While a lot of the gang were probably consummate specialists in most cases, thrusting a lot of extremely young actors extremely unexpectedly into the spotlight is really a surefire recipe for at minimum a small amount of scandal, as GG showrunners Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage knew well from their time in the O.C. right right Here, we are revisiting nine of the very dramatic behind the scenes moments through the group of Gossip Girl.

if the whole cast had been low key setting up.

Blake Lively and Penn Badgley weren’t the couple that is only on screen relationship became a genuine life relationship in reality, apart from Chace Crawford and Taylor Momsen, everyone in the primary cast evidently installed with a minumum of one co celebrity. Leighton Meester and Sebastian Stan (who can continually be Carter Baizen inside our hearts, also now that he’s Marvel famous) had been thing for a bit, as had been Ed Westwck and Jessica Szohr which, we understand, Chuck and Vanessa scarcely count as an on display romance, nevertheless they did attach this 1 time. Together with grownups on set weren’t immune: Matthew Settle and Kelly Rutherford had been additionally rumored to be engaged for some time.

“we remember there clearly was one point where we had been simply afraid of just exactly how our lives that are personal our work life could be perceived by our bosses,” Lively told Vanity Fair recently, “but then we had been like ‘oh no, that is exactly what they need.’ They wanted all of us up to now.

Individuals could purchase into this global globe.”

whenever Taylor Momsen looked to the dark part.

With the fresh faced, sweet Little J of old if you’ve re watched Season 1 of GG recently, you may have had the deeply surreal experience of reacquainting yourself. While Jenny’s innocence ended up being constantly likely to turn out to be compromised by her social climbing tendencies, Momsen’s off screen punk rock change and make use of her musical organization, the Pretty Reckless, took things only a little further than the article writers decided. By Season 2, Jenny’s raccoon eyed negative attitude had become her defining character trait, and Momsen’s individual life including allegations of unprofessional behavior ( more about that below) spilled over into storylines in many ways that sometimes worked, and didn’t that is sometimes.

“I definitely failed to observe that coming… I do not think anyone did,” GG casting director David Rapport told Buzzfeed of Jenny’s character arc. “Taylor really keep reading tape so we cast her off tape, therefore we never ever had her here in individual. We had been interested in a woman who was simply in the brink to become a female I do not think we saw that goth relative part yet because she was still actually young; she had been possibly, like, 13 whenever we cast her. Once more, I do not think anybody had met her face-to-face and every thing had been fine because far when I knew, after which it sort of took a change.” Sure. Did.

whenever Penn Badgley types of despised the show.

Such as the life that is real Boy he had been, Badgley hasn’t actually made a key of his emotions about GG considering that the show ended. “I have a look at Gossip woman as a stamina test of all of the types,” he told The Guardian in 2013. On a single press trip, for Jeff Buckley film Greetings from Tim Buckley, he told Salon, “To be happy with one thing is really a actually good feeling. Also it’s a feeling that is new also it’s something that we wanna carry on with. I could walk only a little taller feeling that We don’t have to be constantly apologizing for the ongoing work that I’ve done in the last.” Ouch.
