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..

Thought I'd let you guys know that Kristen narrowed it down for us, she says it's not NBC, and it's not with Georgina. She also says that one of the actors are 'fairly pure' and that she'd never expect to see them in a threesome.

I'm almost positive it's DOV now.

I'm weirdly excited

ETA: Never mind she says it's not them!

Maybe Rufus ,Lily and Serenas's daddy?
Rufus as the fairly pure

NADIA!

TFTNT Karla!

We should put in the new filming pictures.

I'm glad the threesomes not DOV. I mean it's definitely shocking and scandalous, but I don't want a romance for V to start that way.

theresadawn · 10-08-2009, 11:48 AM

TFTNT.

I wonder who the threesome is.

Can anyone find where she says it's NOT them? Cause I can't . . .

She's answering questions in the comments.

CRAP! I found it what people thought it was . .

Welcome back Kristin!! The GG threesome's gonna be DAN/GEORGINA/OLIVIA it's so OBVIOUS!!!!!!

Quote:

86/Kelly: Wrong!

So I REALLY think it's DOV. And that's ridiculous.

If the threesome takes place in 3.09, and then she looks sad in the 3.10 pictures. . .

**Queen Bee** · 10-08-2009, 12:04 PM

Oh yeah it's definitely DOV

Someone misread it.

theresadawn · 10-08-2009, 12:07 PM

I dont want it to be DOV.

Why would V do that to herself.

Maybe her feelings for Dan cloud her judgement?

She might be drunk.

And it apparently involves a pizza place.

theresadawn · 10-08-2009, 12:18 PM

Maybe Nadia or like Mia says maybe they are drunk.

Maybe Vs talk about college being a time for expermintation was foreshadowing this.

It involves pizza?

Eww.

**Queen Bee** · 10-08-2009, 12:21 PM

I think Dan might end up dreaming about it though. Because honestly a pizza place?

Ausiello said it's "real" not that it wasn't a dream.
