If the Gilmore Girls' Stars Hollow residents and Grey's Anatomy Grey Sloan Memorial doctors all hung out, who would be BFFs and who would be enemies?
At first blush, TV dramasGilmore GirlsandGrey's Anatomyseem super different. One is about a mother and daughter in an adorable town, and the other focuses on doctors saving lives. At their core, though, each show is about the relationships that the characters have with each other, specifically the friendships. From Lane and Rory to Sookie and Lorelai, the Stars Hollow residents are always there for each other. And onGrey's, Meredith has definitely created her own family over the years.

If the gang in Stars Hollow and Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital started hanging out, who would be the best of friends, and who would start fighting?
Rory made some poor decisionsjust like April did. Both characters have a lot in common, as they're studious, intelligent, and want to do well in school and work. They both freak out when they make a mistake and when something doesn't go their way. One perfect example: when Rory sleeps in and misses her big Chilton English exam, and when April fails her board exams the first time she takes them.
April and Rory seem like they would be great friends. They could talk about their dreams for the future and their respective careers, and they would find each other's jobs really compelling.
Lorelai isinfamous for her sense of humorand that wouldn't fly with Meredith, who is known as the "dark and twisty" girl at the hospital.
While Meredith has become a little friendlier in recent seasons, she doesn't do super well with new people. Chances are, Lorelai would burst into the room in a caffeinated frenzy, and her fasttalk and pop culture references would be too much for theGrey's Anatomyprotagonist to handle. It's hard to see these two having anything in common because while they both have tough relationships with family, Meredith's story is much worse.
Cristina and Luke have a lot in common personality-wise. They're both smart and a little tough to get to know, and they don't suffer fools or indulge in random small talk.

It's easy to picture these two characters becoming friends, although it might take them a little while to open up to each other. At first, they would sit in relative silence, and then they would realize that they liked spending time together. Cristina would fit in well at Luke's diner as she would enforce the "no cell phones" policy, and Luke would be interested in Cristina's no-nonsense approach to life and work.
Parisdoesn't have a good relationship with her familyand she has experienced some tough moments. In general, it's hard for her to get along with most people.
If Paris met Jackson, she would be jealous of his career success, and while he might not find her as intimidating as other people do, he wouldn't be impressed by her attitude. The two would verbally spar for a bit before deciding that they're probably not meant to be friends, and they wouldn't have much to talk about.
Over many episodes featuring her friendship with Lorelai, fans got to know how sweet and hilarious Sookie is. She would be a great friend to Arizona, too, as they share sunny personalities and positive outlooks.
Sookie would think that Arizona is the greatest because she helps kids, and she would be happy to invite her over and cook her a fabulous and delicious meal.
Amelia and Jess actuallyshare a dark, sarcastic, and negative view of life at least most of the time. Amelia has faced some hard times, from addiction to loss, and Jess didn't grow up with the safety and security of a happy home life.

A friendship between Amelia and Jess would definitely turn ugly, though. These two would start talking about their difficult backgrounds and all they would bond about is sadness. They each need friends who can balance them out, not be exactly the same as them.
Both Catherine and Emily tend to "keep up with the Joneses" and they want to live a fancy lifestyle. They would like each other immediately and talk about their fabulous lives.
Emily would be impressed with Catherine's career and how she has risen through the ranks, and Catherine would find Emily to be a tough, strong, and intelligent woman. It's easy to see Catherine joining Emily for Friday Night Dinners or some of herincredible parties.
It's hard to think of two characters who have less in common. Owen is a former soldier with PTSD who cares deeply about his coworkers and patients, and Logan is a richguy with a sad past who doesn't know how good he has it.
If these two characters started talking to each other, it's safe to say that they would walk away pretty soon after. Owen would ask about Logan's life and work, and Logan wouldn't impress him, as he doesn't have much of a work ethic or desire to help others.
While Paris often says harsh things, she's a good friend to those she cares about, and it's easy to imagine her getting along well with Richard.

Paris respects people who are intelligent and have a lot of experience, and she would love to learn from Richard. She would find his career fascinating and would ask him a million questions. While he might be a bit overwhelmed at first, he would find her fascinating and funny, and the two would meet for intelligent discussions over coffee.
Alex becomes a nicer person as the show goes on, but it's fair to say that he and Luke share a surly, grumpy personality.
However, these two characters would be too similar to get along well. Alex and Luke would probably get on each other's nerves pretty quickly, and neither one would be interested in continuing to hang out. Alex also has a tendency to get angry, and rather than take the time to get to know Luke, he might walk away before they can really talk.
