Gossip Girl S&S #2272: It's Cotillion time on the UES




welcome to the gossip girl spoiler and speculation thread;


Feel free to post about any upcoming story-line and discuss it with the other people in here. We urge you to not bash the actors nor the users because it's not allowed by the rules, but anything else with a good argument is welcomed.

Effective immediately, the Spoilers board moderators reserve the right to temporarily close any thread that does not heed four official warnings given on any issue. This means that, if the Spoilers Board Moderators have to come in with four official warnings about any issue whatsoever, within 24 hours or so, then that particular thread will be temporarily closed. The duration of closure is subject to the Spoilers Board Moderators' discretion. Upon re-opening of the temporarily closed thread, said thread will be closed again if any warnings are given within 24-48 hours of the reopening. Lastly, if numerous warnings need to be given over the course of a week, and the moderators suspect an attempt to get around the "four warnings" rule to avoid closure, we reserve the right to temporarily close the thread.

Do not discuss any information from any illegally obtained copies of copyrighted scripts. These scripts are not public information and they are copyrighted, so please do not post any script excerpts or mention any information that might be found in these scripts. If people persist with posting any information from these scripts or if they mention the scripts at all, this thread can and will be shut down.

ATTENTION ALL GOSSIP GIRL FANS: From now on, please do not post any picspams or repeated spoiler images - regardless of who is in them. It takes up space and offends certain members/fanbases. When we get new pictures, post a few of them once, then link the rest. They will be added to our photobucket in the OP (editor's note: lol uh, about that...) and can be accessed there from then on.

Thanks for the new thread. I’ve always found Lily to be an incredibly contradictory character. On the one hand, she’s a greedy gold-digger who wanted wealth and power, and she was a horrible mother to Serena and Eric, but Rufus brought out her kind and caring side, and she’s been a wonderful stepmother and friend to Chuck. I agree that she originally lost Rufus because she caved to her mother’s wishes, and I think she spent a good part of her life trying to please her mother, only to be slapped in the face by Cece when she left her estate to Ivy, so now she’s closed off the part of her that’s kind and caring and, in effect, she’s become Cece, and at the moment all she cares about is wealth and power.

I don't think Serena has ever been anything like Lily. Out of the younger characters, I've always found Blair to be the most like Lily. Blair cares way more about status and power. Lily can be that way, as well.

However, when Lily and Blair are around Rufus and Dan I found them more likeable. They just become normal people, and they don't care as much about status.

They really took their Rufly/Dair parallel a bit too far.

really? Both of them still cared a whole lot about it. Blair always cared about status. She was just willing to look past it. Atleast with Blair you have the fact that she is young, but Lily's desire for power and status didn't go away, she just sucked Rufus into her vortex to the point where he no longer had a personality. I still can't get over Blair's elaborate idea for a coming out party. It's a good thing she finally came up with the salon thing, but I was rolling my eyes the entire time. As much as she may have wanted to not care about status, she still did.

She's probably worse than Cece at this point. .

I just could not hate cece after S2. She was just so damned funny. She entertained the **** out of me and I had more sympathy for CeCe then for Lily in that flashback episode.

At least Cece in her elder years had a heart and Lily seemed to loose that. Plus Cece did seem to leave Lily with some money and many objects. I think it was her trying to be a matriach after Cece died and being betrayed by her sister.

I do think every couple has been compared to RL. However, I think in the finale they tried to show that if your name is Humphrey you will always finish second to a Bass man.

that's why dan should never have been allowed near the mess that is CB.

I guess I see all the kids as potentially being younger versions of their parents. They can either fall into the same traps as the older generation, and therefore have history repeat itself. Or, they can purposely choose a different path, and rebel against becoming their parents.

Lily is very much CeCe right now.
Serena isn't Lily, but she easily could have been (and maybe she is, with Steven?).
Dan avoided being Rufus in relationships
Blair wishes she were Eleanor
Chuck isn't sure if he wants to be Bart (probably not)
Nate definitely doesn't want to be the Captain or his grandfather; he has always tried to get away from that.

IA with your description of Lily, Jerry. It seems like she's 2 people at once - the hip, carefree former groupie who fell in love with Rufus and loves her children and the horrible mom/UES snob who goes through husbands like they're nothing. It's a weird combination, but I think deep down the writers want her to be a good person and I have a feeling that's how they'll write her in the end.

I know we're supposed to hate elanor, but seriously I just look at her and feel sorry for her because she has an irritating petulant child. Serena to me just needs to stop running from guy to guy, but atleast it makes sense since she never seemed to get her father's love and daddy issues don't magically go away. You just try to deal with them.

i prefer to Bart to Chuck mostly cause he makes me lol

Nate is his mother lbr.

So are we going to get a Humphrey bashfest next season? .
