It was a time for reunions during Sunday nights 2025 Emmys.

Gilmore Girls stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel took the stage on a set that replicated their Stars Hollow home in the series. The former co-stars, who famously played mother and daughter Lorelei and Rory in the WB show, honored the 25th anniversary of the series that lasted for seven seasons and the revival Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.

Twenty-five years ago, a show called Gilmore Girls apparently took the season of fall hostage, Graham said. (Based on several years of streaming data, fall is when a lot of people watchGilmore Girlson Netflix.) Paying homage to their quick dialogue and witty banter their characters had throughout the show, Graham and Bledel continued to reflect on how, despite being a legacy show, they were a very small show that had nothing.

In spite of our autumnal dominance, Gilmore was actually a very small show, meaning we had no money, Bledel said.

If there was a birthday at The Drew Carey Show next door, they would send us their leftover sheetcake, Graham said.

We saved up all year long to have one snow episode, Bledel said before Graham mentioning that E.R. also filmed on the same Warner Brothers lot. And then ER would wet down their street and wash it all away.

They had Clooney! They couldve let us have the damn snow, Graham quipped.

In celebration of the shows anniversary this October, a new documentary,Searching For Stars Hollow, is in the works with starsKelly Bishop,Jared PadaleckiandChad Michael Murray, among others.

Stars from Law Order including Christopher Meloni, Ice-T, Tony Goldwyn, S. Epatha Merkerson and Mariska Hargitay also gathered on the Emmys stage to celebrate the shows anniversary. The original Law Order show premiered on Sept. 13, 1990, marking its35th anniversary in 2025.

Elsewhere in at the Emmys, co-stars starring on current shows also presented together including Jenna Ortega and Catherine Zeta Jones from Netflixs Wednesday, Walton Goggins and Parker Posey from The White Lotus, and Sterling K. Brown with James Marsden and Julianne Nicholson for Hulus Paradise. Brown revealed on his Instagram that he delayed surgery for his torn Achilles heel in order to attend the Emmys.

So, [I] gotta have surgery, he said, adding, Gonna do it after the Emmys so I can motivate myself and go and try to celebrate with my cast and the producers ofParadisebecause we got recognized.

Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters also joined the stage together and shared how they missed working together. Meanwhile, Ray Romano and Brad Garrett reunited and also went down memory lane, recalling how Everybody Loves Raymond won in the comedy series category over 20 years ago. They also compared their current careers, with Garrett joking that hes appearing on The Dog Whisperer while Romano is starring in a Scorsese film.

You wanna know something Ray, I just thought I would have been back here sooner, Garrett said. I just thought that after winning the Emmy I would have worked more. Thats all. Dont think that if you win tonight your life is going to change.

The next time im on the Emmys it will be in memoriam, Garrett said. Am I going to make the cut?
