Chad Michael Murray learned that fans of the series will follow wherever its Gilmore Girls character leads.
The 39-year-old One Tree Hill alum spoke to Today on Wednesday, July 7th, where he recalled his days as a dreary, devilish classmate of Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) at Chilton Prep School about the series to remember fondly.

“One answer I always get about Tristin is how much they love him,” he shared. “They really do. I’ve never had anyone come up to me and say – which you’d think I would get all the time – no one ever came up to me and said, ‘Tristin was an idiot her Maria?’ It never happened. “
