Why is Lane's dad never in Gilmore Girls?

Lane's dad, Mr. Kim, was intentionally kept off-screen in the original Gilmore Girls to emphasize the central mother-daughter dynamic between Lane and her strict mother, Mrs. Kim, mirroring and contrasting Lorelai and Rory's relationship, though he made a brief, non-speaking cameo in the revival A Year in the Life. Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino felt his presence wasn't needed dramatically, but theories suggest he might have been working, a missionary, or away for business, and he was finally seen waving at a town festival in the revival.

Lorelai and Rory's slimness, despite their junk food diet, is explained in the show by theories like fast metabolisms, high coffee intake (appetite suppressant), and lots of walking, but realistically, it's a TV trope where actors often pick at food, use spit buckets, and are naturally thin, creating an unrealistic "cool girl" image where they eat anything without consequence. Their constant talking and animated nature also imply high energy expenditure, and the show downplays the actual quantity of food consumed, focusing more on the idea of their indulgence.
