Why is jason stiles called digger

Both Emily and Lorelai used it disparagingly during his time on the show. The childhood nickname was not a problem in and of itself, but how he got the nickname was. Jason and Lorelai never mentioned the origin of the name. Sadly, fans are unlikely ever to find out why Jason was called Digger. He left the series in season 4 and only returned for a brief cameo in Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.

The Gilmore Girls revival on Netflix wasn't messing around when it came to reuniting almost all of the original cast members. It was a brief, but awkward scene in which Jason "Digger" Stiles managed to do all of the following: Hit on Lorelai after her father's funeral, call her by an offensive teenage nickname, and reaffirm that Lorelai was right to kick him to the curb in favor of Luke in Season 4.

Digger makes his grand revival entrance at the reception following Richard Gilmore's funeral. It was somewhat odd that he was there at all since his storyline ended with Digger suing Richard after being cut out of their business partnership. The lawsuit was the catalyst for Digger and Lorelai's breakup, even though he tried to get her back by repeatedly ignoring her requests to leave during her test run at the Dragonfly Inn.
