The writers, creators and directors of the show wanted to establish Stars Hollows as a place that celebrated community shown through many of the town meetings and town fundraisers or celebrations (Diffrient, 2010:108). The DNA of the show is found within its special existence. The show develops two ‘worlds’, one in Stars Hollow and one in Hartford. This spatial divide with Hartford being 30 minutes away from Stars Hollow helps the viewer to establish a difference between the towns (Diffreint, 2010:110). The viewer is meant to view Hartford as a town that accepts binary values as opposed to Stars Hollow that rejects it (Diffrient, 2010:110). Essential to the DNA of Gilmore Girls are the supporting characters-Taylor the town’s mayor, Miss Patty the dance teacher, Kurt, Michel, Sookie the clumsy cook, Jackson- that add to the shared ethos of the town and therefore adding to the essence of Gilmore Girls (Diffrient, 2010:110).

At the end of Season One Rachel, Luke’s girlfriend, tells Lorelai that Luke is in love with her causing her to question her serious relationship with Max. The show uses conventions from numerous genetic registers- family and geography as well as traditions to create characters and the spaces around them (Difffrient, 2010:115). Another narrative structure of the series is to introduce one of the three-structure storylines based in the town of Stars Hollow, often focusing on festivals or rituals preformed in the town (Diffrient,
