There are other love interests. I mean, it’s one of those relationships that, in this genre, you’re always going to get that push and pull. Will they or won’t they? For Dan, I know he’s not having so much on the love front. He’s enriching his life in order to enrich his writing, which sounds backwards—but that’s the way he wants to go about it. He dabbles in the dark side this season with Chuck Bass (played by Ed Westwick) as much as he might hate it. There’s always the anchor—his relationship with Serena. It’s always going to be something that’s present with him, because she was his first love.

There are new love interests for Serena. The interesting thing about this is that Serena was a bad girl. You met her returning and trying to be good—then, she met Dan. She avoids finding out who she is as a person and who she’s going to become, because she has this other person. She still needs a bit of the power that she had before. She was able to fall back into the shadows when she was with Dan. She does rise to power this season, and she’s finding that balance. She meets an artist who’s in his 20s. He’s a free spirit, and he tries to break her out of her shell. But, as much as he’s helping Serena as a person, there’s still that constant tug with Dan.

I love DS because after all we've been through over the seasons they are still a couple I could root for and know in the end they will be together. They are a mess when they are apart and they are a perfect fit for each other and in time they will both realize this and reunite for good.

I love Dan and Serena because they have a beautiful, heartwarming and heartbreaking love story. Its a story of two people who found true love at an early stage. Their love has the power to heal them and break them. They mean that much to each other. They also understand the other more than any other person ever could. They love unselfishly and wholeheartedly and if you ever hurt the other they would cut you into tiny little pieces. Its the type of love we all want to have some day and its the type of love that gets tested over time and place, but its undying and universal. It is amazing and a true journey of the mind, heart and soul.

I love Dan and Serena simply because of their emotional being. They have gone through every possible thing a couple can go through and made it out on top. They love each other without conditions and know each other better than anyone else. It's clear to see how they are a fan favorite and the essential heart and soul of the show. They are a true love story.

~ Dana
