Who should have been GG?


It does not make sense for Dan to be GG.
Why would he post a picture of Juliet posing as Serena doing cocaine?
Or post a picture of Serena buying a pregnancy test when she was his gf?
Post that she had an std?
How did he know where Damien was and his connection to Juliet and the pills she gave Serena that almost killed her?
Why did he post a picture of himself and Serena when he still was with Vanessa?


So, who should have been GG?


I think Penelope.

To me the best GG would have been Dorota. Who was helped by Vanya and the never seen Larissa along with the other "help" from the UES.

But it would also mean that she is rotten to the core and directly and indirectly caused a lot of pain. Also the mother/ daughter relationship with Blair would have been a fake. She must have enjoyed seeing B suffer while pretending to be honestly concerned with her happiness and well being.


This is a valid concern.

But even Blair thought it was Dorota lol. I don't think she would have been upset. And I don't think it makes their relationship fake. There were so many times Dorota tried to talk Blair into making the right decision, doing something or not doing something. I don't think that would be invalidated by her being GG. She could have been doing it BECAUSE she was GG and wanted to have good things to report on Blair. Or it could be seen as her way of trying to get through to her when she wouldn't listen.

Created by the parents. They hoped that by putting a spotlight on their children's bad behavior, that it would caution them against acting out. It failed. Big time.

I could see Lily paying somebody else to be GG. She would influence Serena way more by having control of GG and knowing what she is up to and scorning her in public, since Serena resented her so much for putting romantic relationships before family.

* I’ve known since the pilot first aired that Dan Humphrey is Gossip Girl. Gossip Girl writes about Lonely Boy when Dan is unknown. Gossip Girl immediately tries to make Jenny important. There are more hints in the pilot. And the rest of the series has Dan’s being Gossip Girl make sense. By the season 5 finale, when Gossip Girl says “Serena Van Der Woodsen is dead to me.”, who else could possibly be Gossip Girl? Only Dan knew of Serena’s betrayal. He tells Serena he doesn’t want to see her again.

Even Georgina and then Serena being Gossip Girl makes the most sense with Dan being Gossip Girl.


* First off, it’s implied that perhaps a few select others could post as Gossip Girl. Dan probably gave very strict guidelines.

<Why would he post a picture of Juliet posing as Serena doing cocaine?>

To see if Serena would believe she did cocaine; in addition, Dan knew Serena had issues that needed to be dealt with.

<Or post a picture of Serena buying a pregnancy test when she was his gf?>

Dan was in love with Serena and wanted the opportunity to tell her that.

<Post that she had an std?>

Dan was upset with Serena at the time; in addition, to try to prevent her from sleeping around.

<How did he know where Damien was and his connection to Juliet and the pills she gave Serena that almost killed her?>

Dan also discovered Nate was the target. Dan had sources and he has resources.

<Why did he post a picture of himself and Serena when he still was with Vanessa?>

Dan wanted to break up with Vanessa and be with Serena.

This is probably also when Jenny could write as Gossip Girl and Jenny would know Dan would prefer to be with Serena.

The latent causes of faction are thus sown in the nature of man [...] views
