On the WB's "Gilmore Girls" tonight, at the end, Rory walks into the laundry room at Yale, with "Rusholme Ruffians" playing in the background, and there's a kid with a laundry basket covered in stickers, a giant SMITHS one among them. They both profess their love for the band but he shoots her down when she asks him out for coffee. Sidenote, Alexis Bledel, who plays Rory, is the prettiest girl who ever lived.

Last night (October 21st) the Smiths were not only mentioned, but also played (Rusholme Ruffians)on the WB's Gilmore Girls. The lead character, a freshmen girl in college, mentioned how she loves The Smiths, and as the scene ended "Rusholme Ruffians" played louder and louder.

Rusholme Ruffians was played last night on the WB show Gilmore Girls. The song was playing in the background as Rory and a fellow student were in the washroom doing laundry. The stranger student obviously an avid Smiths fan by The Smiths stickers all over his laundry basket. Rory finds this kid amusing and decides to follow her heart and ask him out, and he turns her down. Not sure if that was an act to demise the character or portray the character of Morrissey not falling for love. But it was definitely odd that they used this character in the show to break poor little rory's heart.

  • and let me comment it's a damn good mini-plot. it would be cliche if they hang around together just because the liking for the same band. haven't we all met people who like the same things we do but we didn't like them or vice versa because of those supeficial things - a nose too big, pathetic and needy eyes, nurdness, you name it...
    life is such that what you might expect and aspire to never happens. you read someone's letters and postings and fall in love and then meet him and you heart isn't home.

  • This show is my guilty pleasure, it airs on Friday Night here so I had to tape it and have just finished watching it.Great to hear the characters discuss The Smiths along with Rusholme Ruffians blasting away and closing the show.
    I think the handsome Smiths fan is gay, this is why he rejected Rory after moving her laundry so it "wouldn't get dirty".
    I hope he pops up again next week.

  • clearly she missed the fact that he not only folded his laundry, as well as hers...
    and he likes the Smiths.
    could it be...Rory's first gay friend???
