S3 of Gossip Girl starts soon and I know there are some fellow fans on here so get chatting.

I can't wait! I really hope Dan and Serena get back together but at the same time I want Lily and Rufus to be together too!

[Lauren]

I desperately want Dan and Serena to get together (as you can see by my sig, haha!).


[spoil]But I've been reading the GG official "blog" thing which kinda gives teasers about second series - and apparently D was "spotted" flirting with some girls. I hope it's not true, I liked Dan when he was nice and innocent and loyal, haha (though that was pretty buggered up after Georgina!).[/spoil]

I have some spoilers coming up in a sec!

[spoil]I'm pretty sure Serena and Dan will be back together, according to the set photos.[/spoil]

Spoilers have emerged from the first Hamptons-based episode of The CW's delicious teen soap "Gossip Girl" which kicks off its sophomore year on September 1. The episode featuring a shirtless shot of Chace Crawford's character Nate in his underwear will be filled with steamy, but secretive summer sex.

Nathaniel Archibald turns into a boy toy as he begins a secret affair with a married older woman named Catherine Mason. But as the couple get together for yet another hot appointment of afternoon sex, Catherine panics at the sound of her husband's car pulling into driveway.

Meanwhile, Dan (Penn Badgley) gets a little make-out action of his own as he seduces a beautiful girl at the library where he assists Sebastian Harris, a man described by the writers as a "literary lion." But the apprenticeship comes to an abrupt end, when Dan lets Sebastian down.

Crap! Sorry I took your job I didn't realize your post until I clicked post reply and saw the topic review

[MrGaryy]

Lol, no probs, mine are different anyway, lol!

[Lauren]

[spoil]Nooooooo! Why is Dan flirting and getting with other women LMAO. Seriously, I want it to be him and Serena - no-one else involved![/spoil]

Thanks for the spoilers juicy and Gazbo

[dbh-g]

The two who play d and s are together in real life! unless im hugely mistaken.

[spoil]A while back on Perez Hilton it said that Georgina is coming bak for the new series as a regular![/spoil]

[melanie]

[spoil]As far as Kristin has heard, Michelle Trachtenberg has not been asked to return for season 2.

"[Gossip Girl creator Josh Schwartz] has told everyone that everyone is coming back and that it's going to be like a crazy, wild cast of a million people," Kristin reported Trachtenberg as saying. "So I'd love to, I think it'd be great fun. It's a character I've just thoroughly enjoyed...and pretty sexy."

We ended last season of Gossip Girl with all the main characters ostensibly swapping romantic partners. Dan (Penn Badgley) and Serena (Blake Lively) broke up, not in small part due to Georgie's meddling. Serena turned her attention toward Nate (Chace Crawford), while Dan and Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) seemed to get cozy in Brooklyn. Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) seemed to be headed for a summer of coupled bliss in Tuscany, but each turned their attention toward new interests.

The question is, what is going to happen to each of these couples come fall?

Well, according to Kristin, the future is not looking good for Dan and Serena. In season 2, these two erstwhile lovebirds will be anything but happily in love. As for Chuck and Blair? Well, fans of this naughty duo can shout for joy (or celebrate by destroying a nemesis or two), for Kristin hears that they will actually become "the couple" of the show very soon. How very Cruel Intentions!

Nate will have a lady in his life as well who will cause him much angst, but it won't be Serena or Blair. Dan will spend the summer working for a Norman Mailer-esque character.

According to Kristin's inside sources at the CW, there may also be some shakeups in the network. CW president Dawn Ostroff is reportedly looking for a new job. Thankfully, this will not affect our beloved Gossip Girl at all.

I've decided to make this a spoiler thread so there's no need to post in spoilers anymore. It just makes things easier.

[Lauren]

Thanks Gazbo, I was gonna suggest it before

Okay, so what are our general thoughts on D+S? They're not gonna get together for the majority/all of S2? But may get together at end of S2/S3? Aaah.

I really don't want them to have different partners in this break though, haha.

[MrGaryy]

Lol, let's make it a rule that you have to post the characters names in initials in this thread, for fun!

Yeah I really would like them together, it just seems a bit Ross/Rachel esque with the whole "You know they'll get back eventually, can't they just hurry up!" type saga.

I'm not sure how I feel about B and C stepping into they're shoes. What do you think?

[MrGaryy]

Ooh, it looks like B and C might not be the new power couple after all:

His name is Marcus, he'll be gettin' freaky with Blair and feuding with Chuck
It looks like Blair Waldorf, played by Leighton Meester, will be gettin’ herself a new boyfriend (and Chuck Bass, played by Ed Westwick, will be gettin’ a new rival) in the upcoming second season of Gossip Girl and People magazine has sniffed out a few deets about her new man. Here are a few pics of Leighton on the NY streets sets of GG with Patrick Heusinger, who will be playing a new GG character named Marcus along with a few deets about his role on the show:

Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) was spotted on more than one occasion with a new — and very good-looking — guy while spending time in the country this summer. The same guy was also spotted getting sweaty over a game of squash with Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick). So who is this guy and what’s his story? Read on to find out. The guy’s name is Marcus (Patrick Heusinger), a source close to the show tells PEOPLE. “He’s Blair’s new love interest and Chuck’s rival,” the source says. “Blair met him in Europe, introduced by Ben, whom she flew to Italy with after Chuck stood her up” … At the end of the squash scene, observers say Marcus and Chuck shook hands on the court and then Marcus gave Chuck a number, which Chuck programmed into his phone.

Meh. Maybe Chuck was just saving the dude’s digits in order to “keep his options open” That would really spice up things on the show. While I’m glad that they are infusing fresh blood into the show, I doubt his arrival will be as exciting as the arrival of Georgina Sparks, played by Michelle Trachtenberg, was at the end of last season. Tho, considering the way the producers ended her run on the show (I felt it was INCREDIBLY LAME the way she exited the show simply by way of Blair telling on Georgina to her parents) I’m hoping they’ll be more creative with this new guy. He looks a bit old, don’t he? Maybe it’s the lighting but he looks too old to be a high school student … unless Blair will be gettin’ her freak on with an older man. Dun. Dun. Duuuuun. Now, that would be exciting, too … tho, I’d still prefer it if Chuck kept his options open

[Lauren]

I really like B+Cs relationship but not in an "awww" way like I do with D+S.

It's more of a "haha, they're so funny together!" way

It'll be interesting to see how S2 focusses on C+B though - I wanna know if C calms down a bit with his womanising ways. (Just read your spoiler though, oooh!)

I really, really... realllyyyy wish V would get out the picture (and G too, but I don't think she's gonna come back for a while!).


I was reading the BOOK last night, and in it - N is very wild, smoking weed constantly and getting drunk - I wonder if we see this side of him more in S2? From the promo pics - I think maybe!!

(I'm scared that I wrote that whole post and didn't once have to think about the initials... I think I'm an addict!).

[MrGaryy]

Yeah the books are different. I loved them before I saw the show, but now I prefer the show. S is much more likable than when she's in the books.

Yeah V just kinda there in the back around. What has she really done?

The thing that scares me about this show is that, like with skins, once they graduate from highschool they'll all be going to different colleges so the characters won't be together anymore.

[Lauren]

Yeah Gazbo, I was thinking the same thing! I mean it's only S1 and they've already chose their Universities and are in the application process. How many more series can the writers drag it out before they have to separate?

[MrGaryy]

I suppose they'll just bring in a new generation but rather htan like Skins, they'll probably gradually introduce them with the help of J and E. Some of them will probably go to college in NYC. It wouldn't surprise me if N didn't go to college at all! Why is V the same age as D but yet we never see her in school? I hope they don't do like the OC and try keep all the characters after they go to college, so there's all these new characters and it's soo confussing and look what happened to the OC as soon as they did that!

What do you make of this new guy M?

[MrGaryy]

Ooh, just had a look on Wiki saw that the one of the new eps is called "Never Been Marcused". That must linked to B's new fellow M.

Sounds like a good storyline! Cos I love it when C is angry or something, or tries to get revenge for something. Could be very funny.

But at the same time I hate it when people interfere in the relationships on the show! (i.e. V and G )

I'm more of a C+B person and I really hate J. I hate the way she tries to fit into the "in" crowd.

Theres a spin off of Gossip Girl called The It Girl that focuses on J trying to be the it girl at her new school. They might try that but I don't think they can make J on the show as likable as J in the book. Theres also another series thats like a sequal to Gossip Girl named The Carlyes(sp?)

[MrGaryy]

I LOVE the It Girl books they're much better than the GG ones.

I hated J in the GG books and when the It Girl books came out I didn't read them because J was the main character but when I did, I found her much more likable.

[Lauren]

I just ordered the 2nd, 3rd and 4th GG book in the series... didn't realise there were sooo many!
