Gossip Girl S&S #432: Too bad for Nate, he just can't find the right companion...
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. Episode 2.11: The Magnifcent Archibalds Airdate: November 17, 2008 Description: THANKSGIVING ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE — Thanksgiving in the Waldorf household finds Blair (Leighton Meester) upset that her mom’s (Margaret Colin) new boyfriend, Cyrus (guest star Wallace Shawn), has decided to ruin all her favorite traditions, but that’s nothing compared to what’s coming next. Lily (Kelly Rutherford) finds herself trying to broker a peace treaty between Rufus (Matthew Settle) and Jenny (Taylor Momsen) who is prepared to cut off all communication with her father if she doesn’t get her way. Serena (Blake Lively) isn’t quite ready to come clean with Aaron (guest star John Patrick Amedori) about her complicated past, but Dan (Penn Badgley) ends up accidentally revealing a few tidbits of his own. Blair and Chuck (Ed Westwick) come to their friend’s aid when Nate (Chace Crawford) is once again forced to confront his father’s (guest star Sam Robards) abandonment. Finally, Eric (Connor Paolo) discovers a secret that Bart (Robert John Burke) has been keeping from Lily. Jessica Szohr also stars. Promo & Sneak Peeks: Extended Promo Writer: Joshua Safran Director: Jean DeSegonzac All Sides: Jenny/Chuck/Vanessa/Nate Major Breakdown: Little J cries her heart out in front of both Blair and Eleanor, maybe a little time for amends is up? Episode 2.12: It’s a Wonderful Lie Airdate: December 1, 2008 Description: Promo & Sneak Peeks: Writer: Unknown Director: Unknown Side 1: Chuck/Blair Side 2: Chuck/Blair Side 3: Bart Side 4: Serena/Aaron/Dan Episode 2.13: O, Brother, Where Bart Thou? Airdate: December 8, 2008 Description: Promo & Sneak Peeks: Writer: Unknown Director: Unknown Episode 2.14: Untitled Airdate: Uknown Description: Promo & Sneak Peeks: Writer: John Stephens Director: Unknown Head Colony Woman Dancer Catharine Tudor Jack Bass Episode 2.14: Untitled Airdate: Uknown Description: Promo & Sneak Peeks: Writer: Amanda Lasher Director: Unknown Casting Sides Kristin said what?: - Latest scoop on the crazy woman’s blog is that a third wheel dies and Rufus and Lily will get closer without this third wheel (say Bart faster than we do). - Kristin has also said in the past that Nate and Jenny are making out but will not be in a relationship, they are just doing it for fun. - She has also mentioned that DS are not getting together any time soon and that every episode from now on has a squee CB moment. Ausellio scoops: - Nate and Jenny will be over long before you can say "statutory rape." - Desmond Harrington will be playing Jack Bass - Gossip Girl will have 25 episodes this season! Interviews: - According to Mickey from TV Guide: Eric and Jonathan's relationship will be short-lived. He has bigger fish to fry and will even help Jenny with her underground fashion line. - Josh Schwartz spills the beans on what’s to come on GG this season - According to Jessica Szhor: "There's a lot going on. There's a love triangle between Vanessa, Nate and Jenny, there's a funeral, and there's…going to be a flirtation with Chuck, but I think she still misses someone else." - - Leighton says: (About Chuck and Blair in season 2) "We have a lot of conflict, believe me. And their conflict is very interesting, because it's very internal. There's not real outward obstacles. It's a lot of their own minds colliding with each other. Her not wanting to give in. Him being a playboy and not being able to fall for her completely. And then when he does, he doesn't show it. And when she does, he shuns it, and all these things. So it's very real life, and to me it kind of is this sort of bad girl/bad boy version of The Age of Innocence with Daniel Day Lewis and Michelle Pfieffer's characters." - - Connor Paolo told cinemablend that he hopes for more Eric/Chuck time, and then Eric will get more "badass" next season. Magazines: - - According to Zap2it, Bart's death will profoundly affect 4 series regulars. - - According to Entertainment Weekly: The CW has ordered two more episodes of Gossip Girl this season, bringing the total to 24. Thank God. - - According to mickey from TVguide After Nate and his mom helped The captain escape from prosecution, he double crossed them. No sources, but reliable, nonetheless: - According to everyone: Willa Holland has joined in a three-episode arc as Agnes (a model who wishes to take Jenny to the dark side and betray Eleanor). John Patrick Amedori has joined as Aaron, an artistic love interest for Serena. Last edited by afeverpitch; 11-12-2008 at 10:45 AM |

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. |

Triangles are usually too painful to watch but I'd like to see VNJ to play out properly. Although all three of them have their moments and I like them, I'm not overly fond of any of them. It could be fun to watch a triangle without over-sympathizing any of the characters involved.
