Gossip Girl is an American teen drama television series based on the book series of the same name written by Cecily von Ziegesar. The series, created by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, originally ran on The CW for six seasons from September 19, 2007 to December 17, 2012. Narrated by the omniscient blogger "Gossip Girl", voiced by Kristen Bell, the series revolves around the lives of privileged young adults on Manhattan's Upper East Side in New York City.
The series begins with the return of Upper East Side It girl Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) from a mysterious stay at a boarding school in Cornwall, Connecticut. Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), whom creators describe as the queen at the center of their chess game is a longtime friend and occasional rival of Serena's, and the queen bee of Constance Billard School's social scene. The story also follows Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick), the bad boy of the Upper East Side, and "golden boy" Nate Archibald(Chace Crawford), Chuck's best friend and Blair's boyfriend for many years. However, their relationship had been rocky ever since Serena left for boarding school.
Some of the other characters of the turbulent Manhattan scene: Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley), Dan's best friend Vanessa Abrams (Jessica Szohr), and Dan's sister, Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen).

The success of Gossip Girl led to adaptations outside the United States. The show has received numerous award nominations, winning 18 Teen Choice Awards.
From now on, I will be addressing the actors & actresses by their characters name instead of their real names. I mean I ADORE all of them like Blake, Leighton, Chace, Ed, Penn, Taylor, Jessica and so on. But this blog is about the show Gossip Girl, so I'll be addressing them by their characters. Hopefully, you fans there can keep up. I am sure y'all can! Haha
The first episodes of the first season included the original concept from the books, mainly following the lives of the five wealthy and privileged teenage characters in their high school years.
There is Serena van der Woodsen who is often described as the 'it girl'. It is revealed that she has had a scandalous past that continues to haunt her throughout the show and she is notorious for her many on-again, off-again relationships with countless male characters as well as for her rebellious drive-outs. Somehow I grew really fond of her despite her scandals. I can't help it. Her character is just so charming and wonderful and I fell in love with her.
Dan Humphrey is an outsider who becomes a part of the turbulent Manhattan scene, an aspiring writer and fairly straight-arrow guy with a good heart and morals. He is someone I actually liked because he was the only "normal" and interesting one without being born with a silver spoon. I like that he wanted to fit in so bad..I can actually relate.
Blair Waldorf is the beautiful Queen Bee of Constance Billard School's social scene, as well as Serena's best friend and occasional rival. At first, in the first few seasons, I actually don't really like her but after a while, I grew liking her and realized I share quite a fair share of similarities. Macaroons, fashion, weddings, being a planner and an organizer, fighting for her love and so on.
Nate Archibald is the perfect "Golden Boy" of the Upper East Side, always being fought over by the prominent female characters, and deals with a lot of issues that compromise his "perfect" life. And he is just let's just say very visually appealing! I love him so much and just love watching him.
Chuck Bass serves as the show's antihero, being a womanizer and party lover with a troubled life and past that provide a hidden vulnerable side. But trust me, in later seasons you know why you'll love him, The way he fights for Blair and loves her and guards her and adores her... aaaaahhh it's like a fairytale watching their passionate romance get from romantic and sweet to fiery and feisty.
Those are the 5 main characters. Besides them, there are other characters like Jenny Humphrey who is Dan's younger sister, who desperately tries to become the next queen bee, a goal that eventually makes her realize the true values of life. And mmmmm her designer sense is just impeccable.
Lily van der Woodsen, Serena's mother and Dan and Jenny's father Rufus Humphrey share a romantic past that follows them throughout the show and eventually leads to their marriage. And then.. well sadly it didn't work out in the end.
Vanessa Abrams is as Dan's past love, and her best friend and their friendship is just beautiful! And then.. also sadly, it came to an ugly end.
There is Eric van der Woodsen, Serena's kind and compassionate brother, who comes out late and becomes very close with Jenny.

Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg) is an occasional antagonist in the show, with a recurring role. Carter Baizen (Sebastian Stan) appears as Chuck's enemy with a romantic interest in Serena.
Kaylee DeFer plays Ivy Dickens, an actress from Miami who is hired by Lily's sister, Carol Rhodes (Sheila Kelly), to portray her daughter, Charlie Rhodes, to access her trust fund. Ella Rae Peck plays the real Charlie Rhodes, who goes by the name of Lola.
Many characters appear as guest stars as parents and other relatives of the main cast. Eleanor Waldorf-Rose (Margaret Colin) and Harold Waldorf (John Shea) appeared as Blair's divorced parents, with Cyrus Rose (Wallace Shawn) as Eleanor's husband and Blair's stepfather.
Dorota Kishlovsky (Zuzanna Szadkowski) is Blair's loyal maid. And I honestly thought she would end up being Gossip Girl. BEST MAID EVER!!!!
Anne Archibald(Francie Swift) and Howard "The Captain" Archibald (Sam Robards) are Nate's estranged parents, while William van der Bilt I (James Naughton) and William "Tripp" van der Bilt III (Aaron Tveit) are Nate's manipulative grandfather and cousin, respectively. Bartholomew "Bart" Bass (Robert John Burke) is Lily's late husband and Chuck's demanding father, and Jack Bass (Desmond Harrington) is Bart's brother and Chuck's manipulative uncle. Celia "CeCe" Rhodes (Caroline Lagerfelt) is Serena's grandmother and Lily's mother and Gabriela Abrams (Gina Torres) is Vanessa's mother. Introduced in Season 4 is Blair's new boyfriend/fiance, Prince Louis of Monaco (Hugo Becker).

Primarily filming in New York, Gossip Girl has been declared by New York Magazine as the "Most Restauranty Show Since Sex and the City", citing the pilot episode filming locales such as the Japanese restaurant, Geisha, the Campbell Apartment where Nate and Serena were filmed having sex and the New York Palace Hotel bar Gilt.
Other New York City landmarks and well-known establishments were filmed throughout the first season. Victor/Victrola filmed the fictional infamous Chuck Bass burlesque club, Victrola, at The Box Manhattan, a sister club to The Box Soho in London. The fictional Constance Billard-St.Judes School, based on novel writer Cecily Von Ziegesar's alma mater, Nightingale-Bamford used external shots of the Museum of the City of New York.

The second season premiered at the Hamptons and began filming in mid-June. The season premiere opening montage showed a scene at Cooper's Beach that was instead filmed in Rockaway Beach followed by an elaborate white party.For the sixth episode of the season, Columbia University was used to film the Yale campus, an episode that followed disappointment from Yale fans due to its erroneous portrayal of the admissions process and reliance on Ivy League university stereotypes. During the season's seventh episode, the Brooklyn Inn is integrated into the show. Remaining true to its New York locations, the show filmed at the Russian Tea Room.
The fourth season premiered on September 13, 2010, with the first two episodes filmed in Paris. New York Magazine revealed several locations shot at the French University, La Sorbonne in the Latin District (or Quartier Latin) of Paris on July 5. Other locations include the Musée d'Orsay, the Eiffel Tower, the Gare du Nord, Avenue Montaigne. and Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Columbia University became the primary filming location for the first few episodes of the season following the Paris story arc.
The fifth season premiered on September 26, 2011, with the first two episodes filmed in Los Angeles, California.
Because of its location in New York, executive producer Stephanie Savage said "We were quickly told it would be too expensive, too complicated" at the beginning of the series. She told it had been proposed to shoot in a Los Angeles studio that would recreate Central Park but they eventually filmed the series in New York. Savage explained their choice to film there: "There's no New York City on TV, or there wasn't when we started making the pilot, except what you could see in the background behind the dead bodies on cop shows. We've never seen the city from the point of view of teenagers. It felt like a world with high stakes for young people." Schwartz added: "What's funny about these teenagers is they grew up watching Sex and the City, even though it wasn't about them. And I think they've probably incorporated that into how they mythologize New York. I fought really hard to shoot the show in New York because we want New York to be a character in the show." Many scenes were filmed in the Empire Hotel on the Upper West Side
After watching the show, I definitely want to travel so bad. My love for New York grew way more. I can only wish that one day I can experience their lives if not at the very least live in a beautiful apartment in NYC.
And if given a chance I would definitely take Paris by storm by buying tonnes of macaroons from Laduree, visit the boutiques, see the Eiffel Tower and drive around in a Vespa.
- Visit Grand Central Terminal where Serena returned to NYC in the first episode
- Pass the Vera Wang boutique where Blair tried on her wedding gown
- Shop at the candy store where Dan helped Vanessa shop
- Get spotted at Constance Billard & St. Jude's schools
- Hold court at the Met Steps while you stop for a photo opportunity
- Visit The Empire Hotel, site of Chuck Bass’ newest home and business
- Go on location at Henri Bendel where Blair and Serena shop
Now.. a summary of all the 6 seasons.
Season 1: 2007–2008
The first season's main focus is Serena van der Woodsen's sudden return to the Upper East Side following her mysterious disappearance. Everyone is extremely shocked at her sudden return, including her best friend, Blair Waldorf. It turns out Serena returns from Boarding School to see her suicidal brother, Eric. Blair soon finds out that Serena had slept with her boyfriend, Nate Archibald, the night of her disappearance.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn boy Dan Humphrey and Serena begin dating while Nate struggles with his feelings for Blair. The two try to salvage what's left of their relationship, only leaving Blair to lose her virginity to Nate's best friend, Chuck Bass, instead. Jenny Humphrey constantly tries to make it in this upscale world by following around Blair and her friends. Rufus Humphrey, her father, worries that Jenny may be losing herself as she strives for popularity. Vanessa Abrams, Dan's best friend, returns.

Problems erupt between Dan and Serena, since Serena tries to hide her secret from him and Georgina (pretending to be Sarah) manipulates Dan.

Season 2: 2008–2009
The second season mainly explores the senior year of the characters with the premiere at the Hamptons and primarily focused on the relationship between Blair and Chuck, who were labeled "the heart of GG" by People magazine. At first, both characters negate their feelings for one another, and go through random schemes and manipulations.
The first half of the season deals with Serena's growing prominence as a socialite which draws the attention of Blair as their friendship is tested when the character of Poppy Lifton (Tamara Feldman) arrives, a socialite who inadvertently drives a wedge between Serena and Blair after inspiring Serena to take her place in the spotlight during the early episodes of the season.
Nate faces the aftermath of his father's criminal past and pursues a relationship with Vanessa, who becomes further entangled into the world of the Upper East Side. Jenny reignites her rebellious nature by pursuing a career as a fashion designer, thereby challenging Rufus' skills as a parent while Dan's friendship with Nate and relationship with Serena slowly transforms him from a social outcast to an insider. The show finished its first half during the first week of December, with the shocking death of Bart Bass.
The second half of the season reveals the impact of Bart's death, causing a significant change of character direction for Chuck that subsequently leads to the growth of Rufus and Lily's relationship, the revelation of the two having a son together, and contributing to the decline of Dan and Serena's relationship. John Shea reprised his role as Harold Waldorf during a Thanksgiving episode and becomes entangled in Blair's striving ambition of attending Yale. Desmond Harrington entered the series as Chuck's manipulative uncle, Jack Bass. Feldman returned to the season with Armie Hammer as Serena's new love interest, Gabriel Edwards.Michelle Trachtenberg returned to the role of Georgina Sparks and filmed her scenes during February, also adjoining her character's return to the second season mystery.
As the storylines progressed, the role of "Gossip Girl" is slightly decreased. She continues to run her blog, but she keeps the ultimate information for herself, sending it in the final episode as the last blast, where Serena decides to find out who "Gossip Girl" really is, but ultimately fails. The season finale ended with a well-received kiss between Blair and Chuck.

I love the friendship between Serena & Blair. All the fights but BFFs for life. I really love this and it reminds me of my friendship with Sharlini.
There's these 2. Dan & Vanessa. They have been besties for life and feelings got in the way but sadly their friendship had to end but before feelings happened, it was beautiful how they depicted that a girl and guy can be best friends. Something like what Asswipe & I have.
Aaaaahhhhh!!! The two. Chuck & Blair. Blair & Chuck, Once they got together, you know it was it. They were perfect for each other. They had their romance at a level where anyone and everyone would be envious about. I love it so so much. They were best friends, partners in crime. Future goals. Couple goals. Everything. Like of course I would want a love that would thrive like theirs. So madly in love with each other and with each other regardless of anything and anyone.
Couldn't be happier when they finally got married in the end. Now that is true love!!!!
Then there's these 2. If you wanna know bromance.. learn from them!
Lastly, Dan & Serena. Ups and down and knew they were meant for each other. Soul-mates.. "The One".. blah blah. Just happy they ended up together. Like finally! hahaha!!
So that's it guys.. we have come to the end of the Gossip Girl blog post. Hope you enjoyed reading it..especially for GG fans. hopefully, there'll be a reunion one day just like how Mean Girls are having Mean Mums!
Till next time
