From Ausiello

Question: Is Vanessa from Gossip Girl going to get her own storyline next season? Despite what some may think there is Vanessa love out there. --Jess F.

Ausiello: Yes, she's getting her own storyline. A romance, in fact. With someone she met briefly at the end of last season. Commence with the dot connecting.

From tvguide.com:
MICKEY: Speaking with TVGuide.com at the CW upfronts, Leighton Meester seemed to confirm that Georgina's plan to weasel her way into Blair's life will be successful, as Blair will be living — gasp! — in an NYU dorm, with the little people! Including possibly both G. and V.! (Don't worry, Dorota fans; she'll still be on hand to tend to her "Miss Blair.")

Gina Torres will appear on Gossip Girl this fall as Vanessa's mom, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

Gabriela Abrams, mother to home-schooled vid-kid Vanessa, is described as being warm and outgoing, which will certainly be a change of pace for this show, not exactly known as the paragon of parental virtue. She is a free spirit, a former Brooklynite who lives "off the grid" in Vermont and has definite opinions about things, especially concerning her daughter. Ah, that's more like it.

Torres is best known for her roles on Alias and Firefly, though she also had a recent blink-and-you-miss-it cameo on Pushing Daisies as the wayward mom of Emerson's daughter. The actress is married to CSI's Laurence Fishburne.

Gabriela Abrams is currently scheduled to appear in two episodes, but she will recur on the series.

So I've been keeping track regarding possible participants in the GG 3some. You've already crossed off Little J, Eric, Blair, Chuck, Georgina. So that leaves Serena, Vanessa, Bree, Olivia for the ladies. And Dan, Carter, or Nate for the guys. You've mentioned that it's 2 girls and a guy and that one of the girls is seen as a "good girl" so this might shed that image. With that said....Vanessa, Olivia, Dan FTW!! Tell me I'm wrong!!!

Hi Kathryn! That's all I can say. Hi!

A leaked picture of the script shows a scene for Chuck and Vanessa regarding Blair's Freshman Speech plot here

Pattywack in Sydney: What brings Vanessa's mum to New York on Gossip Girl?
Gina Torres is going to be on Gossip Girl—can you believe it? And how is she introduced? Well, Vanessa finds out she is going to give the freshman toast at NYU and invites her mom. Mom, however, disapproves of Vanessa going to college (?!), apparently because Mr. and Mrs. Abrams are superhippie, anti-establishment types. Awww, they're just mad she didn't go to Reed or Oberlin.

From the Examiner:

AG: Plus her one dastardly act, hiding Nate's letter to Jenny, she admitted it and apologized. I can't imagine the show without her. I mean, she is a certain type of quintessential New Yorker.
JS: She so is. She's indie. She's intellectual. She's homeschooled. She's not rich. Her parents never wanted to be rich. Her sister is in a scrappy punk band. The writers love writing for her. We love watching Serena and Blair's world from her vantage point. Interesting things will be happening with Vanessa, we haven't seen her family backstory, and we will be delving into that, specifically her relationship with her mother.

Adrienne Gruben: Let's get some of the intrigue out of the way early. What can you tell us about this love child situation?
Josh Safran: All I can say about him is that he definitely figures prominently in the show as the season opens, and that he has a complicated romance with one of our leads..

Beautiful Disorder · 10-16-2009, 03:22 PM

let's try and ask something guys, and while we're on it, let's bombard Ausiello and Kristen with questions about DV or any V spoiler really. maybe if they see a lot of those questions they'll have to address it.

SolveMyMystery · 10-16-2009, 03:25 PM

TFTNT¡

well I wish some explanation of how V afford NYU in the next epi¡

and I realy hope she will make the speech at the end but I have the feeling VB will end burn equally

theresadawn · 10-16-2009, 03:28 PM

I'm not sure what to ask.

Yep. Its so obvious that both B and V will end up burned in this epi.

AlexParisGGfan · 10-16-2009, 03:31 PM

I don't want V to be hurt! I don't like sad V even if Jess is awesome in those scenes. I'm almost feel protective of her. I'm crazy I know.

MPGirl · 10-16-2009, 03:34 PM

TFTNT!

And I expect both BV to end up sad as well.

Beautiful Disorder · 10-16-2009, 03:40 PM

yeah with this show, noone ever gets away with scheming. And i was hoping V wouldnt do that, but the ep description sounds like she will

SolveMyMystery · 10-16-2009, 03:49 PM

also I love how V looks like a little girl aside her mom.sweet¡

but Gabriela still looks scary

theresadawn · 10-16-2009, 03:50 PM

Well, here is the description for epi 3 08.

“GOSSIP GIRL” — (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET)
“The Grandfather: Part II” (TV-14, L) (HDTV)

JIMMY FALLON & HILARY DUFF GUEST STAR — Olivia (guest star Hilary Duff) says something she regrets during her appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s (Fallon playing himself) talkshow and tries to keep Dan (Penn Badgley) from finding out. With election day around the corner, Nate (Chace Crawford) suspects his grandfather (guest star James Naughton) will stop at nothing to get Trip (guest star Aaron Tveit) elected to congress. In the midst of another feud with Serena (Blake Lively), Blair (Leighton Meester) befriends a new “it” girl and takes her to an election night party at Chuck’s (Ed Westwick) hotel, hoping to make Serena jealous. Taylor Momsen, Jessica Szohr, Kelly Rutherford and Matthew Settle also star. Mark Piznarski directed the episode written by Lenn Rosenfeld (#308).

Blair's trying to make Serena jealous!?

The femslashers are gonna love that.

And I'm gonna guess that the drowning was set up, and Vanessa just happened to film something that proves it.

Why in the world are BS going to fight this time.

Jessica only guest stars.

Doesnt explain NV. I like your theory then Mia. The drowning is fake and setup by grandpa. Nate catches Vanessa filming it.

AlexParisGGfan · 10-16-2009, 04:09 PM

Ok so BS are gonna be ennemies again?

And I hate the "Jess also stars". Reminds me of too much S1 and S2 ep.
