Serena comes back to town.
I place this one solidly in the middle because it wasn’t unexpected news - but it was fun news.
In the first episode, we get to meet Serena and attempt to find out what makes her tick. Of course, we don’t know what made her leave until the end of Season […]

Nate kisses Jenny.
No, it wasn’t as exciting as it sounds.
Nate didn’t realize it was Jenny when he kissed her - he thought he was kissing Serena. They were wearing similarly themed dresses at the masked ball.
The episode throws Jenny for a loop - she feels like she should tell Blair. Will she betray […]

Gossip Girl goes abroad!
As a nod to the global interest in Gossip Girl, ITV2 won the rights to air the CW’s Gossip Girl.

When Blair’s father didn’t come home for the holidays - and when Blair found out why - she reverted to her old ways.
Here’s hoping that the producers won’t let […]

Dan and Serena have sex.
Of course, you were expecting this to be further along - right - perhaps near the top?
Nah, it was way too predictable.
I mean, the set up was clever. I love that Serena put so much effort into making the whole scene beautiful… But the fact that they would eventually […]
