"Gilmore Girls" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has said she wished she had the opportunity to write the final ever episode of the show.
The show's creator left the beloved series ahead of it's final seventh season following a contract dispute, leaving the show in the "hands of its writers".
Speaking at the ATX Television Festival in Austin, Sherman-Palladino spoke openly about the drama's last outing, said The Hollywood Reporter.
"The last season was the last season, it happens. We left it in the hands of our writers. It wasn't like they got Saddam Hussein to come in," she said.
Sherman-Palladino shared with the audience that she did hope she would receive a phone call asking for her to return, but it never happened.
"It's always a bummer when you don't get to end it," she said. "I had hoped maybe that there would have been a call, 'Hey, it's the last episode, do you want to come back?' And there wasn't."
The creator made clear there was no bad blood over the decision, adding: "But that's okay, that's not the way it works in Hollywood, where there's rules.
"I'm incredibly amazed at what we got to do. The legacy is there, clearly, and I'm still on speaking terms with the entire cast. When does that happen?
"It was this wonderful, golden period. Organically, things happened the way they were going to happen."
"Gilmore Girls" starred Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel and aired from 2000 to 2007. In 2014, all 154 episodes were made available on Netflix in the US.
Star Scott Patterson has recently said he is hopeful for a "big event" reunion, while many cast members will talk at the ATX Television Festival this weekend.
