It's official: Sookie St. James will not be appearing in Netflix's Gilmore Girls revival. Or at least she's pretty sure she won't be.

"I don't think I am," Melissa McCarthy tells E!'s Marc Malkin while promoting her new movie, The Boss, after he asks if she is returning to Stars Hollow. "I didn't actually get asked to do it. But I think they thought I was busy, and then by the time it did come up, then I actually was."

While that is some pretty unfortunate news for big fans of the show and of Sookie, we can at least rest easy knowing that McCarthy fully supports the revival, and even that she plans to watch it.

"I'm actually thrilled that it's happening," she says. "I loved that show, and I think the fans for that show are super loyal and great and I will watch every single one of them."

So would she step back into Sookie's kitchen if the revival were to continue on for more than one season?

"I want to cook again. I want to put salt and then stir," she jokes. "That was seven years of my life and it was really great. I was proud of that show."
