Vanessa Marano acknowledged April was not the most beloved character during an appearance at the 2016 “Gilmore Girls” Fan Fest. She noted that she has been approached by fans who have let her know they found her voice grating. “That character was literally so hated,” said the “Switched at Birth” actress. She also suggested she believed unhappy fans were overreacting as Luke and Lorelai eventually became husband and wife.
During the panel, Marano admitted that she was an avid viewer of “Gilmore Girls” when she auditioned for the role. She shared that she was aware April would hurt Luke’s love life, which caused her to feel conflicted. “I was like tormented because I don’t want them to break up but at the same time I want to be on ‘Gilmore Girls.’ I had a struggle and ultimately that part of me won, the part that loved ‘Gilmore Girls’ and loved employment,” quipped Marano.
During a November 2016 interview with TVLine, Marano shared that she enjoyed having the chance to redeem her character while filming the show’s revival, “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.” She also revealed she was pleased that April was presented as a frazzled MIT graduate on the brink of a breakdown.
