No one knows Gossip Girl’s identity, but all in this exclusive and complicated vicious circle relies on her text messages for the latest scoop. Serena’s closest friend, Blair (Leighton Meester, "Surface"), is just as surprised as all else to find that Serena has suddenly finished her self-imposed ?migr? to boarding school and returned to Manhattan. The tension between Blair and Serena isn’t lost on Gossip Girl, who is determined to uncover and fuel any and all scandals. Does it involve Serena’s brother Eric (Connor Paolo, "One Life to Live"), Blair’s boyfriend Nate (Chace Crawford, "The Covenant") or Nate’s buddy Chuck (Ed Westwick, "Children of Men"). Maybe it has something to do with Dan (Penn Badgley, "John Tucker Must Die") and his sister Jenny (Taylor Momsen, "Spy Kids 2," "How The Grinch Stole Christmas"), whose midpoint-class background keeps them on the border of this exclusive clique. Even the parents from Serena’s mother Lily (Kelly Rutherford, "Melrose Place"), a former ballerina/rock-groupie, to Nate’s high-powered father Howie "The Captain" Archibald (Sam Robards, "The West Wing"), to Dan and Jenny’s dad Rufus (Matthew Descend, "Brothers and Sisters"), a former rocker twisted art gallery owner are aware that their sons and daughters are constantly read-through their Sidekicks to read Gossip Girl’s latest sightings and overheard tidbits.
