Gossip girl fanale

We just got off the phone with executive producer Stephanie Savage to ask our lingering questions about last night's series finale of Gossip Girl. How hard was it to find a kid who looked so much like Leighton and Ed? We had a few good contenders, but Alex who played Henry, was just like if you made computer program of what Chuck and Blair's kid would look like he would come out. We loved it. When did you know that Chuck and Blair were endgame?

Sure, the show has had its ups and downs, but isn't that part of its charm? And who is Gossip Girl? Plus, a star from The O. Gossip Girl costume designer Eric Daman reveals his favorite Blair looks. Sorry, dude, but we're hoping your second brush with death actually sticks.

The revelation that Dan "Lonely Boy" Humphrey was Gossip Girl all along was a fitting end to the show, in the sense that it was an incomprehensible mess best enjoyed as self-parody. Co-creator Stephanie Savage has claimed that Dan as GG was always the plan, and that the pilot even had to be recut because one sequence seemed to make the twist too obvious. Dan literally writing himself into their narrative, penning snarky commentary on his relationships with Serena, Blair, et al while playing the innocent nice guy, is a potentially amazing antihero story. So is this actually a psychological thriller about a teenage sociopath with dissociative identity disorder? But … you wrote the post, weirdo.

That happened. Oh, and that newspaper had a private plane in the series finale. She was at boarding school.
