Gossip Girl(The CW)


Based on the popular book series of the same name, this drama gives viewers a peek into the world of privileged teenagers on an elite private school in New York City. The story is written by The O.C.'s Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, and directed by Mark Piznarski who has worked on series like Everwood and Veronica Mars.

Surface's Leighton Meester and Accepted's Blake Lively have taken the lead roles in this drama series. They will play Blair and Serena respectively, rich Manhattan rivals at a private school in New York. The last additions to this new CW drama are Misconceptions Taylor Momsen, The Covenant's Chace Crawford and The Bedford Diaries's Penn Badgley. Their characters are Momsen as Jenny a 14 year-old and shy girl, Nate the good looking boyfriend of Blair, and Dan the secret admirer of Serena.

E-Ring's Kelly Rutherford and The Jury's Florencia Lozano have both been cast as the mothers of lead roles Serena and Blair. Rutherford will play the mother of Serena van der Woodsen (Lively's character), a former ballerina and rock groupie. Meanwhile Lozano was cast as Eleanor Waldorf the mother of Blair Waldorf (Meester's character). World Trade Center's Conner Paolo has been cast as Serena's brother, Eric van der Woodsen, Afterlife's Ed Westwick has been cast as Chuck Bass, and Brothers and Sisters' Matthew Settle has been cast as Jenny and Dan's father, Rufus Humphrey.

I'm so glad theres thread for this. I'm really looking forward to this show. It looks a bit like a mix between the OC and cruel intentions.

I haven't read the books and i dont think i will until i've seen the show because then i'll have expectations and build up how the characters should be in my head so i'm gonna leave it until i've seen a couple episodes first.

Do you think its gonna have a bit of the snarky and sarcastic type of humour Josh put in The OC?

Hmm...I'm not familiar with the book, but I've been a Blake Lively fan since The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants...PLUS, this looks like a really good show.

I can't wait for this show! I just adore the casting. Leighton Meester is excactly how I pictured Blair, and I loved Chace Crawford in The Covenant (he really brought the pretty).

Also I'm glad that they made Rufus a DILF. Matthew Settle isn't at all how I pictured Rufus, but I'm not complaining.

One of the few new shows that I'm looking forward too. I have read some of the books, and I like them. Casting doesn't fit the book the a T, but it doesn't matter. I'm excited about this show.
