RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: I may be the only person in the world who’s extremely excited by the breakup of Dan and Serena on Gossip Girl. What’s next for both of them? — Randi
Ausiello:
A new love triangle for Serena that will eventually set in motion that whole Anne Hathaway-inspired plot I told you about last week. What I failed to mention in that story was that when Serena’s grifter love interest is first introduced, he’s in a relationship with her socialite bud, Poppy Lifton!

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Bella in Austin, Texas: Do you know if David will return with Donna when she heads for 90210?
There’s a chance Mr. Silver (Brian Austin Green) will eventually head back to the infamous ZIP code. He’s currently in Japan, but Tori Spelling tells us, “His lady Donna is in L.A., so maybe he’ll come on over.” For you hard-core original 90210 fans, don’t worry, David’s not hitting the speed anymore. He’s clean and “he’s a papa now,” adds Tori.

Margaret in Seattle: I still cannot believe that Nate and Blair are hooking up! What will happen with Vanessa?
Jessica Szohr
tells us, “Obviously, Vanessa’s a little bit hurt because that’s her boyfriend, but what comes around goes around, so I’m sure Vanessa will be all right.” Looks like Queen B may be getting yet another lesson in karma. Will it humble her or cause her claws to retract? Of course not!

Frances in Boston: Will Dan and Serena’s half brother make an appearance?
I’m told the tentative plan is to make him a major character next season. So that may put a big ol’ nail in the coffin of what was once our beloved Derena. Anyone care?

Leslie in Hattiesburg, Miss.: Now that Ty’s sticking around on 90210, will he be going after Annie?
That’s what I’m hearing. Now that he’s freed up from the baby-mama drama, Adam Gregory tells me, “He’s the kind of guy who’s going to take what he wants. He’s not going to let anyone stand in his way!” And it sounds like Ethan won’t see it coming either, since he’s got a new somethin’-somethin’ blooming with Rhonda (Aimee Teegarden). Dustin Milligan tells me, “It’s looking like there are going to be some drastic turns for everybody’s character? Ethan Ward gets to kiss everybody, remember that.”

News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl and The O.C.

7 02 2009
  • Diablo Cody wrote a column for Entertainment Weekly about her 90210 cameo experience.  She boldly says the new 90210 is better than the original.  Oh, Diablo.  Any real fan knows that is not true!
  • More Gossip Girl casting news!  We heard in early February that Nate (Chace Crawford) is getting a cousin.  Now we know who will be playing the role: Aaron Tviet, whose past credits mainly include Broadway shows.
  • The Daily Beast has a really thought-provoking article called Gossip Girl Deathwatch.  The story looks at similarities between The O.C.’s downfall (which you can read about here) and Gossip Girl’s current path.

6 02 2009
  • Diablo Cody tweeted about her guest appearance on 90210.
  • TV Gal over on Zap2it wants to know which main character you’d like to see leave the show.  Hard question!
  • Unrelated to the above, Korbi at Zap2it is reporting that the show is casting someone to be Naomi’s older sister.
  • Krysten Ritter is the first person to be cast in the Gossip Girl spin-off.  Ritter will play Carol, Lily’s older sister.
  • How am I just realizing now that Michael Cassidy (Zach, The O.C.) is on Privileged??  That’s what I get for never giving the show a chance!  Cassidy will also be on Josh Schwartz’s online series, Rockville, CA.




Biggest Character Transformations Pt. 3

6 02 2009

My look at the Biggest Character Transformations continues…

LILY VAN DER WOODSEN (Gossip Girl)

Who She Was: Lily grew up on the West Coast, where she lived a life of privilege before being kicked out of boarding school and going to live with her sister in The Valley. She became a band “groupie,” which is where she met Rufus Humphrey, and was institutionalized for a short time.  (Note: this all occurred off-screen, but some of it will be seen in the upcoming Gossip Girl spin-off!)

Who She Became: Lily returned to her privileged lifestyle, but this time on East Coast, where she married and divorced several times and became a socialite on the Upper East Side of New York City.

KELLY TAYLOR (Beverly Hills, 90210/90210)

Who She Was: The gang’s beautiful, popular, spoiled rich bitch who was obsessed with boys and shopping.

Who She Became: A major rewrite was noticeable by the end of season 3, where Kelly lost a lot of her shallowness.  The seasons that followed had a more logical progression with Kelly maturing and taking life more seriously, particularly by pursuing a college degree in psychology and working for non-profit organizations.  The 90210 spin-off rewrote the character once more, making Kelly a single parent and a high school guidance counselor.
