Frågor som en hemsida fick ställa till Stephanie kan innehåll spoiler så att ni vet!
Frågorna är om nästan alla karaktärer och dom har inte lagt dom i ordning för karaktären utan dom är utspridna. Hoppas ni fattar vad jag menar ^^
Chuck got shot in an alley in Prague. Are you trying to kill us? How does he come back?
All questions about Chuck’s health will be answered in the first episode. It’s pretty much out there that he survives. But the impact of the shooting will be long-lasting.
How does getting shot change him? Is he a nicer Chuck?
He’s a Chuck with a cane. And for the moment he’s given up his bowties and his scarves.
For what?
Tune in and see. If you’ve watched any of the materials that are online that gives you a good sense of the vibe Chuck’s rocking.
Where exactly was he shot that he now needs a cane?
What part of his body? In his left hip.
Does the ring resurface?
The ring does importantly resurface in the story. In the second episode.
How many karats was that?
I’m not sure. But it was worth over a million dollars and when I asked the Harry Winston guard if I could put it on my finger. He said no.
Oh smack. You used a real ring! What, was top drawer glass not good enough for GG?
Yes we did. And, no. The ring came with an armed guard. We just got to open it for the close up of the ring in the box. The insurance policy that we had written up didn’t cover it being taken out of the box.
Now that he’s back from the brink of death, will Chuck go to school?
Well, a bit later in the season Chuck actually does show some concern about his own education. It plays out in the story for us.
What sparks that — the shooting or Blair?
It’s a combo platter. Both factors.
Will he keep the Empire?
Yes.
What do you think of the Gossip Girl packages at the real Empire Hotel?
I’ve seen what they’re offering. I know they have some drinks in the bar that are named after some characters but I’ve never actually treated myself to a Gossip Girl week end at the empire hotel.
Chuck will run into Blair in Paris. How many episodes did you film in Paris?
Parts of Episode 1 and parts of Episode 2.
Why did he go to the City of Light?
That is part of the mystery that will be uncovered in the first episode.
How does Blair adjust to life at Columbia?We’re really excited about doing Columbia this year. We’ve shot some of those episodes. I think it looks really good and it feels really good. It feels a lot more like the core of Gossip Girl. I think when we went to NYU we left our world a little bit. Our dorm set was not our finest hour. It looked like a real college dorm but it didn’t necessarily feel like the school. And having Blair as a fish out of water for so long I think was a little bit difficult for the audience. So I definitely think this Columbia storyline will really feel like a homecoming, kind of a return to uptown environment. It’s something that feels very clubby and preppy and more like the core of the show.
Will she live on campus?She’ll live at home.
What’s her major?She’s discovering that.
This is still a recession even for the wealthy. How will these characters be affected by the economy?The story of being effected by the economy — our recession story — landed on the Humphreys, our middle class family when they were dealing with Dan going to college. But honestly most of the families on our show have such a depth of family wealth that the recession is not actually affecting them. We heard Gossip Girl tell us that Bart Bass has more buck than Bloomberg. And Bloomberg has 20 billion dollars. So that’s a lot of bucks.
Speaking of bucks, now that Dorota’s had the baby will she keep working for the Waldorf family?Dorota is definitely going to keep working for the family. But in the future juggling her own family and the expectations of the Waldorfs will create some conflict.
Will she be bringing the baby to work?Yes, at some point she will.
How will Dorota’s having a baby change the way they treat her?I think for Eleanor it’s really about how maybe she wasn’t the world’s greatest mother when she had a newborn. Maybe she was preoccupied by other things so this is really an opportunity for her to revisit that. And maybe be a little bit more involved in this baby’s life — whether Dorota wants her to or not.
What’s in store for Serena: Will she go back to school?Serena spends the whole summer trying to avoid thinking about home and to avoid thinking about her future. And then in the first couple of episodes she’s really forced to make some choices about her future and about her education and about her personal relationships. Meaning Nate vs. Dan.
Speaking of Nate, how far through Chuck’s little black book will he get?He gets pretty far. He got to the Vs at least, we know for sure.
Did he catch anything along the way?[laughs] Stay tuned.
We know Serena’s thinking romantically “Nate or Dan?” But will Nate and Dan be thinking of her in that way?I think they’re all going to feel like they never really got resolution on that situation. Dan’s train of thought was interrupted by the arrival of Georgina in the finale. So he never got to process his emotions very much at all.
Speaking of Georgina, is the baby Dan’s?I’m not going to tell you that!
Well, how will thinking he has a baby change Dan in Season 4?The baby’s going to have a big impact on Dan, how he thinks about himself, and what he wants. It affects his relationship with Rufus. It obviously affects his relationship with Serena and Vanessa, who does return in the first episode.
How far along in the pregnancy is Georgina and how far into the season does she give birth?I think there are already spoilers out there: You see the baby in the first episode. I don’t know if it’s out if it’s a boy or a girl. So we’ll hold on to that.
We know Georgina has a baby. But what else will she be doing?Having a baby is a full-time job for Georgina.
You mentioned that Rufus is going to be thrown through a loop with the baby. Where will Georgina live?
Dan and Georgina are together in the loft in Brooklyn.
Does Vanessa come back from Haiti alone and look for Dan?
Yes she does. But she ends up looking for Dan with some prompting. Just prompting.
Does Serena get a job?
She will make a decision about her future in the first couple of episodes. And we’ll see that.
Ah, Columbia. Now that Nate’s going through a bit of a promiscuous phase, will he bother returning to campus?
Yes, he’ll definitely be in school in Columbia.
Will Serena’s dad still be in hot water? Did he really get away free and clear?
He’s not in prison. He escaped. We’re hoping very much to have Billy Baldwin back in the second half of the season. But that’s not until after Christmas.
Tell us about the Harry Potter girl, Clemence Poesy.
We’re thrilled to get her on the show. We meet her in the Paris episodes. Her character’s name is Eva. And we meet her through Chuck.
How through Chuck?
She's with Chuck and we discover how she met Chuck and we learn about their relationship. But she’s someone who’s kind of very unaware of the Gossip Girl Universe. And she’s a real kind of innocent in this world.
When will Jenny be coming back? She said there was nothing left for her in New York.
Yes. Uh, she’ll come back eventually. But not for a long time.
What about Eric. What’s in store for him in school this year?
Eric is going to struggle, being in high school alone without Jenny. And he’s going to have to kind of find his way by himself. Eric and Jenny are both seniors this year.
I read that you’re changing Gossip Girl’s site in the show. Does that mean we’ll come closer to finding out who this gossip monger is?
No. Part of the changes is that she has even better security that before. Her identity will be even more secured.
Why? Will someone finally pull a sting to try and find her?
Well, part of updating the Web site is that we want it to feel a little bit more contemporary. When we started this how it was a bit more forward thinking. And in the last three years it felt like we’ve actually fallen a little behind the times in terms of what these websites can actually do. So she’s updated it with some new features which will prove vexing for our gang because they’ll be able to be followed and tracked and observed more than ever.
So we’re talking live TMZ-style live feed.
Yeah.
What about guest stars? We read that Tim Gunn was in, then he was out. So which is it?
He’s in. He’s playing himself in our sixth episode.
Any other guest stars?
In our first episode we have a set up of Fashion’s Night Out. Which then you’ll actually see in our third episode. We’re doing a big partnership with Fashion’s Night out where the actual sort of people who are involved organizing the event and the models and the designers have showed up to play themselves in Episode 1 and Episode 3, which is very cool. Let’s see. Who else is coming on our show? We have a big musical guest but the deal is not totally done. And Katie Cassidy is joining us for a long arc as Juliet Sharp. We meet her through Nate as a love interest for him and then we discover that she is going to cause a lot of problems for all our characters, but especially for Serena and Blair.
How so? How does she fit into their world?
Blair runs into her at Columbia.
How does Blair adjust to life at Columbia?
