Gilmore Girls<\/em> mug while she watches the season 6 episode, \u201cSuper Cool Party People.\u201d In the episode, Rory rushes to the hospital to visit Logan after he\u2019s seriously injured while taking part in a stunt with the Life and Death Brigade, a fictional secret society at Yale University.<\/p>\n\u201cAnd I will be here as long as you want me to be,\u201d Rory (Alexis Bledel<\/strong>) says in the clip. \u201cI\u2019ve already located the gift shop and the good cafeteria, good being a relative term. And the maternity ward, in case I want to plan a little practical joke, swap the newborns around.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cEight more days until the Gilmore Girls<\/em> 25th anniversary and today I discovered that, in an alternate timeline, Rory is responsible for Switched at Birth<\/em>?!?!?\u201d Marano incredulously captioned the clip, in which she exclaims \u201cWHAT?!\u201d at the revelation.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\nMarano played one of the leads on Switched at Birth<\/em>, which ran on ABC Family (later rebranded to Freeform) for five seasons from 2011 to 2017. In the series, the now 32-year-old starred as Bay Kennish, a teenage girl living in the suburbs of Kansas City, who discovers during a school lab assignment that her blood type is incompatible with her parents.<\/p>\nSubsequent genetic testing confirms that she not biologically related to her parents, and that she was, you guessed it, switched at birth with another girl living in a low-income neighborhood of East Riverside, Missouri.<\/p>\n
The series deals with how the two families grapple with the mixup, as the girls navigate their new normal and attempt to bond with their biological parents while maintaining a relationship with the families that raised them.<\/p>\n
Interestingly enough, Marano was involved a similar storyline in Gilmore Girls<\/em>. Her character was first introduced in season 6 when Luke (Scott Patterson<\/strong>) learns he has a 12-year-old daughter named April Nardini when she takes a DNA test for a science fair project. Unfortunately, the surprise takes a toll on his relationship with Lorelai (Lauren Graham<\/strong>) and they eventually split up.<\/p>\nAll told, Marano appeared in 13 total episodes between 2005 and 2007. And clearly, she\u2019s still a huge fan of the show\u2014even if she\u2019s not exactly amused by Rory\u2019s nursery prank.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
