Is there anything you can tell me about Dair? Such as, is Blair going to be revealing any of her own feelings anytime soon? — Anna
Well, if you ask Ms. Leighton Meester, Dair can’t happen fast enough. She told a gaggle or reporters at the Gossip Girl 100th episode party that as much as she enjoys the “ups and downs” of Chuck and Blair, she says, “I think time apart has helped them and helped them grow. It’s helped me grow, too. And I think the one relationship I’d love to see play-out is Blair and Dan, because selfishly I love working with Penn. We’ll see.” Indeed, we shall. And meanwhile, Penn Badgley thinks he’s got the situation figured out. “I think that Dan thinks they belong together, but I think she always belongs with Chuck. I think Dan is Blair’s soul mate, but Blair is not Dan’s soul mate,” he says. Tragic, I told him. “Well, Dan’s a little tragic himself.” To that end, I couldn’t let him go without asking if there was any happy times in Dan’s future (Dair-related or otherwise), considering he’s been so down in the dumps lately. “Not yet,” he said with a chuckle.

Hi Sandra! Hope you have a great time at the party. Can you also shed some light as to why Louis’ family weren’t seen when they were shooting the wedding? Can we hope that Louis will join them in wherever they are any time soon so we can finally get Chuck and Blair together? Thanks and give them all a hug from me! — Loanna
Sorry, I didn’t give out hugs. I’m pretty sure I would have been arrested. That said, I did relay this question to Roxane Mesquida, who plays Prince Louis’s sister, Beatrice. Sadly, she wasn’t allowed to say much, but she did reveal that Beatrice definitely makes it as far as the bachelorette party. “It was insane. They brought all of Blair’s friends from high school and those were my favorite episodes — the first and second seasons. It was like the old Gossip Girl,” she said. But what about those paparazzi pictures of Blair being cuffed? Mesquida says, “Oh, it’s not crazy, like bad crazy. It’s just a lot of fun.”

Anything on Dair would be amazing! — @Leener
This one comes from up high — EP Josh Safran, who basically spelled it out for us, while still cleverly keeping us in the dark. “The heart has the capacity to have feelings for more than one person at the same time. I feel like that’s where Blair’s going and she’s going to discover that,” he said. So, as you see, if we’re in the dark and this quote is any type of light source, it would be a birthday candle. Good enough for now?

Hi! I’m really warming up to Nate/Ivy, are these two going to hook up for real? — Isabel E.
If you haven’t checked out episode 2 of Spoiler Room: Video Edition, I suggest you do! The lovely Kaycee DeFer weighed in a bit on this issue.

Spotted: The cast and crew of Gossip Girl partying it up at Cipriani on Wall Street in New York in honor of the show’s 100th episode, which airs Jan. 30. But fans also have reason to celebrate: While the show has yet to be officially picked up for another season, Gossip Girl executive producers told to EW just prior to the bash that they believe a sixth season is imminent — and are planning accordingly.

“We’ve had no one saying to us, ‘Wrap it up. This is the last season.’ So we’re not [treating the season finale] as such,” said EP Joshua Safran, hoping to quell some fans’ fears that their favorite teen drama would soon fall victim to dwingling ratings.

Peter Roth, president of Warner Bros. Television, also offered up his vote of confidence. “I can’t really say at this point, but I would hope and expect that there would be at least another year — if not years–  to come.” Which is good news, considering executive producer Stephanie Savage said the finale would “absolutely” leave fans wanting to see the next season. (Translation: I’d place my bet on a cliffhanger.) “We see [the finale] as a continuing, developing story,” Safran said, adding that the writers have about 6 more episodes to pen. “At the same time, like every season, we plan to show the characters’ evolution and where we’re going to go with all the twists and turns that are about to happen. So there are no plans to wrap it up.”

More immediately, most of the night’s chatter related to the show’s big 100th episode that will center around Blair’s royal wedding to Prince Louis. But, as fans have been teased, there will definitely be more to this story.”I think it’s our biggest episode since the pilot,” says Safran. “I feel like if you’re a fan of the show and you’ve been watching from the beginning, you’re going to feel rewarded. But I also feel like if you’re tuning in after a long time, I think you may feel like you’ve missed a lot, but we really try to hit on everything that’s happened since [early on]. I’m very proud of it.”

Meanwhile, Blake Lively told reporters that the cast just finished filming a big dance sequence in which ” we were all dressed as people who are not ourselves.” Matthew Settle confirmed “wedding crasher” Georgina would cause “epic” trouble. And 100th episode director Mark Piznarski, who also directed the pilot, admitted there were some moments in the episode that “brought tears to my eyes.” “To see our kids — I do still refer to them as ‘my kids’ — going through something [difficult],  that, as a parent, is a very emotional thing. So this episode is terrific.”

Beyond that, the cast was mostly sworn to secrecy about the specific ongoings and, naturally, couldn’t answer key questions that have been swirling the interwebs. (Will Blair actually marry Louis? What of the royal baby?) But Ed Westwick did have a small nugget for fans of Chuck and Blair, saying — without specifics — that they will likely find themselves pleased by the end of the hour. “It’s difficult for me to speculate as to the opinions of fans…but I don’t think they’re going to be disappointed, for sure,” he said.

Sandra! We Gossip Girl fans, can always count on you for some good spoilers! Let’s not break the tradition! Anything CHAIR? — @nina_lux
Next week, you’ll understand just how well Chuck’s therapy has been working. And yes, the answer has to do with Blair.

Question: When will we find out definitively who the father of Blair’s baby is on Gossip Girl? We still haven’t seen the paternity test. —Sarah
Ausiello: Exec producer Josh Safran tells me an answer — and a “cemented” one at that — is coming in the next couple of episodes, adding, “We definitely understand and expect people to still be wondering.”

Question: All this “Chair” regression is making me yawn. Can you offer us “Dair” fans any hope? —Elle
Ausiello: How about I offer you this tip instead: Be patient! Safran explains that a decision was made this season to “slow down the character connections to the point where it’s a little more realistic and maybe not as heightened” — and that includes Dan and Blair. “As the characters age, [they're] not necessarily jumping into things,” he adds. “Dan and Blair, of course, continue to be in each other’s lives. And this story is definitely continuing between Chuck, Dan, Blair and Louis.”

Question: OK, I have a burning question: WTF is up with the photo making the rounds of Gossip Girl‘s Blair getting arrested with a joint and tiara in hand? —Becca
Ausiello: Two things to keep in mind: The show has been shooting episodes out of order this season. And there’s a time jump coming up. That’s all I’ll say.

Update:

Fick en kommentar av en tjej som hade sett filmen och hon skrev såhär:

"Det är en väldigt liten roll, han är med max några minuter. Och filmen är dålig förövrigt."

Så nu kanske många kan lättare välja om det vill se filmen eller inte ;)

Question: OK, stop teasing and start spilling: What will Gossip Girl‘s 100th episode be about? —DianeAusiello: To quote a certain song from the seminal 1984 comedy classic The Muppets Take Manhattan, somebody’s getting, somebody’s getting, somebody’s getting, somebody’s getting, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody’s getting marrrrieeeed — and that someone is Blair. And the groom? Why it’s none other than Prince Louis. “The big event in the 100th episode is Blair’s wedding,” confirms exec producer Josh Safran, adding that the royal nups will be “big and lavish and twist and juicy.” The milestone hour will also reward longtime fans in that it will include “a lot of callbacks and echoes to the pilot. It was important for me to pay homage and respect [to our first episode]. There are a lot of Easter eggs. I think it’s going to be really beautiful.”

Question: Any scoop on Blair’s royal wedding on Gossip Girl? —CarrieAusiello: Safran says the 100th episode is as much about Blair as it is Serena. “The central relationship has always been the two of them,” says Safran. “Blair’s getting married and her best friend is her maid of honor — that’s a core dynamic we’re playing with.”

Question: I need to know more about the Gossip Girl kiss that awaits Blair. Is it followed by a clap, slap, or snap? And while you’re at it, how about a hint about whom she’ll be kissing? —EmilyAusiello: I’m definitely not spoiling whom she kisses. You’ll have to watch the Sleep No More-themed Nov. 14 episode for that reveal. I will, however, confirm that the smooch is followed by a slap.

A holy terror alert has been issued for New York’s Upper East Side, and here’s why: Georgina Sparks is headed back to town!

Gossip Girl exec producer Josh Safran confirms to TVLine exclusively that professional pot-stirrer Michelle Trachtenberg is returning to the show for a sizeable arc.

And far be it from her to slip in quietly in the night, Georgina’s reentry has been timed for maximum impact.

“Her first episode back is our 100th episode,” Safran reveals of the show’s milestone outing, which is set to air in early 2012. “Her arc is unlike anything that she has done before on the show. Of course, she still is Georgina and all that implies, it’s just taking that in a new direction.”

When last seen in the Season 4 finale, the now-married mother of one — bored to death by domestic life — returned to the UES looking for some trouble. What she found was an unlikely kindred spirit in interloper Charlie. (Ms. Sparks skedaddled shortly after discovering Charlie’s Big Secret, which is sure to make their reunion a tense one.)

But wait, there’s more: The sixth coming of Georgina promises to take on added dramatic effect when you learn what Gossip Girl‘s 100th episode revolves around — a burning question I will be answering this evening in the Nov. 1 edition of Ask Ausiello.

Hint: It’s a doozy.
