General Spoilers

Josh Schwartz talks about S 2

• Schwartz plans to keep the focus on the main characters while adding some new faces: Wallace Shawn will play a love interest for designer Eleanor Waldorf (Margaret Colin), the mother of social queen Blair (Leighton Meester)

• A popular pairing that will get more attention is that of the conniving Chuck (Ed Westwick), who has fallen for manipulative society queen Blair.
  “You’ll see the way the season is shaped out - Blair and Chuck play a huge part in it,” Schwartz said. “They had a couple of small scenes together last year… and they were just really funny, there were little sparks between them. Stephanie and I were like, ‘They’re really fun together.’ It grew out of there - the writers all love them and love writing for them. It was a natural place for us to go to this year. It’s really delicious.”

Stephanie Savage About What's To Come for Chuck & Blair

• "They bring so many layers to there performances that [we] want to go further with the writing to see what they can do."

• "Chuck and Blair's relationship is about to be tested more then ever . . . it goes to a pretty dark place."

~~*~~

- Chuck and Blair will reevaluate the limitations on their relationship in episode 15 or 16.
- Most of the next episodes are centered around CB and the fallout of Bart's death.
- Blair’s bulimia is back as an upcoming issue, with Chuck finding out and taking about how they would support each other forever.
- In upcoming episodes we will see Chuck at his darkest points. Blair will stand by him, but she will need everyone's help. Blair will need Chuck in an upcoming episode, but it might not have to do with her eating disorder.
- The majority of the characters will be centered around Chuck for the next few episodes. Even in the scenes that don't have Chuck in them.
- Blair's father will make another appearance in an upcoming episode. This time it won't just be a Blair and her father interaction but rather more characters will also be in the scene.
- Chuck will never directly say "I don't love you" to Blair. While hurt, she's everything to him.
- There will be some flashbacks coming but they aren't going to be the entire episode.
- Blair will comfort Chuck, but it won't be so much of the "hug" scene. Lots of verbal hugging and general sardonic wit.
(PraesseM for the above)

~~*~~

- Chuck will be fighting for more than just Bass Industries in the upcoming episodes.
- Blair is going to have an internal conflict about her college decision, Chuck and her future. Something huge will be riding on all three.
- There is a pregnancy storyline in the works, but it is a MAJOR spoiler if it is done. It will not be Serena, Jenny or Lily.
- All the episodes (at least the ones filmed so far) are on par with 2.13. Episode 2.16 will feel like an episode filmed during season 1 pre-writers strike. Chuck is also a focus if not THE focus of the upcoming storylines.
- Not all of them will go to College like Schwartz said. The ones who don't will be surprising.
- Chuck's mother will be mentioned again. It will be part of a storyline that will make everyone very sad again.
- More people will find out about Chuck's mother secret before the season is out.
- The secret between Rufus and Lily will open up a can of worms and affect more than Dan and Serena.
- They are talking of writing Eleanor out next season. (Not death presumably)
