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.

post away!
I can always change the title if someone has a better one

I completely agree with this: Chuck's whores = Blair's boyfriends.

Which is why I'm so happy that Chuck is finally trying something new and attempting to have an actual relationship outside of Blair. I think it's good for him, even if he's kind of going about it the wrong way.

But it makes so many people so angry, despite the fact that his hookers made them angry as well. The problem is that it's a real attempt at moving on, which they don't want Chuck to do. But I think he needs to. I mean, isn't Blair making a real attempt, as well, by going to France with her best friend and cutting ties with Chuck? There is no evidence that the guy she has over there is in any way an attempt to get back at Chuck or somehow all about Chuck.

And, yes, once she realizes Chuck got shot and finds out he is trying to leave, she'll convince him to stay. That shows she's not over him yet and still cares. But doesn't the look on Chuck's face in the video and his slow motion walk towards her (not to mention him standing frozen on the street when he sees her in her taxi) show that he still cares? That's what I don't understand. They are BOTH still in love and always will be, but are trying to move on. Why is that so horrible?

I'm just going to sit back and let sendtherain and Whitney do the talking. I agree 100% with everything you're both saying right now.

Thanks for the thread. The title is sweet.

Ok so she didn't forgive him on the spot, does that justify leaving forever? This makes no sense

I would tell him to get the hell out of my life and I would mean it. And if he kept hanging around, harassing me I would feel like he truly didn't love me at all. Chuck is the one who screwed up. Therefore, he is not the one who should be forcing his desires on her. Of course, he loves her and wants her. She knew that. She also knew that he'd hurt her and that she couldn't handle it anymore. She decided to walk away. I think she made the right choice. Chuck was in a very destructive place and if she had stuck around she would have been hurt even more most likely. He needs to get his life together. She's chosen to do the same. I don't think he should sit around waiting for her though. She walked away from him meaning forever. If she's changed her mind she can go to him and talk to him, but it doesn't seem like she has. She might still love him but I don't see Blair ready to jump back in. She just might want him in her life as a friend and I certainly hope that happens for them. I think that is key to working out their issues.

My issue doesn't lie in that Chuck moves on and finds comfort in Eva rather Blair runs after him to shed tears for him after how things went down after 3.17 & 3.22. I personally didn't feel love or care, and I only feel this girl is pathetic... It's a point the writers have done more than enough that Blair cares Chuck too much, more than necessary IMHO... If CEva have their things going on and leave Blair out of it, I don't have any problem... I don't think it's time for Blair to chase after him, at least it's not now...

[21:21]

I just don't like the fact that Eva is his old friend. It was easier in a way to accept Chuck/Eva because you knew that Eva didn't know him like Blair does. She didn't know the real him, the old him, but now apparently she does. She does know him. She does accept him, and all of his sides...

[grumpyloveschuck]

Do people on this board want their ex boyfriends to STALK them after they've repeatedly told them to beat it? I can't get over what I'm reading half the time.

A bit of persistence is fine, but we've got Blair telling Chuck point blank that it's over. She means it. Chuck feels the anger and knows there's no way to convince her to take him back. It's only right to give up and let the girl move on.

[afeverpitch]

Yes, Whitney. Once again, you win my gold star.

When someone tells you they never want to speak to you again, after things as horrible as 3.17 through 3.22, chances are you are going to believe them. Especially since Blair really means it. It's been 3 months and Blair has not tried to contact Chuck or wondered where he might be. Not until she realizes he's in NYC and something awful has happened to him.

I mean, to wonder if Chuck really loves Blair because he let her be after hurting her, I'd also have to wonder if Blair really loves Chuck because she left after telling him she'd always be his family. The thing is, they are people in their minds. Not omniscient narrators of their love story. They don't know that they are OTP the way we know. They think it's over right now.

I'm with you theoretical girl.

Before I leave to sleep I will also just add that I do think Chuck needs to support Blair through some big drama like she has for him. I also want them to start as friends and rebuild from there.

As for Blair crying at the train station I'm not going to make any judgements on that as we really don't know everything that is involved in that scene.

Good night and TFTNT

If only I could send them my crystal ball. All of this would be handled much more quickly.

Please listen to me, Aurora.

I PROMISE you that Eva is not his friend. I talked to a girl who was at the filming in France, and she said it's not possible for Eva to be an old friend because she didn't know who he was. In the scene where Chuck is all dressed up and getting in the Bentley, he and Eva are fighting because he lied to her about who he was. he is apologizing and trying to convince her to come with him (I think to meet Serena).

It was a translation error, I prooooomise. They are NOT old friends and she most definitely does not accept all sides of him.

Where did you read this STALK comment? I didn't read one like that...

[like vines]

Aww Aurora I caught your message in the title

[Whitney]

I'm not going to lose respect for Blair because she cries when she sees Chuck for the first time in three months. She loved him so much and they went through so much that I'm sure the emotion just overwhelms her. I also think that it's going to really shake her up that he has a cane and finding out what happened to him is going to hurt. It's easy to say you're going to move on, it's very hard to actually kill those feelings dead. No matter what he is to her, boyfriend, friend, enemy, her emotions can't just turn on a dime. I'd be really concerned if she saw him limping around, being a totally different person and just shrugged and said have a good life. She's human and for a moment it all gets to her. I think it'll be a pretty powerful scene and I hope it starts to mend some wounds between them. Maybe he's staying away from NYC for her and she lets him know she doesn't want that. There are plenty of possibilities. I seriously doubt she's crying over him being with Eva.
