Isabella: What’s coming up for Dan this year on Gossip Girl?
Dan is going to the dark side! “He’s actually going down a dark path finally, but in a real way,” Penn Badgley told E!’s Marc Malkin at the Toronto International Film Festival. “I mean, I think he’s dabbled in the dark before, but you’re like, ‘Dude, that’s not that dark. You don’t know what dark is.’ It seems like he might be going there a little bit, but it’s good.” So just how dark is Dan going in this final season? While he couldn’t reveal too much, Penn teases, “I think he might be betraying people in a profound way that he’s never had the balls to or the lack of heart to.” Yikes!
