitter about Lorelai's pregnancy 16 years later and not making any effort to get to know Rory.
what i also hated about her- was saying that just because luke and lorelai are engaged that he shouldn’t bring lore in april’s life. because engagements break- like the fuck. these were about to get married in a few months and with that comment she destroyed the relationship
I do not get dislike for April. She was great character, I loved her relationship with Luke. She should have been on more in last 2 seasons. The problem was not April, it is Anna whose logic was absurd Anna deciding to keeping Luke from April made no sense. I really liked April when she was on show
I think most people don't dislike April per se. They just hated the fact that April's arrival caused this big rift between Luke & Lorelai resulting to them breaking up and canceling the wedding. It was the writer's fault really. Season 7 was so messed up when ASP left the show. Season 7 could have been better.
Actually, as far as I am concerned, I hated April from the very start not only because she pretty much ruined the show´s two last seasons, but also cause she was totally disrespectful to everyone and thinks too highly of herself. Kind of like this nerdy despicable clasmate we all had to bare in junior high.
@@mateoairaudo5535 I liked April and her father-daughter relationship with Luke. I never saw April really being disrespectful to everyone and thinking too highly of herself I just thought she was quirky and nerdy, but she seemed a bit nice. Bonding with Luke didn't take long.
I agree, April was a great character written into the worst storylines. I think people hate her because of her mother, and the way that her appearing in Luke's impacted his wedding. When it really didn't need to. Every time I rewatch it, I wish that things would unfold differently, but I never wish that April wasn't there.
now I know what Bay Kennish did when she was a child...She always knew she wasn't a Kennish, hahahahaha So now we know what happened to April when she grew up... Ok, this is mind blowing.
the whole April twist felt very fabricated, Anna treated Luke pretty bad, but April herself was beyond cute and very well portrayed by the actress :)) and I loved the Luke-April relationship.
Everyone hated this storyline. But (while I hated Anna as a character) I really liked April and her realtionship with Luke, because we´re always TOLD that he was like a father figure to Rory and we can tell that HE loves Rory, but we never really see Rory reciprocate the feelings. She ackowledges Luke when she happens to see him, but there’s no meaningful scene from her side, or at least I don’t remember one. So it was so nice to see his relationship with April and how she genuinely likes being with him, despite him being kinda boring and not into the same things as her
This is SO MEGA CUTE! How quirky can a pre teen girl get and still be cute as a button? Not to mention the implied parental problems for Luke. Presented as an innocent kind of side dish. Go April! 😂
I never watched Gilmore girls or switched at birth until I watched switched at birth on Netflix. Totally love this actress. My 10 year old watches Austin and alley so I get that sister as well. Both sisters have the same voice but are different at the same time. It is ironic that the producers chose the same actress to do DNA tests in both shows.
I just realized Luke's daughter April is Bay on Switched at Birth she looked completely different then on Gilmore Girls than she does now on Switched at Birth. It's Bay!
Why did people hate April so much? Granted the story line is odd but I felt like April was totally sweet, interesting and supportive of Luke and she never asked him for anything. It was her mother who was a train wreck - although overall seemed like a good, well meaning mom.
Because her entering Luke's life caused trouble in his relationship with Lorelai and many people hated her for that. But I agree, she's sweet. If there's someone they should hate, it's Anna, for hidding her and telling Luke that Lorelai couldn't get involved with April- THAT'S what really harmed his relationship with Lorelai and I can't blame him, he suddenly knew he had a daughter and wanted to be in her life.
Does anybody out there know -- wouldn't this sort of thing be illegal? How could you possibly conduct a DNA test on someone without their consent? It seems like April would be opening her mother, the uncle who helped her with the test (why would he agree???) and her school to the risk of enormous lawsuits. I always thought in real life, the school would have put the kabosh on this real fast.
It's very creepy when a child shows up and says "You're my father" to a man who never knew he even had a child, especially since he's not ready to father a child anyway
hard disagreed with April being damned annoying - she is imo a super sweet nerdy girl. the problem was the convoluted plot and the way Lorelei basically forced the relationship to end by sleeping with Chris, not April.
And just how and why did she pick Luke Danes to get a hair sample from? Did her Mom tell her who she slept with? Did she randomly pick guys from her Mom's high school year book? April's Mom is the worst. Never tells her daughter who her father is? She has to find out with a DNA test? A selfish human being. Disgusting.
Who ever came up with this idea of this kid for Luke should have been fired, the best thing about her was in the Year in the Life thing and she was stoner
I hate he moment I see her arriving in the background, because I know what that means for Luke and Lorelei. But I dont hate April. She was cute. It was Luke, who was stupid here. Hiding it from Lorelei? And when she finally knows totally keeping her out? Why? I just dont get it.
Drama Queen. Quirky sense of humor. Bookworm. Hyper-competitive. *NO* sense of boundaries. Does *NOT* know(or care)about the meaning of the word, "no," thus constitutionally incapable of accepting that for an answer. No matter who her daddy is,she is *DEFINITELY* a Gilmore Girl.
a, she was on this show long before switched at birth even existed. b, that show is totally annoying, and c, her characters on both of those shows are almost unwatchable!!

Gizo02 totally agree! Her only excuse was that he hated kids. Lots of people aren't big fans of kids. Then they have one of their own.

@@Italianrockgirl I totally agree she was a bitch keeping Her Daughter from Luke
April's mum would have been financially better off to move her mother to stars hollow. It made no real sense to move
April “It’s very important that I beat him cause I hate him” 😂
I'm wondering, did she really hate him....... sounds like she could have liked him, but she didn't want to admit it
yessss

just realized April's mom, Anna, is the same one who plays Jess' "step mom" (the woman who Jess finds living with his father in California)!
deekay I'm sorry but are you talking about Jess from New Girl???😂 I'M SO LOST. EVERYONE'S EVERYWHERE.
@Ich It's a small world after all. 😁
Yeah you right always wonder what would of happen if the spin off would of actually happen.

This, to me, will always be the moment GG took a turn that I didn't like. *At.all* . 17 years later, and I shouldn't care anymore, but I do...
This is SO MEGA CUTE! How quirky can a pre teen girl get and still be cute as a button? Not to mention the implied parental problems for Luke. Presented as an innocent kind of side dish. Go April! 😂
The exact moment when most people turned off Gilmore Girls. So sad
I just watched this episode and him suddenly having a daughter was so unnecessary…
It’s so sad that NOW people want to recognize the actress for her work after she had her “big break” as Bay Kennish.
I knew of her work before she was Bay Kennish on Switched at Birth.
I never watched Gilmore girls or switched at birth until I watched switched at birth on Netflix. Totally love this actress. My 10 year old watches Austin and alley so I get that sister as well. Both sisters have the same voice but are different at the same time. It is ironic that the producers chose the same actress to do DNA tests in both shows.
She was so cute here!!! Love it!
And everything goes downhill from here...
😳
It is Bay and shes still trying to find out about her father :)
J
she always wants a dna test 😂
I just realized Luke's daughter April is Bay on Switched at Birth she looked completely different then on Gilmore Girls than she does now on Switched at Birth. It's Bay!
Well her hair is darker in sab.

I understand that it caused problems between Lorelei and Luke but that's not April fault it's her mother's fault
I don't hate her I just can't stand her whiney voice.
I never disliked April I just hated the entire story line or more specifically her mum …
It’s not April ‘s fault luke didn’t tell Lorelai
Luke having a daughter was so stupid
Does anybody out there know -- wouldn't this sort of thing be illegal? How could you possibly conduct a DNA test on someone without their consent?

It's very creepy when a child shows up and says "You're my father" to a man who never knew he even had a child, especially since he's not ready to father a child anyway
she said who is my father. not your my father
Her intro caused GG to jump the shark and L&L to break up, but the real reason I hate April is that she's so damned annoying.
Agree. What a spoiled kid
@@mateoairaudo5535 Rory is worse than april who is a legit child yet Rory keeps acting like an entitled kid
@@JessicaFlores-qd7jq Won't argue that. In fact, Rory's arc is maybe the most dissapointing I've seen on any show ever. Such a waste.
hard disagreed with April being damned annoying - she is imo a super sweet nerdy girl. the problem was the convoluted plot and the way Lorelei basically forced the relationship to end by sleeping with Chris, not April.
April is beyond adorable but i cant stand her mom especially when she got mad at Luke for getting Lorelai to help with April's birthday
loved april!💕🎶💕🎶💕🎶👵
Bay!
her character totally messed up the show...
yellowpepsi3 agreed
Writers messed up the show along with other stupid plots.
No , her mother did . It’s really stupid that people blame an actual child for the breakdown of a relationship.
It's been going downhill from the get-go. He's going straight to Hell from here.
And just how and why did she pick Luke Danes to get a hair sample from? Did her Mom tell her who she slept with? Did she randomly pick guys from her Mom's high school year book?

haha the helmet
She sounds like her sister Laura in her younger years or is it just me ?
She also kinda looks like a younger Ariel Winter.
They do look and sound the same......

ah ah ah Bay !!!!
Luke has a daughter that hasn’t been seen in 12 years shocked 😳 👧
I actually really like April Nardini, extremely unpopular opinion but oh well
I like her too and all the hatred towards her is ridiculous.
If we are to believe this then Anna apparently was sleeping with two other men while dating Luke?
I don't care what anyone says,April is an official Gilmore Girl.
Shocked 😳
Wow 😯
Surprise surprise😮
just imagine jess and april cousin fight
I be shocked to if I was luke😳
Half mushroom half WHAT? Moonunster?
mizithra cheese
How did she not lose the hair? lol
its bay
Hahaha it's Bay
This was jumping the shark 🤦🏽♀️
a, she was on this show long before switched at birth even existed. b, that show is totally annoying, and c, her characters on both of those shows are almost unwatchable!!
klarebear7211 d. Your comment is so annoying I don't even know how you dare criticize her. Lmao. Learn how to use your punctuation marks first😂
Is she the Oliver of this show?
Is April really Luke's daughter???
😮
i name my cat to april after her ;p
What episode is this?
S6 E10
because i hate him!!!---hahahhahah
She stole his DNA lol
I love how she just yanks a hair out of Luke's head lol.
@@shepherdboy9692 Lol true but it ended well
Which is as good as impossible to pull of, esspecially from the back of the head, even more so when it's short. But, for dramatic effects, she did it.
