Details on the return of Jack Bass and Diana Payne have our eyebrows raised to the ceiling right about now! Gossip GirlExecutive Producer Josh Safran dished some major gooooods this week on the life-altering changes afoot for Chuck Bass, and all seem to come at the hands of this pair of questionable characters.

“Doors are opened that Chuck was not expecting to be opened,” Josh told TV Fanatic of the developing storyline. “Things happen that change his perspective on who he is.”

Our first question: Uhhh, in a good way or a bad way?

After all Chuck has been through this season – what with all that “becoming a better man” business – we really hope these changes are for the good of our fave dude. Perhaps his rumored bettered relationship with Uncle Jack will help make sense of what’s sure to be some mega-turmoil as the truth about his mother is uncovered?

Because, as Josh told Perez Hilton earlier this week, “[Diana Payne’s] return will definitely answer the question of who Chuck’s mother is. I can say that much.”

As much as we hate to see our dear Chuck Bass in mama-pining pain, wealso kinda like the idea of a storyline that doesn’t see him obsessing over Blair in these current DAIR-infested waters… Yes? No? And about Dair, Josh echoed earlier sentiments of Dan’s concern over Blair’s predisposition to Master Bass, saying that the “specter of Chuck” will continue to haunt the budding romance. Dunh-dunh-dunh!
