Unseen Characters
- Mr. Kim: Lane's father who is never seen at all but when Lane constantly refers to her parents rather than just her mother one would assume that Lane's father is around somewhere. Given Mrs. Kim's strict Christian beliefs and her disdain for Lorelai, it would be out of character to raise Lane by herself. Many of Lane's family show up at her wedding; however, her father is never identified.
- Al: owner and manager of Al's Pancake World. Al decided several years ago to stop serving pancakes and focus on international cuisine, but kept the "Pancake World" name as he already had napkins made up with the logo. The quality of his food can be erratic, but events such as International Grab Bag Night make it the Gilmores' second favorite eating establishment (after Luke's).
- Bitty Charleston: Hanlin Charleston's wife and a good friend of Emily; often mentioned when Emily hears news of Chilton and Rory before Lorelai does.
- Mrs. Gleason: Kirk's overbearing mother who won't let him have a key and who mothered a lot of children of whom Kirk is the youngest. Kirk still lives with her, but tries to stay out of the house for as long as possible – often inhabiting Luke's until closing time. (She is heard when Kirk leaves a message on Lorelai's answering machine in season 3)
- Sookie's Third Baby: The show finished before Sookie was able to give birth to her third child (Sookie's pregnancy was written in to the last season because the actress was pregnant with her own daughter).
- East Side Tilly: a rival of Miss Patty and Babette. Miss Patty and Babette are always mentioning new gossip of East Side Tilly. All mentions of her are negative in some way.

Famous quotes containing the words unseen and/or characters:
“... the yearly expenses of the existing religious system ... exceed in these United States twenty millions of dollars. Twenty millions! For teaching what? Things unseen and causes unknown!... Twenty millions would more than suffice to make us wise; and alas! do they not more than suffice to make us foolish?”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
“For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
