i actually REALLY liked april. Now for starters, young vanessa marano is absolutely adorable. Secondly while I know people say that her storyline was completely unnecessary but I really liked seeing Luke develop a relationship with his daughter after healing his relationship with Jess and Liz. It was really nice seeing him as a father. And yes, I completely understand that most people blame her for Lorelai and Luke breaking up and hate Luke for not telling Lorelai about her (completely justified criticism btw) but I honestly don’t think she’s to blame and instead just brought to the surface some underlying issues with their relationship (i.e horrible communication) Overall April is adorable and whether her storyline was “necessary” or not I will defend this girl until the day I die.
I liked April as a concept. Even her storyline for the most part was pretty interesting.
However it was jarring, she was used as an unnecessary wedge to drive Luke and Lorelei apart (S6 being the great dumbing down of Luke and removal of a huge chunk of his character development). Her mother was almost cartoonishly "evil" insomuch as she was the "bad" lorelei, to Lorelei's "good".
Lorelei and Anna were too similar, same with April and Rory. Unfortunately April existed solely to sow discord, and while the bits around that might have been good, her main story just felt unnecessary and like a step backwards.
