Logan Huntzberger has always been a controversial character among Gilmore Girls fans, and now the actor who portrayed him, Matt Czuchry, is sharing his thoughts.

On Tuesday, April 2, while appearing on The Talk, Czuchry, 46, was questioned about a TikToker's observations regarding Logan's behavior in his relationship with Rory Gilmore. The TikToker suggested that Logan's inconsistencies may have influenced some women to have lower standards in their own relationships.

"We shouldn't expect things to be perfect, whether it's relationships or anything else," Czuchry explained. He praised the show for its timeless appeal and credited the creators, Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino, as amazing artists.

Czuchry went on to say, "Each character, like Logan, Jess, and Dean, have their own strengths and weaknesses, just like we all do. The charm of the show lies in these flawed characters with their unique qualities."

Gilmore Girls, which aired from 2000 to 2007 on The WB (later The CW), follows the story of Lorelai Gilmore (played by Lauren Graham) and her daughter Rory Gilmore (played by Alexis Bledel). The series begins when Rory is 16 years old. Throughout the show, Rory navigates various relationships with Dean (Jared Padalecki), Jess (Milo Ventimiglia), and Logan (Matt Czuchry).

Gilmore Girls fans have debated for years about who was Rory's best boyfriend - Dean, Jess, or Logan. Each guy's flaws have been pointed out by devoted fans, but the actors themselves have chosen not to take sides.

"Everyone has their own opinion on who would be the best match for Rory based on their strengths and weaknesses," Czuchry explained. "I believe that as long as we're not aiming for perfection, then I'm satisfied with the outcome."

Czuchry, Ventimiglia, aged 46, and Padalecki, aged 41, all returned to their roles in the 2016 Netflix revival of Gilmore Girls, titled A Year in the Life, each with varying levels of involvement. In the series, Czuchry's character, Logan, was engaged in an extramarital relationship with Rory. The revival ended with the revelation that Rory was pregnant, although it was never confirmed if Logan was the father.

Amy and Dan shared with me the identity of the baby's father, saying, "You can share this with anyone you choose." However, I have chosen not to reveal this information out of respect for them. This show belongs to Amy, Dan, Lauren, and Alexis, not me. It doesn't feel right for me to disclose who it may or may not be.

In addition, if there is a season 2 of Year in the Life, they may decide to change the storyline. This is why I have kept their secret from the set undisclosed.
