GENERAL SPOILERS/NEWS

Season 4 Description:

Season three ended with a BANG! that left one of our beloved Upper East Siders possibly dead, one possibly a daddy, one definitely deflowered, and several with broken hearts. Stay tuned for another explosive season of love, scandal and, of course, secrets. Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) has spent a fabulous summer in Paris without realizing her former love, Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick), has been shot. As much as Blair tries to distract herself from the pain Chuck caused her when he slept with Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen) at the end of Season Three, his mysterious appearance in Paris with a beautiful new woman will force both of them to face what happened. Meanwhile, a newly single Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) has been enjoying a Parisian summer of love with boys, Blair and Balenciaga as she tries to avoid the inevitable decision about which of her two long-time beaus, Dan or Nate, she should return to. Little does she know, the choice will be made for her. At the end of last season, Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) discovered he was going to be a father to Georgina Sparks’ (Michelle Trachtenberg) baby. The chaos of impending fatherhood and the mysterious moods of hormonal Georgina have turned his life upside-down, so he is relieved when ex-girlfriend Vanessa Abrams (Jessica Szohr) comes to his aid. But is any of this enough to finally take his mind off Serena? Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford), fresh off his painful breakup with Serena, spent the summer taking a page out of Chuck’s playboy playbook. But when feisty newcomer Juliet Sharp (Katie Cassidy) turns up, she helps Nate change his ways and refocus his Serena issues. But does Juliet have an agenda all her own? On the Upper East Side, that’s something only time will tell. New season. New characters. New love affairs. New problems. And, of course, New York. Don’t be late. XOXO Gossip Girl. Filmed in New York and based on the popular series of young-adult novels by Cecily von Ziegesar, “Gossip Girl” is from Fake Empire and Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios with executive producers Josh Schwartz (“Chuck,” “The O.C.”), Stephanie Savage (“The O.C.”), Leslie Morgenstein (“The Vampire Diaries”), Bob Levy (“The Vampire Diaries”) and Joshua Safran.

From Taylor's interview with Access Hollywood 5/3/2010

“The show’s been really great and I’m going to be missing from a little bit of it because I am finishing the Warped Tour,” Taylor explained. “I’m on tour this summer and the show starts back up during the middle of the tour." [Video here]

From Ask Ausiello 5/6/2010:

Question: What’s with all the Taylor Momsen/Gossip Girl drama? Will she be back next season at all? —Allo
Ausiello: Not sure what drama you’re referring to, but per my original story, she’ll be MIA only for the first part of next season. My prediction: Jenny will make a dramatic return at the start of November sweeps!

From Ausiello's Preview of the Season 3 Finale 5/10/2010:

Stephanie Savage [on the Chuck/Jenny hook-up]: “This is a story that has been three years in the telling — going back to the pilot,” she reminds us. “And that’s a story that we’ll keep telling in season 4. So I don’t think it’s coming out of nowhere. And it lands on everybody. It lands on Dan, Blair, Serena, Rufus, Lily, Nate — every single person has a POV about this, and we’re going to see these ripple effects over time.“

From Ausiello's Post GG Finale Interview with Stephanie Savage 5/17/2010:

My first question: Were those Taylor Momsen’s real tears?
STEPHANIE SAVAGE: Yes. I wasn’t there on the day they shot that, but that’s what it really looks like if a girl with raccoon eyes cries that much. There was nothing we could do.

How long will Jenny be gone for?
SAVAGE: I’d rather not say.

Will she be a changed person when she returns?
SAVAGE: Yes. What happens in the finale has a real impact on Jenny.

From E! Online's Post Finale Interview w/ JS & SS 5/18/2010:

What about Taylor Momsen? When is her leave of absence up?
S.S.: We have a plan, but we want to save it as a surprise.

Will Blair make good on her promise to destroy Little J if she comes back to the city?
J.S.: Blair doesn't make promises [she can't keep].
S.S.: We will do whatever will create maximum drama.

From Forbes's In Pictures: 11 Teen Celebrity Entrepreneurs 6/11/2010:

"She'll miss the FIRST FIVE EPISODES of next season's Gossip Girl because she'll be on the Warped Tour."

From The Gossip Girl TCA panel (via Zap2it) 7/29/10:

Taylor Momsen will be back at some point in the first half of the season. They're creating tension while she's gone, and they'll bring her back with "as much drama as possible."

From Kristen's Chat @ E! Online 8/09/10

Will Jenny Humphrey be back?
As for Little J, yes, she will return.

From an Anonymous Source 8/28/10 (This encompasses the first four episodes).

Jenny is mentioned several times in the beginning of the season by various characters. Rufus and Lily saw her over the summer in Hudson and according to Rufus is looking great, remarking you can even see the color of her eyes. Jenny's room at the loft is briefly turned into a nursery to accomodate the baby storyline (which only lasts 3 episodes).

Regarding Chuck/Jenny's finale hookup:

Jenny doesn't blame Chuck at all. Apparently told Rufus this over and over again. Chuck is extremely repentative about the whole thing. He tells Lily he should have helped Jenny instead of using her. Eric and Rufus hate Chuck for what he did. Rufus finally starts to come around (mostly due to Jenny and Lily), but then Eric tells him about the Kiss on the Lips party. Rufus confronts Chuck and the damage is done.

Blair views the hook-up as the one thing she can never forgive (even over the Jack Bass situation), and still hates Jenny. Lily takes the peacekeeper approach and just wants to keep the family together. Doesn't judge anyone. She even knew about the Kiss on the Lips party. Said Jenny confided in her. Serena is similiar to Lily and just tries to help Blair with her grief. Dan doesn't talk about it but he's been busy with his baby drama and Serena/Vanessa stuff. Vanessa doesn't appear to have knowledge of the situation.

Nate still doesn't appear to have knowledge of the situation either. Of course he is preoccupied with having foursomes, whining about Serena, and being shamelessly manipulated by Juliet that he doesn't even mention Jenny period and besides Vanessa is the only main character to never directly mention the situation (whether in the finale or in the first four episodes). There are a couple vague scenes about Chuck's past and the tension in the family, but it doesn't appear Nate knows anything about what happened between Chuck and Jenny and he's definitely supposed to have a pov.

Also, in episode 406, Jenny returns for a fashion school interview.

From Sugar Magazine (October 2010 issue)

"Everything is taken out of context. The other night some guy asked me, "What's going on with Gossip Girl?" So I said, "it's done dude" because we'd finished shooting. And suddenly I'm quitting the show. But I'm not doing an interview with someone chasing me down the street with a camera. What you read probably isn't what I even said. It's just a snippet of what I was trying to say. I'm kind of awkward and stuttery when I speak, so things get taken the wrong way."- TAYLOR

From Ask Ausiello 9/1/2010:

Question: Please give me some scoop about Jenny’s return to Gossip Girl! —Giovanni
Ausiello: I was right. Jenny reappearance is directly connected to Tim Gunn’s upcoming cameo. Turns out Blair permits her nemesis to return to the scene of her last crime (i.e. Manhattan) just long enough for her to interview for a job with Gunn at Parsons. Without giving too much away, Jenny inadvertently gets caught up in Chuck and Blair’s latest drama, and the whole mess comes to a head at (natch) a big fancy party.

Taken from the last thread:

Quote:

Anyway, I think the episode will go something like this: Jenny comes back to the city for an interview with Parsons. Somebody (Dan? Rufus? Lily? Someone else?) tells Blair to just leave Jenny alone AND/OR Jenny just comes anyway because this is her dream and she doesn't care what Blair thinks (and hoping that she grows up and gets over it already!) However, while she's there, she somehow runs into Chuck and clears the air with him in person and sees how much he's changed...and then goes to her interview. It goes great and Tim Gunn invites her to the big fashion party. Jenny's really excited. Of course, since this is GG...somehow Blair found out about Jenny and Chuck's meeting, freaks out, and has a renewed effort to destroy her. Blair does something bad to ruin things for Jenny and Chuck just stands there like an idiot. Dan comes to her rescue and tries to help her smooth things over. Blah blah blah blah...Anyway, in the end Jenny is going to go back to Hudson...but she finds out she really got in for spring semester. You find out Chuck fixed Blair's mess. The end.

I have no idea how other characters will be threaded into this. I'm sure Serena and Jenny will have a scene where they makeup (because let's face it...they will).

I'm just not sure about Nate. It's almost impossible that he wouldn't know/find out in this episode, especially if it makes GG. But who knows. It's GG....when it is ever realistic?

This is how I think the episode is going to go too. I was trying to piece together in my head today about how it would go and I came up with something similar to that. Gotta love how predictable the show has become

.

I didn't factor in SJ making up, but they probably will

. Either that, or they'll just become friends again without making up, that's quite common on this show

.

As for Nate, I'm almost certain that he's going to find out in 406 about CJ, whether it's through a GG blast or because Juliet tells him (since she's supposedly at this party, she will probably be there when the CBJ stuff hits the fan and use it as part of her next psycho plan or something) about it. It's obvious that they're planning for Nate to have some sort of big reaction/find out about it in a big way because if they didn't want him to have a big reaction, he'd be at the party with everyone else. The fact that Nate is missing from this party is a big red flag. The writers may think we're too dumb to figure out what they're doing but it's clear as day what they're doing. CJ is clearly going to be the discussion topic at this party, Nate doesn't know about CJ so they're going to keep him away. Meanwhile, word of it or the CBJ stuff will come out via GG or Juliet and reach Nate and then it'll take off from there. My guess is that will probably take place at the end of the episode

. Then from there I'm guessing we'll finally get to see his POV on the whole thing. I mean who knows, but this is the way I see it going.

Quote:

I personally would love for Jenny to be accepted into Parsons for second semester, she goes back to Hudson but is still tied to the main plots (like maybe she could do research on Juliet, give people advice, or something IDK) and then come back with a bang during the holiday eps/cliffhanger. Then after all the psycho stuff is over...she can have real focus with design school and then in a perfect world would finally delve into NJ because now Jenny is out of high school and is on the cusp of her 18th birthday. They're finally feeling like the "same age". I mean it would be SOOO freaking easy to use the Chuck thing to snap Nate out of his denial and bring up his feelings. Especially if everyone else was over it by then. Like someone said before, they definitely wouldn't be brotherly. And ooo it would be doubly perfect if Jenny was like more distant from him and even dating someone else. Then he could act all Natefused. LOL.

I'd love it if something like this happened

.

**broken crown** · 09-01-2010, 10:31 PM

I don't think KC/Juliet was there after all. There are conflicting reports because someone said Katy was there. I thought they mispelled her name...someone else said Katy Perry (which I can't prove either since KP is in Europe now). I read comments on OLV that said Chace, Katie, and Jessica were nowhere to be found on set. So who knows.

More than likely they'll just sweep it under the rug unfortunately.

So you think Chuck will fix Blair's mess and help Jenny getting in? Hmm i really hope it happens but i'm not gonna hold my breath.
