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.

Ausiello scoops:
- 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 OK Magazine, Kate French will be appearing as a nanny that "gets involved" with Chuck.
- - 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)

Shu: I hadn't really thought about it that much before, but you're so right! A lot of the comments really focus their negativity on Vanessa's looks and the things that are most obviously mixed about her. I had always assumed they just wanted to make her seem ugly because they hated her, but I can see it working through subconscious racial issues.

Also, for the sake of fun - my current favorites

1) Chuck
2) Blair
3) Vanessa
4) Nate
5) Dan
6) Serena
7) Lily
8) Jenny
Not on this list: Rufus

As a multi-racial that convo make disgusts me.

semmancla I'm not talking about you...cause atleast you hate on DV for the same reasons. Its a character flaw for you.

but some of the crap people hate on V for is ridic

Its like my saying omgz I hate Lily cause she's old and needs botox. but, I don't.

Shu you're make me sad. I've seen it too, but I just never thought about it like that. But now looking back it's quite disgusting. I've seen ppl comparing her to a crackho and stuff because of her hair, and that's just too much.

That's true. People take things too far expressing their hatred. I've read some really negative comments on Jessica's looks that has NOTHING to do with her character. So part of the Vanessa hate might be prejudice. The majority of the hate, I think, has to do with Vanessa stepping on other people's ship.

Gorgeous

I love this, too.

Maybe the King can order his execution.

Jess is beyond stunning. I have no comment to the ppl who call her ugly.

tftnt

I'm sorry for making you sad. There are times (cause I'm multi racial) where I've left this thread nearly in tears. Although its not about me...I'm just a few shades darker than jess and have the same hair....and it feels personally offensive.

eta: Zara I agree. I disliked her cause I was suspicious of her motives. I didn't like her interrupting my ds makeouts

but most DS fans got over it pretty quickly but lately the hate has gotten so BAD.

foreveryoung20 · 02-01-2009, 06:12 PM

Did anyone else notice in the promo when the scene from the hearing is on, the pic on the screen is S not HT....

Sorry to be randomn but I keep watching the promos

afeverpitch · 02-01-2009, 06:14 PM

I think Gossip Girl's homepage is always a picture of Serena for some unknown reason, lol. Unless Blair involves Serena in her scandal, and that's why Lily is there. But would she do that?

BunnySlippers232 · 02-01-2009, 06:15 PM

My list is always changing.

Chuck and Blair are always tied. I simply can't choose between them

The only character I don't like is Rufus. He's on the bottom of my list. At least Lily is interesting. And I love her interactions with Chuck.

Dan's usually third but sometimes Serena's third. I love Eric! I always include him on my list

I'm sorry bebe

I feel really offended too as a biracial woman (though I have more Penny type features, lol). It's seriously sad to see ppl bash a gorgeous girl just because her features aren't Western friendly. It's quite disgusting.

foreveryoung20 · 02-01-2009, 06:16 PM

Thats what I was thinking, it looks like S in the grey coat she has. I dont think thats always her homepage it depends on the scandal

You never know, B could... but I dont think thats why L is there, it could be.. but what could B say or do

phoemster · 02-01-2009, 06:16 PM

Thanks!

BunnySlippers232 · 02-01-2009, 06:17 PM

What do you think will happen to the teacher at the end of 2.17? Because she comes back in 2.18.

yeah, but I'm over it. Its a big world and I'm a big girl.

I still love V and I think she has so much potential. I'm excited for more DV scenes because I'm really warming up to their friendship.

Mylist of characters are

Dan
Serena
Vanessa
Blair
Erik
Nate

Chuck
Jenny

Rufus
Lily
