LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- Gilmore Girls fans have strong feelings about Rory's three main love interests and Alexis Bledel said fans will get some "closure" in the new episodes.

Bledel told Us Weekly that the upcoming episodes of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life will explore each of Rory's major suitors, Dean Forester, played by Jared Padalecki, Jess Mariano, played by Milo Ventimiglia, and Logan Huntzberger, played by Matt Czuchry.

"I think there is satisfying closure for any fans of any of the three couples that tend to get some attention," Bledel said. "But they're very different interactions. I would say each one of them [gets] closure in a different way."

Bledel also said the storyline will focus on Rory's career struggles as a newcomer in a field that is going through some major changes.

"She started her work as a journalist at the same time that newspapers were going away," Bledel said. "Her field changed dramatically as she was just kind of getting up and running. So that's where we pick up with her."

For Rory's mom, Lorelai, the focus in the new episodes will be the death of Gilmore patriarch, Richard, played by the late Edward Herrmann.

"I would say not much has changed," said Lauren Graham, who plays Lorelei, "which is kind of where we start our story because she's maybe had a case of slight arrested development, and something about losing her dad is going to propel her forward. But in most ways, in all the ways I loved the character, it's the same."

Netflix's continuation of the series will premiere on the streaming site on Nov. 25.
