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.

Season two continues with Serena's rising social status, as she becomes a New York City It Girl. Taking Manhattan by storm seems a fun distraction, but when elements of her bad-girl personality begin to emerge, will Serena's newfound status fuel bad habits? Plus, as Serena and Dan struggle to come to terms with their breakup, Dan unwittingly crosses Serena, and he sees what she is really capable of. Dan also acquires a mentor — a literary lion who urges him to explore his grittier side. But will he lose his moral compass?

Blair dates someone out of her league and is dealt a severe betrayal. This won't be the only betrayal Blair will face, as someone close to her threatens her queen bee status. However, Blair will dish up ill will of her own — no one leaves her in Tuscany, certainly not Chuck Bass … Meanwhile, Chuck demonstrates how truly Machiavellian he can be, as he helps facilitate the fall of one queen bee and the rise of another. Chuck and Blair's love-hate relationship rises to new levels; he regrets his decision to leave her, and tries to make everyone — including Blair — pay for his mistake.

Nate shocks everyone with a scandalous new relationship with a sexy older woman, all the while trying to deal with the consequences of his father jumping bail. How will Nate handle these newfound financial woes? What schemes or dreams will he come up with to make money?

Jenny continues her Cinderella story, substituting Blair for her mother, Eleanor, and a job at Eleanor's atelier. Jenny also develops a friendship with a model who gets her in over her head in the dark, adult world of fashion. This girl is the fun, wild friend who pulls Jenny away from family and school and into the night … something Rufus is not happy about.

Vanessa's life gets turned around by the return of her unstable sister, a force whose wrongs Vanessa is always trying to right. Plus, she gets pulled back into Nate's drama, and, though she tries to be a good friend to him, it is hard on her. Vanessa opens the door a bit more to her life and why she is the way she is. She also gets a job that brings her closer to the world of Rufus.

Rufus, meanwhile, has returned from tour with the realization that the dreams he gave up haven't left his mind. He'll have to choose which path he wants to follow. Rufus starts to date again, something that brings him into conflict with Lily. He is also in conflict with Jenny, over her future, and with Dan, and Dan's new attitude to live more and take bigger risks.

Lily returns from a three-month globetrotting honeymoon as Mrs. Bart Bass to find herself thrust into a new level of Manhattan society — and all the privileges and pressures that come with it. The public unveiling of the new apartment — palace or gilded cage? — lends incredible stress and Lily starts to question the choices she's made. She also finds out that her new husband knows more about her than she thought, as he attempts to clean up and contain her past. Lily's attempts to maintain some type of relationship with Rufus and escape from the mundane duties of a society wife force Rufus to draw the line, and, for the first time in their history, Lily finds that she's the one rebuffed.

Through it all, Gossip Girl is there. Keeping track of the shifting friendships, jealousies and turmoil in this wealthy and complex world isn't easy, but it's what Gossip Girl does best (always with an X and an O).

Based upon the book by Cecily von Ziegesar, Gossip Girl, which has already won two Teen Choice Awards for Choice TV Show – Drama and Choice TV Breakout Show and garnered a legion of fashion-forward fans, was developed by Josh Schwartz & Stephanie Savage and is executive produced by Schwartz, Savage, Leslie Morgenstein and Bob Levy.

Kristin said what?:
- A huge core couple will get back together unexpectedly and it's guaranteed to make you cry.
- The love child will come back late season 2 or early season 3.
- Dan and Serena will continue to go in circle for a few episodes before Dan gets involved with the teacher.
- Nate and Vanessa will be going strong. She will help him a bit with the Chuck situation.
- CB are done for now. They will be attending 3 different colleges.
- RL are triggering Kristin's morning sickness. No CB-officialness this season.
- Money problems for Rufus. Poppy coming back for Serena.

Ausiello scoops:
- Stephanie Savage says that even though Nate and Blair "look really cute together kissing in the snow," Chuck and Blair fans should still "hang in there."
- Nate gets a rich, married, Vanderbilt cousin in his 20s.
- Serena and Anne Hathaway will have something in common.
- Lily and Rufus' love child will appear on the show in April or May.
- The show is casting the possibly recurring role of an "unassumingly cute" 16-year-old male. Sounds like Jenny's getting a new suitor!
- Gossip Girl will have 25 episodes this season!

Interviews:
- - Photographer Patrick McMullan will have a cameo in a future episode.
- - SpoilerTV says: They are casting for a dashing socialite male in his 20s. He will be on the show from 2.20 - 2.24.
- - According to Stephanie: Dan and Blair will play each other's love interests, and Serena will have a big story line at the end of the season that will include one of Blair's biggest foes.
- - According to Stephanie: They will be doing prom and graduation. Georgina is coming back near the end of the season.
- - According to Stephanie Savage: Vanessa will go to college; Nate and Blair will continue to be friends; Dan and Blair will star in a school play together; Nate will feel a pull towards " the people he started his journey with" and surprising feelings will come to the surface.
- - According to Josh: "Certain times a situation is so dire that it requires the assistance of even your most sworn enemy. It just might come to pass that Serena and Blair find themselves in a situation where they have no recourse other than to recruit Georgina Sparks."
- - According to josh: Dan and Serena's secret half-brother again. (I'd explain the previous sentence more fully but it would take up way too much space).
Schwartz did say that Michelle Trachtenberg would be back around April and May as troublemaker Georgina Sparks, and Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) would remain at the forefront of the show.
"We get that that [relationship] works for people," Schwartz said with a laugh.
He also noted that many of the show's teen characters "graduate at the end of this year -- that's going to be a very big deal and it will shape direction of the show heading into Season 3."

Magazines:
- - According to New York Magazine:
Next season will be college, but some characters won't be attending.
Lily will not be pregnant.

Unknown/Other sources, but reliable, nonetheless:
- Everyone but Chuck is affected by the Hot Teacher
- Blair will have an internal conflict regarding her college decision, Chuck, and her future.
- Someone might be pregnant, but it's not Serena, Lily or Jenny.
- Chuck's secret about his mother will come back. More people will find out and it will be sad.
- The wedding will not be Eleanor and Cyrus. They are deciding between three couples. (PraesseM)
- The writers will not have RL be endgame, because it interferes too much with DS. (PraesseM)
- Blair’s bulimia is back as an upcoming issue, with Chuck finding out and taking about how they would support each other forever. (PraesseM)
- Blair will need Chuck in an upcoming episode, but it might not have to do with her eating disorder.
- There will be some flashbacks coming but they aren't going to be the entire episode. (PraesseM for the above)
- Dashing young man being cast for episodes 20-24. (Source: SpoilerTv)

EVERYONE, please, respect the opinions of people that you don't agree with when it comes to couples or characters (and this is for ALL of us). We can all agree to disagree and do it respectfully. We've done it before. Character and actor bashing is not acceptable. But stating that you lost your love for a character, or that you hate a character for whatever reason isn't bashing, either. It's an opinion, and we're ALL entitled to having one. So let's have fun and and engage in healthy debates without resorting to petty insults or name-calling.

roswellcharmed_2000 · 02-03-2009, 07:10 PM

okay here's what i want to happen involving your title.

vanessa and chuck see it on Gossip Girl. Chuck goes back to Vitrola and drinks some scotch and broods. Vanessa goes over to Nates and kicks him in the nuts. Then he'll have an epiphany that being with Blair doesn't fix whats wrong with his life and he fixes it.

ElleBee · 02-03-2009, 07:11 PM

this title is so much win!
and I cant wait

cold hands · 02-03-2009, 07:13 PM

lmao I love the title. tftnt

Also

Quote:

High school senior Lloyd Dobler wants nothing more than to go out with beautiful and intelligent Diane Court. Lloyd attempts to win her heart over the objections of her over-protective father before Diane leaves for a scholarship in England.

If someone has to win over Cyrus to get to Blair, it will erase any misgivings I have about this show and make me love it forever.

Ok so Say Anything is about a valedictorian and a nerdy girl falling in love. I feel like this is DS...anyone else?

Quote:

I hope DS just work on their friendship and honestly resolve their problems before getting together. NO MORE MERRY-GO-ROUND.

I think they will, I think they are going to be close friends and overcome everything they need to before.

havanaxnights · 02-03-2009, 07:15 PM

Hey, so I heard that the CW has listed the next few episodes as...

Episode 2.18 is called "The Age of Dissonance" and will air on March 16 followed by 2.19 "The Grandfather" on March 23, 2.20 "Remains of the J" on March 30, and 2.21 "Seder Anything" on April 20.

The source was Spoiler TV Comments, did anyone else hear of this?

ElleBee · 02-03-2009, 07:15 PM

the NB is in epi 20, right?
but they interact in 18?

strikeleo · 02-03-2009, 07:15 PM

TFTNT !

See, here's the thing for me. When you say Blair is settling for less, you are saying to me that she settled for less back then with Chuck too, in 1x18. Because Nate left her no choice but to move on, and Chuck was there to apologize, and at that moment, it was clear she loved herself more than Chuck, therefore she had to let go of him. She chose to move on, there was a choice there, so yes, People can say she was settling for with Chuck too.
I love CB and always will, but like I said time and time again, I'll only be ready for them to be in a relationship when Chuck grows up. and I can ship Blair with others, because she deserves to be happy. Nate right now seems to be a better fit to her than Chuck, and if he is, then so be it. NV were always rebound, I'm surprised they lasted that long, but Vanessa is easily undermined by Blair when it comes to being with Nate.

foreveryoung20 · 02-03-2009, 07:17 PM

Yea they are all hanging out at N's house in 18 or 19...even DS...

word to all of this!!!

Lauren, I want DSNB interaction, esp since DN are friends now and SB is OTP as well

soul_rebel · 02-03-2009, 07:18 PM

TFTNT.

Oh I sooo hope the show does not go all DS again so soon. I mean last night just pissed me off...they were doing so good than BAM in one episode things are over for them? Like, WHAT THE edited?!?! was that all about. THem breaking up and getting back together is honestly making me not want to ship them anymore.

foreveryoung20 · 02-03-2009, 07:19 PM

I do too, I think DSNB interaction will be so cute, and they are all playing games at his house so you never know, but V is there...

Oh and this synopsis makes me think of DS...
In this charming critically-acclaimed tale of first love, Lloyd (John Cusack), an eternal optimist, seeks to capture the heart of Diane, an unattainable high school beauty and straight-A student (Ione Skye). He surprises just about everyone-including himself-when she returns the sentiment. But Diane's over-possessive, divorced Dad (John Mahoney) doesn't approve and it's going to take more than just the power of love to conquer all.
