‘Gossip Girl’ Leighton Meester ‘wants more Dan, Blair’

Published by Gioia in Gossip Girl . Nov 21 , 2011

Leighton Meester has said that she would love more scenes between Dan and Blair on Gossip Girl.

The duo have grown closer in recent months and Meester has now admitted that she would like to explore the relationship further.

“The one relationship I’d love to see play out is Blair and Dan,” she told TV Line. “Just selfishly, honestly, because I love working with Penn [Badgley]. So we’ll see!”

Meester also dropped some hints about the upcoming 100th episode of the show, which will focus on Blair’s wedding.

“[Blair's] engaged to a prince, so what could be better than that?” she said. “But then you realise that the fairytale isn’t 100% perfect.”

Meanwhile, Badgley hinted that Dan will be involved in the wedding, saying: “Dan has a role to play that is not conventional… There will be a lot of gasping [from viewers when it's revealed].”

Badgley has previously admitted that he too enjoys exploring the relationship between Dan and Blair.

Gossip Girl airs on Mondays at 8/7c on The CW in the US and on Wednesdays at 8pm on ITV2 in the UK.

Gossip Girl 100th Episode Scoop

Published by Gioia in Gossip Girl . Nov 21 , 2011

Spotted: The cast and crew of Gossip Girl partying it up at Cipriani on Wall Street in New York in honor of the show’s 100th episode, which airs Jan. 30. But fans also have reason to celebrate: While the show has yet to be officially picked up for another season, Gossip Girl executive producers told to EW just prior to the bash that they believe a sixth season is imminent — and are planning accordingly.

“We’ve had no one saying to us, ‘Wrap it up. This is the last season.’ So we’re not [treating the season finale] as such,” said EP Joshua Safran, hoping to quell some fans’ fears that their favorite teen drama would soon fall victim to dwindling ratings.

Peter Roth, president of Warner Bros. Television, also offered up his vote of confidence. “I can’t really say at this point, but I would hope and expect that there would be at least another year — if not years– to come.” Which is good news, considering executive producer Stephanie Savage said the finale would “absolutely” leave fans wanting to see the next season. (Translation: I’d place my bet on a cliffhanger.) “We see [the finale] as a continuing, developing story,” Safran said, adding that the writers have about 6 more episodes to pen. “At the same time, like every season, we plan to show the characters’ evolution and where we’re going to go with all the twists and turns that are about to happen. So there are no plans to wrap it up.”

More immediately, most of the night’s chatter related to the show’s big 100th episode that will center around Blair’s royal wedding to Prince Louis. But, as fans have been teased, there will definitely be more to this story.”I think it’s our biggest episode since the pilot,” says Safran. “I feel like if you’re a fan of the show and you’ve been watching from the beginning, you’re going to feel rewarded. But I also feel like if you’re tuning in after a long time, I think you may feel like you’ve missed a lot, but we really try to hit on everything that’s happened since [early on]. I’m very proud of it.”

Meanwhile, Blake Lively told reporters that the cast just finished filming a big dance sequence in which ” we were all dressed as people who are not ourselves.” Matthew Settle confirmed “wedding crasher” Georgina would cause “epic” trouble. And 100th episode director Mark Piznarski, who also directed the pilot, admitted there were some moments in the episode that “brought tears to my eyes.” “To see our kids — I do still refer to them as ‘my kids’ — going through something [difficult], that, as a parent, is a very emotional thing. So this episode is terrific.”

Beyond that, the cast was mostly sworn to secrecy about the specific ongoings and, naturally, couldn’t answer key questions that have been swirling the interwebs. (Will Blair actually marry Louis? What of the royal baby?) But Ed Westwick did have a small nugget for fans of Chuck and Blair, saying — without specifics — that they will likely find themselves pleased by the end of the hour. “It’s difficult for me to speculate as to the opinions of fans…but I don’t think they’re going to be disappointed, for sure,” he said.
