'Dont read anything into it': There was a hint that Melissa McCarthy might make an appearance on Gilmore Girls: Seasons as former co-star Yanic Truesdale shared an Instagram photo on Saturday
Melissa - who played the beloved Sookie St. James - said the absence was not her fault as she was not on the list of confirmed returning cast members for the show.

'But the thing I have said is, "Look, if Melissa is available and has an afternoon free, I’ll write her a scene, " ' Amy continued.

She added: 'Melissa was one of us. If she has a spare moment to run over — even if for just a cameo — we would be totally game. And if it’s a last-minute thing, I would write her in and we would figure it out. That’s the way we left it.'
But the Mike & Molly star was then spotted on Twitter telling a fan that she hadn't been invited in the first place.
Melissa told the fan, who begged her to appear: 'Thanks for the invite, but sadly no one asked me or Sookie to come back to Stars Hollow. Wish them all the best!!'
Filming of the four 90-minute episodes started in Los Angeles on February 2 and is currently scheduled to last until June 30.
