Revealed who is gossip girl

And while fans may not agree with the thought of Nate played by Chace Crawford being behind the Manhattan madness, Safran has previously mentioned that that Eric van der Woodsen, Serena's little brother, was once considered for the role.

However, while at Vulture Fest , he revealed that that plan was abandoned after the New York Post wrote an article revealing that it was Eric after all. As for the cast themselves, fans already know how Penn Badgley, who played Dan, feels about the writers' decision. Appearing on Variety 's Actors on Actors series, Badgley and Crawford addressed the controversial series final and how they too were surprised by the revelation.

As we know, the Gossip Girl reboot is airing in mere days and will revive the original dilemma, thanks to a new Gossip Girl presence residing on an Instagram account. While it took us six whole seasons to learn that Dan Humphrey was the gossip blogger all along , the new series doesn't wait that long before letting us in on the secret.

That's right: the identity — or should we say identities — of Gossip Girl is revealed in the very first episode. In a major twist, instead of it being one of the students, it's actually the teachers at Constance Billard, which is now a girls and boys school. After a run-in with the mean girls at Constance on the front steps, Kate Keller goes to the faculty lounge, where she unloads about how awful the privileged students at the school are.

As she notes all the incredible people the school has produced over the years, including Nate Archibald, a fellow teacher and Constance Billard alum gives them a quick history lesson on the infamous Gossip Girl site from the original series.

She notes that students like Nate, Blair, and Serena "lived under constant threat" when they were at the school thanks to the gossip blogger. One teacher jokes they should try it themselves, and there the entire concept of the reboot is born.

Is Dan that good of an actor? Where is his Academy Award? And more importantly, how did this show not end with Dan Humphrey being thrown into a volcano?
