Paris' Career

Character Discussion - General

In season 5, Doyle gets sick and Paris calls Nanny to take care of him. Rory and Doyle both ask why Paris can't do it and she tells them "sick people freak me out," even though she's pre-med. In AYITL we find out that she has a career as a fertility/IVF specialist--this is the perfect career for someone who wants to be a doctor but can't deal with sick people!

I had forgotten this detail, but it's a nice connection from AYITL to the original series.

Paris is my favorite part of AYITL, it felt really authentic to me. And considering at the end of the original series she was contemplating if she wanted to choose Doyle or her career, I’m so happy for her that she was able to do both full force

But in the end she and Doyle get divorced, so she didn’t really get to do both.

I mostly loved Revival Paris but I haaaated that scene of her breaking down over Tristan. It was like she hadn’t grown or matured at all in 15 years.

Also, much like Paris, her kids love their nanny and they cry when she’s not around.

What always confused me is didn't Paris' Nanny die during the summer before they started at Yale? Was the Nanny looking after Doyle a different Nanny?

Hm. I believe Paris said she was gone and phrased in in a way that sounded like she had died but she really just moved to another state for some family reason? I could be remembering it completely wrong though.

Yep, this is real. Rory even says, "So.... she's alive." or something

Didn’t Paris say that Nanny moved to Boise and opened a pupuseria?

Good catch on that inconsistency, I never caught it!

Ah, you are right. I could remember her saying "we lost Nanny" but not that she moved to Boise!
