Gossip Girl: Why The Original Cast Won’t Reunite | The Catcher
Have you heard the news? There is going to be a Gossip Girl reboot and we genuinely can't contain our excitement. But if you were expecting to see the original cast members including Serena Van Der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, Dan Humphrey, Chuck Bass, Nate Archibald, Jenny Humphrey and Vanessa Abrhams you may want to think again. Unfortunately your favourite Upper East Siders won't be making their great return ... and they all definitely have their reasons! We look at which of the cast members dated off-screen, causing major drama. And no it wasn't Blake Lively and Penn Badgley. We also look at why Chace Crawford hates living in the shadow of Nate Archibald, why Leighton Meester found Gossip Girl to be an unhealthy environment and why Ed Westwick will NEVER return to Gossip girl.
So make sure to tap the video to get all the insider scoop!

This video makes it seem like Blake and Leighton hate each other when in reality Leighton Meester and Blake Lively just had different personalities and didn’t hang out. You’re not besties with everyone you work with.

Half of this is not even true. Blake and leighton were casual friends, they didn't hate each other. You don't have to be "best friends" with everyone you work with. Also chace and penn talked about the show in an interview and they seemed pretty happy about it. Even ed talks about gossip girl on his instagram a lot.

I’m not far into the show, but I’d never heard about a feud between Blake Lively and Leighton Meester. From what I heard, they were friendly to each other, just not friends. Blake seems very social, and Leighton seems a little reserved. They were just different. Afaik they never feuded, they just weren’t really friends.
So what the actor of nate was saying was that they (the actors not characters) were all encouraged to hook up with each other and that they all did by the end? Yikes!
I don’t understand, they’re is a new season of gossip girl but not with the originals actors?!?

Thanks to penn badgley’s podcast, we got to see many cast members reunite. Though I can’t say I’m surprised penn never had Blake lively on the podcast, must’ve felt awkward contacting his ex.
I just have to share. When I was young, I was busy having and raising kids. I never had time for tv. Now that my kids are just about grown, shows like this are my guilty pleasure. After watching both Gossip Girl and the OC, I found out that Leighton married Adam Brody and I was so happy! LOL
So basically all of them hated gossip girl and their roles in it
7:22 the fact that false claims of sexual assaults are a thing we can just really easily forget and leave in the past is a bit sad..

I wish theyd expand why the set was "toxic". That could mean anything.
In my opinion the cast is correct if there is a reboot make them play a lot older people. It was a great melodrama for their time you know filming and the two crazy elections and a plague later means they need to test their acting chops in something more realistic in another place and another time. Doesn't matter if they hate each, they are all pretty good actors who got old before my eyes when I binged on this series. No one even cares about the actual players of the adults in the room. What about Rufus and Lilly? They are good actors, too.
