Now, Sherman-Palladino is setting the record straight.
Social media makes people angry at each other for no reason, she tells EW.
Theres nothing malicious going on.
When Sherman-Palladino and her husband/Gilmoreco-producer Daniel Palladino first pitched the revival, they were asked about McCarthy.
Netflix was like, Wed really like Melissa.
I said, Wed really like Melissa too!'
Ive been told by her people for months, Cant happen.
As for whether McCarthy knows how badly Amy wants her?
This business of people and managers and reps. All I can tell the fans is we love her.
She was a big part of the show … Theres nothing juicy or hidden here.
Weve just put it out in the universe: Were here until May 10.
I know what the scene is.
Ill pre-light it for her.
She can drive up, run in, shoot it, and run out.
I can get her in and out in two hours.
If she finds that time, I dont care when it is, we will make it happen.
