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!

Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) is Gossip Girl’s resident bad boy, a wolf in cashmere. Chuck’s endless snark is the show’s most consistent through-line, especially when paired with Blair’s (Leighton Meester) b*tchy banter. Here are just a few of Chuck’s best barbs to date:  

10. Let's catch up. Take our clothes off. Stare at each other.

9. Look, I care about three things, Nathaniel: money, the pleasures money brings me, and you.

8. There's nothing more boring than a sense of morality, Humphrey.

7. I want them young and unstable.

6. Do you really think I want to spend the weekend watching girls with tramp stamps work out their daddy issues?

5. For people like us a college degree is just an accessory. Like a Malawi baby or a poodle.

4. This party is about excess, not exposition. Stop talking.

3. The black market’s not what it used to be.

2. Don't mock the scarf, Nathaniel. It's my signature.

1. I'm Chuck Bass. Even Europeans must know what that means.

Beneath the never-ending Chuck Basssuits is one heavily tattooed body. Gossip Girl star Ed Westwickis an avid body ink enthusiast, boasting more than a handful of tattoos all over his hunky British bod — including song lyrics, a topless lady, and a tattoo in reference to the weight of the human soul.

Ed tells Interview, “I’m a big fan of Elvis, man. I got 'Heartbreak Hotel' tattooed on my chest. Yeah, and I’ve got '21 Grams,' 'Love Me Two Times,' the song by the Doors. I have 'I Heart Romance' on my forearm and 'You Make Me Feel Like the One' across my shoulder.” The inspiration for “I Heart Romance?” A bathroom stall in a bar in Brooklyn, Ed says, explaining simply: “I thought it was cool, so I got it.” The “21G” (short for 21 grams) tattoo is a nod to the purported “weight of the human soul,” according to People.

Ed reportedly plans to get “way more” tattoos, because: “They're addictive. Live fast, die young. Be a good-looking corpse.” There’s one special lady who is not a fan of Ed’s ink addiction, however: his mom. She particularly hates his upper right arm tattoo of a topless woman. Of his parents, Ed tells OK!, “They’re pretty proud, I think, except [for] the tattoo. [I’m the] black sheep of the family.”
