TVLine Items: Gossip Girl Revealed! Plus: Community Actor to Pen Episode and More!

Who is the pot-stirring, trouble-causing, dastardly and devious Gossip Girl?

It’s the question on every fan’s mind as The CW soap of the same name enters its sixth and final season (bowing Oct. 8), and thankfully we can officially confirm that the mystery gal will be unmasked by series’ end.

“For five years, that’s the secret she said she’d never tell,” Gossip Girl exec producer Sara Goodman says of the blogger’s identity. “And,” adds co-creator Stephanie Savage, “this year, she’s telling.”

  • Wasn’t GG revealed to be Michelle Trachtenbergs character?

    • Nope she just took over when the real GG went on a break. After Georgina it was Serena (and then Nate?) before it went back to the original GG without revealing who she is.

    • Nah. It was revealed that when GG left her post after feeling guilty for having a part in Chuck and Blair’s accident, Georgina hacked into the website and changed the password so she could be the new GG. Then Serena became GG and then the original GG took over.

    • Nope. She hacked the site and took it over when GG went silent…

      Can we pretend that I didn’t know that?

  • Michelle was GG 2.0 ! After GG messed up and put Blair and Chuck into the hospital she stopped , and Michelle aka Georgina over took her position. After Georgina being over with Serena played GG for 5 eps, and now old GG is back!

  • I really hope Gossip Girl is someone we dont know at all

    • I kind of agree. I just don’t see how they could make GG any of the existing characters in a way that actually makes sense. It would just be contrived and ridiculous.
      That said, it would be awesome if they come up with some brilliant way to prove me wrong…

    Cannot wait to see the episode!

    • Same here! He got lots of acclaiim for his writing for the ‘Descendants’ movie, so I trust this won’t be any different in that regard. Cool news, I too look forward to that episode.

  • I’m pretty sure it’s Serena’s mom, otherwise why try to do a prelude series focusing on her teen years?

    Comment by Michael Sacal – October 5, 2012 12:29 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
  • I think it HAS to be Dorota at this point. If not it is one of the other Adults

    Comment by ggny – October 5, 2012 12:54 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
    • also its kinda weird that Nate and Dorota never really had a scene together

      Comment by ggny – October 5, 2012 12:58 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
  • Who even says that Gossip Girl has to actually be a girl? I think that it’ll be revealed that GG is actually Dan.

  • I really want Gossip Girl to be played by Kristen Bell. She’s the voice, so I’m already picturing her. PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE?

    Comment by Sarah – October 5, 2012 01:07 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
    • THIS!!

      Comment by Lee – October 5, 2012 05:25 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
    • Yes to this!!! And her character should be someone they know but we have never seen. Her agenda could be because she hates Blair and Serena and all of the upper east siders :) )

      Comment by JC – October 5, 2012 08:07 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
    • Agreed!

      Comment by AB – October 5, 2012 08:54 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
    • No it has to be Kristen Stewart but as an Au pair – nanny or something with a grudge someone that’s always around the upper east side and hears everything but no body actually takes any notice of

    • Totally agree!

  • Watch as Gossip Girl is revealed to be Nelly Yuki LOL (although I’m quite serious).

    Comment by Kalee – October 5, 2012 02:06 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
    • Nelly is returning this season as a foe for Blair (and maybe a love interest for Dan since she had a crush for him?!).
      Mark my words: GG is ………VANYA
      AKA Serena’s doorman and Dorota’s husband

      Comment by Hannah – October 7, 2012 02:07 AM PDT  Reply To This Post
  • What’s going to happen with Andy and Erin?! Even though the new guy is cute, I don’t want my OTP to be broken up

  • Oh my! I love Ed Westwick’s accent <3 I knew he was British but never heard him before.

  • I don’t watch Gossip Girl, but if they get Kristen Bell to actually be in the episode (since she’s the voice) i would definitely watch. I remember her saying in an interview a while back that she wants to play some random waitress or something that’s serving the characters their food and they don’t realize that she’s GG.

    Comment by zan – October 5, 2012 04:40 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
  • I think Mr. Shepherd, who got married in the first episode of GG and then threw a “divorce party” with his ex-wife on last season’s finale, is GG.

    Comment by TMW – October 5, 2012 04:42 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
  • Surely it should be Kristen Bell?

    Comment by CrimTV – October 5, 2012 05:03 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
  • I always said it was Eric.

    Comment by Keenan – October 5, 2012 06:00 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
  • You know you love me. XOXO

    Comment by GG – October 5, 2012 08:10 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
  • I hope GG is Kristen Bell! Since she is the narrator have her appear as someone on the fringes that they all know but was never in their inner circle.

    Comment by DeeKayTee – October 5, 2012 09:07 PM PDT  Reply To This Post
  • I hope she promptly puts a bullet to each of them and then the show ends. Its the only appropriate ending to this show really.

    Comment by Hojana – October 6, 2012 06:46 AM PDT  Reply To This Post
  • It has to be Kristen Bell. It will be weird if they showed another actress be the GG and the voice don’t match (unless we don’t see her talking…)

    Comment by Ethan – October 6, 2012 07:17 AM PDT  Reply To This Post
  • I would love it if it was Kristen Bell! Like they could just do a scene in the last episode where Blair or Serena bumps into her and she’s like “remember me from school?” She could be like some wallflower no one paid attention to back at Constance Billard’s but was GG all along!
