Five Reasons We're Dreading the Return of Gossip Girl


Yes, we have April 18 circled in bright red on our calendar. Yes, we check the TV Guide every week just in case they’ve decided to have mercy and move up Gossip Girl’s return. But that doesn’t mean we’re not also dreading the show’s return the teensiest bit. We love our Upper East Siders — but when last we left them, many seemed poised for major disaster. Here are five reasons we’ll be watching from between our fingers when Gossip Girl returns.

Look at yourself, Serena! What could you possibly have to be upset about?
1. Chuck’s heartbreak: Nothing stays secret on GG for long. What will Chuck do when he finds out about Blair’s dalliance with Dan? When he slept with a Humphrey, he exiled himself to Europe and got himself shot. How will he react to Blair’s new romance? Not very well, if this sneak preview is any indication.

2. Jailbird Lily: Lady L has turned herself in for perjury. Will she get off with a slap on the wrist and a fine? The reappearance of her creepy ex suggests she may be in worse trouble than we thought.

3. Eric’s descent into madness: Little E used to be the sensible one. This year, he’s getting hooked on drugs, befriending shady characters, and scheming with the best of them. We’re worried he’s headed back to where we first saw him: The Ostroff Center.

4. Serena’s next bad news boyfriend: We’re relieved she’s no longer hot for teacher, but let’s face it: Her next boyfriend will probably be just as creepy.

5. Bart the murderer: Did Bart Bass really killRaina Thorpe’s mom? That sounds like him. Which brings us right back to poor Chuck. We have a feeling he’s not going to have a very good spring.

What will be the fallout from that hot Dan and Blair kiss in "Empire of the Son"? We doubt any of their UES exes will be throwing a parade for them — including supersleuth Vanessa. | Original Air Date: April 18, 2011, 9/8c
