Serena and Dan in real life



Chuck and Vanessa aren't the only ones hooking up off stage....Serena and Dan are too. They are the cutest couple on screen that they started to take it off screen. I was so happy when I found out they were a real life couple. Like Vanessa and Chuck on the show Dan and Serena come from different sides of the tracks. Dan is lower-middle class family from Brooklyn. Serena is a very wealthy girl from the upper-east side. This on-screen love tension makes their real relationship even hotter.



Unlike Chuck and Vanessa, they aren't just kissing, they are full on dating. They are so into each other that they even go on vacation together. They shared a romantic getaway in Mexico's Mayan Rivera. That was last May.


They are still going strong almost a year later. They are so adorable. This is one couple on Gossip Girl where the love scenes won't be awkward because they are actually dating. I just hope Dan and Serena's on-screen drama doesn't effect their real world love life.

Chuck and Vanessa in real life

As you all know from reading my blog, it is true that Vanessa and Chuck have hooked up on the show. Could they also be hooking up in the real world as well? For all you viewers out there who loved their scandalous hook up, your dreams have come true! They are getting steaming on AND off set. Not only can we watch Gossip Girl on Monday nights, we can watch it all the time.



They were seen kissing on February 2nd at the Knicks game.



















In December they were seen cuddling in a Texas airport.



They were seen kissing during a break from filming Gossip Girl. Not only did they kiss, but it must have been a mini make out session because they were also seen wiping saliva off of their faces. It must have been a juicy kiss! Along with kissing they also enjoy walking Vanessa's dog.



I hope that this little smooch fest turns into a full blown relationship it would be so cute. In the show they come from different tracks and it would make this real life Romeo and Juliet story so much better.

"The Captain"


I mentioned Nate's father, Harold Archibald in the previous post. He is referred to as "The Captain." Not everyone has been a Gossip Girl fan as long as I have, so some people don't know old Howie like I do. I figured since I mentioned him, I might as well give some background information on him.


1. He got his nickname "The Captain" because he was a former Navy captain. After is time in the Navy he became a wealthy banker.

2. He emptied Nate's trust fund, when Nate was in desperate need of the cash.

3. Nate got the money back, but when looking for answers he found a bag of cocaine in Howard's desk.


4. He gets caught with the cocaine by his wife. He blames it on Nate, and he is forced to take the fall for his father's actions.
5. He lied to his son and told him he only did cocaine once.

6. He was caught buying cocaine by Nate.

7. He punches Nate in the face while he was high when Nate confronts him.

8. He was arrested for the punch and in addition to the drug-related charges, he is being accused of embezzlement.
9. He goes to rehab for his full-blown cocaine addiction.

10. He buys a passport and skips town to avoid his fraud charges.

11. He moves to the Dominican Republic, leaving his family behind with his mess.

13. He is followed by the FBI, who knows he is in town.

14. He turns himself in to the police to serve his time.

Now we all see why Nate's father is sadly not in the picture anymore. Basically he ruined the entire family's relationship. He came around at the end and was honest and turned himself in.

Sedar Anything


yayyyy!! Finally a new episode..I hope it tops the last episode


Blair is having nightmares about losing her hope to go to Yale. She plans to be a socilite. The Waldorf family is getting ready for the Sedar, but Blair has plans with Nate. Cirus (Blair's stepfather) says he can get her in at NYU and she refuses because it is not Ivy League. Serena is back from Spain, she says she behaved herself. Chuck tells her he saw Poppy (who Serena went to Spain with) at a bar last week, which means she wasn't with Serena. Nate tells Blair he got into Columbia, he is debating between Columbia and Yale. Jenny has a crush on her science partner. She wants to get Dan a job with her crush's mother at a catering company. Nate's grandfather wants Blair to persuade Nate into going to Yale, he tells her he can get her on the social committee she got declined from. She agrees and bribes him with being a bridesmaid as well. Serena calls Cirus and tells him she thinks she needs a Lawyer.


Lily tells Serena she is grounded. Dan has his first day on the job, at the Waldorf house, he is nervous because his dad doesn't know. Nate wants to go to Columbia after having lunch with his cousin Trip. Nate tells Blair he wants nothing to do with his grandfather after the wedding. Serena got married in Spain, she needs Cirus to get her out of it. Dan overheard the conversation. Uh-oh.


Poppy and her boyfriend Gabriel got in a huge fight, broke up, and Poppy left Spain. Serena stayed to keep him company. Serena was really drunk and doesn't really if she is married. Dan is insulted/jealous. Lily and Rufus go to the sedar, there is a big art dealer there, Lily set it up. She wants to help Rufus out. Trip tells Blair that Nate is so happy to be back with her. Nate announces in his best man speech that he found out that his grandfather was the one had his father investigated. Gabriel comes to the sedar.


Gabriel tells Serena that she left him, not a note or anything. She tells Gabriel that Dan is her boyfriend. Gabriel was invited to the sedar and accepts. Nates grandfather tells Blair she has five minutes to fix this mess. Chuck is being a sex crazed maniac, and realize he had already slept with her a year ago. Jenny tells him off, and he is starting to realize how he is. Nates grandfather tells him that he only turned his father in after he confronted him and told him to stop. He also decides to tell Nate about he and Blair's deal.


Dan's father finds out that he got a job as a cater waiter to help make money for college. The beans are spilled that Serena and Dan aren't together. Nate confronts Blair about her actions, he tells her that he lost her trust and that she hasn't changed. Serena's mom tells her that she got into Brown. Gabriel leaves the dinner and Serena follows to talk. She tells him she isn't ready to be married, he tells her that they aren't officially married. He asks to be her boyfriend and they kiss, Blair comes crying to Serena.


Nate comes to Chuck. He assures her that Blair has in fact changed, she just needs someone to believe in her. Dan's father sold a painting, and is considering selling his art gallery. He tells Dan he isn't in love with selling art anymore. Chuck apologizes to Jenny about how he tried to attack her last year at a party. Blair tells Cirus she is sorry for missing his sedar, and asks him for help in getting into NYU. Nate comes to see Blair, they kiss and make up. Serena calls Gabriel and tells him she is glad he came back for her. Gabriel is with Poppy.


Next week's prediction: I think Nate and Blair are going to stay in love, and she is going to get into NYU and her and Nate are going to be together in the city. Serena and Gabriel have a bigger story to tell about Spain. Chuck is going to clean his act up.

Remains of the J







Yayyy!! Sorry I've been a little busy working on my research for my english class..this is why the blog is a little late. But yayy!!! There was a new episode of Gossip Girl that aired last Monday, March 30th. Sadly there will not be another new episode until April 20th :(. Anyway, here's the re-cap! I decided a new way to blog...I am going to make new paragraphs between each commercial rather than each scene.

Blair is avoiding Serena, she tells her she is at home when she is really across the street from Serena. Dan received his first fan letter. Vanessa is worried she lost Nate, it has been over a week since he has called. He finally sent her an e-mail letting her know he wants to see her. Serena meets up with Poppy, one of her A-list friends. Serena is going to throw Jenny a sweet 16 party, she invites Poppy. Lily makes breakfast for everyone where Serena and Lily tell Jenny they are going to throw her a party. Rufus finds the packet from Yale and Dan was denied because he could not get financial aid. Jenny is hesitant about having a party because she feels like she doesn't really have any friends and would rather just have a small family get together. Serena goes to school and finds out that Penelope is having a party the same day as Serena. Serena wants to keep Jennys party huge to out do Penelopes, she calls Poppy to help. Vanessa goes to meet Nate and sees him with Blair. Chuck cracked his account and sent the e-mail.


Chuck confronts Blair about Nate and she tells him they are just friends. Chuck tells her that her and Nate never had a spark and that he is still dating Vanessa. Dan asks Rufus about his Yale packet and Rufus lies and tells him that he left it at Lily's. She offers Rufus help, he refuses. She then tells him to sell the loft and move in with her. Blair wants Nate to break up with Vanessa so he and her can be together. Nate is going to dinner with Vanessa to break things off. Serena and Poppy take Jenny to Missoni to find the perfect sweet 16 dress. Serena decides to make some phone calls to make Jenny's party huge. Nate and Vanessa meet, he breaks it off with her, she left him first. She wants to try to work things out and Nate doesn't want to and tells her there wasn't anyone else. Nate goes to Blair's house and he tells her they are over and that it was because of no one else. Nate kisses Blair on the forehead and he goes home. Vanessa goes to Chuck's house and is mad that Nate said there was nothing going on between him and Blair.

Jenny is getting board games together to bring to her party. A realtor calls to speak to Rufus, Dan answers the phone and is confused. Blair thinks Nate is her destiny. Dan tells Jenny about the realtor, Jenny doesn't want to live on the upper-east side. Jenny walks into her huge party. Penelope cancelled her party and now everyone is at Jenny's party. She is not very happy about her party, she tells Serena she didn't want this. Serena's brother Eric tells Jenny she thinks Serena did it to let people know she can still throw a good party, so Jenny decides to tell everyone in a mass Gossip Girl text. Chuck is hitting on Vanessa on the way to Jenny's party, she turns him down. They walk in to see Blair and Nate flirting, they decide to kiss to make Blair and Nate jealous.

The party is now full of out-of-control teenagers, now Jenny and Serena are both upset with each other. Nate confronts Vanessa about to Chuck and warns him. She tells her that Blair and him are just friends, Blair confirms it. Blair locks Nate in a room with her, she wants to find out if there is any spark left. She tries to hook-up with him and he refuses, she is upset. Nate tells Vanessa is starting to act like Blair.

There are now kids everywhere outside the building trying to get in to the party. There are so many kids the cops were called, at the same time Rufus and Lily came home. Serena tells Lily that this is not her mess. Jenny admits that it was her fault. Jenny says that she does not want to be a park-avenue princess and basically that she does not want to move in with Lily. Serena goes out with Poppy and Poppy tells her that she needs to get away, she suggest a private jet to Spain; tomorrow morning. Serena tells her she might be "grounded" but decides to go Spain anyway.

Rufus and Lily decide it is too soon to move in together. Dan overhears the conversation between Rufus and Lily about Yale. Dan now knows that the reason they were going to move in with Lily was because of the money issue, Rufus assures him they will figure out a way. Blair tells Deroda that she misses her friend Nate. They see Nate while they are walking in the park, Deroda tells Blair that Nate called and asked where her favorite spot was to have their first kiss. He tells her he wants to be with her, just not how they were at the party. They kiss. Serena goes to meet Poppy and her boyfriend Gabriel, he realizes he has met her before and that she was calling herself "Savannah." Dan calls his fan, Scott and his parents answer because they see the Brooklyn call. Dan tells them who he is and they say they will pass the message along. The parents who answer are they parents who adopted Lily and Rufus's son! They think that Scott knows. Lily is shocked to find out Serena is going to Spain. Chuck wakes up with Vanessa. She wants to pretend last night didn't happen.
Next week's Prediction:

I think Chuck and Vanessa and Nate and Blair are going to start dating. I am still pulling for Chuck and Blair and I think they are eventually going to get back together. Once they do I think Nate and Vanessa are going to get back together. I think Serena might have hooked up with Gabriel before or they have some wild past together. Scott and Dan are going to somehow meet up and realize they are a lot alike and soon find out they are related.
