TVGuide.com rather got Safran's ideas about why Blair is just about the show's most fascinating character (undoubtedly), why is this year more enjoyable than last (even when it did not come from Paris) and why Serena could find yourself being the very best movie producer ever: In the finish of last season, you stated Serta (Penn Badgley) and Blair (Leighton Meester) were totally not over. Josh Safran: I uphold that statement. So there's Chuck (Erectile dysfunction Westwick) and also the Prince (Hugo Becker) and Serta - Blair is going to be selecting among three men? Safran: Blair isn't selecting. Blair has selected her guy. But while you saw within the season finale, Serta continues to have feelings for Blair. And Chuck and Blair possess a complicated relationship - and that i use that term meaning in the manner people connect with one another, not relationship as with partnership. There is a connection that's ever present. It's certainly an extremely unique ... square? Gossip Girl: Serta and Blair aren't over! Plus, more season-ending spoilers Blair is certainly probably the most interesting person on the program at this time. Safran: I am sure it has been in TV before, but so far as we are concerned it has not (laughs), but we are very excited by various sides to Blair. It's like Chuck stated in the finish from the last season's finale: you will find great loves and you will find right loves. One's heart really is limitless, it does not just get chock-full once and that is it. Each one of the males fulfill different needs in Blair, and one thing she struggles with this particular months are looking for who fills in the most, probably the most you will need to construct a existence with. For the time being, Blair's busy planning her royal wedding, right? What type of extravagance are we able to expect that? Safran: Many of the authors are married, therefore it is been fun to delve back to, like, whenever you did the wedding cake-tasting -- let's suppose it is the cake-tasting for any future princess. And it is Gossip Girl so even when it had been a "standard wedding"... even at Lily (Kelly Rutherford) and Rufus' (Matthew Settle) wedding, you realize, Sonic Youth performed. So imagine our royal wedding. Can you say Blair one-ups William and Kate? Safran: It isn't a mentioned goal, however we'd fascination with the marriage to appear as lovely as that. It is simply that on network television 2011 it's unlikely. Hopefully it rivals that - they are certainly going to possess a huge beautiful Monegasque wedding.

Safran: Well, the Juliet (Katie Cassidy) story was twisty and dark also it took it's origin from revenge and also the wrongs of history, and last season started with Chuck getting been shot and what went down to him, the sadness of Blair within the Chuck and Jenny (Taylor Momsen) factor ... I was entering the growing season with many different darkness and reaching towards the light after that ... we simply saw this year as like: OK, let us open with La, land of sun and breezes and all sorts of that stuff. And just how did filming in L.A. rival Paris? Safran: I am talking about, nothing even compares to shooting in Paris! Shooting in La is incredible - the deck hands are wonderful, the cast was great, the locations are beautiful. But Paris is Paris. Whenever we pick support, Serena (Blake Lively) includes a place she's residing in L.A. and also the boys possess a yacht. And you will hear precisely how they were given that yacht within the premiere. But so far as La, it's certainly the Gossip Girl version from it. We are on the backlot, the thing is the sea - although not from the Malibu beach house because that's Entourage's L.A., that isn't our L.A. I was searching for very mid-century modern houses, Neutras, that type of sleek, sexy, glamorous L.A. Like, as we might have shot in the Chateau, we'd have. Serena did not like as being a personal publicist. Now it appears as if she's arrived employment she likes in Hollywood. Sensible choice on her? Safran: I actually do think Serena's abilities as someone who's the middle of attention and who brings people together and who, you realize, wears a shoe and all of a sudden everybody wants that shoe, In my opinion, yes, Hollywood is most likely an excellent spot for her. Especially being along the side of film that they is - not acting, but behind the curtain on the producer-type track, somebody that can put things the ones and projects together. Also in L.A. is Elizabeth Hurley's character, Diana Payne, a media mogul having a keen curiosity about Gossip Girl. We know she'll connect with Nate (Chace Crawford), why is she thinking about this site? Safran: Anybody who originates from media in NY City is extremely conscious of Gossip Girl like a major media presence and Diana virtually really wants to be towards the top of the media game. She sees Gossip Girl as a means of this. How about Dan's novel (Upper East Side tell-all)? How large may be the fall-out likely to be? Safran: That story really will unfold pretty gradually - gradually for Gossip Girl anyways - therefore it will not be immediate but it'll have reverberations through the whole season. Allow me to request one other way: Is anybody happy about his book being released? Safran: Certainly you will find an array of responses positive to negative.
