I just feel like hes here.

This is an emotional experience.

It has the loss of a person I love around it.

I went to dinner with Ed frequently.

It was a real loss of a friend, says Graham, her eyes filling with tears.

(I didnt used to be [emotional]!

she says with a laugh.)

Its sad without my darling Edward Herrmann, she says, recalling happier days.

We used to do our crossword puzzle together in the makeup trailer.

Gilmorecreator Amy Sherman-Palladino chose to honor Herrmann through the storytelling.

Like, what direction am I walking?

[Herrmanns death] left a big void, but Amy honored it beautifully.

Hes throughout … these stories.

Its a wonderful homage to him as a person and to his character as well.

Its nice to have him around.
