Gossip Girl here!

Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite...

Season 3 was a number of dreams come true. Serena dated Nate. Chuck was with Blair, and their relationship was stronger than ever! Dan was with Vanessa and Rufus with Lily. Jenny was queen and people were exactly where they were supposed to be.

Everything was perfect right? Enter Elizabeth aka Evelyn. A character that acted like Chuck Bass' mom. Played by Ed Westwick, he was the ONLY character with so much depth. I loved the guy, right from the first episode, he stole my heart.

Acting out due to bad parenting, he was a playaa as a kid, later he grew to be one of the most complex person ever. Every single episode spoke so much about why and how he was like that. He could never let people in. He was the best in pushing people away. He knew what's right and what's wrong. He saw the reality in everyone, even more than Blair Waldorf, played by Leighton Meester. Love that woman! She stood in support of Charles Bass no matter what the situation was.

All his life he was told that he didn't have a mother. But enter Elizabeth, and what would one do in his position? See if she is there for the money and push her away. One would hope that she wouldn't accept it. One would hope that Bass gets his mother atleast, now that his father was dead.

But happiness was never a part of his life. With so much money and power, its a miracle that he could go through each and every hurdle on his own. He grew and evolved by his own self. Anyone else would've cracked under pressure. Imagine Nate or Serena in Chuck's position. They would never be able to evolve into such a brilliant man.



Blair was more than efficient in getting things done. She was more than just a support to Chuck. Her character speaks volumes of the woman she'd become. From a scheming queen B to a dictator.

Trust issues that Chuck and Blair have, exist often in today's world. Being a produce of a bad parenting myself, I could understand every little thing that these two went through. It's been years but it still hurts. As I'm watching Gossip Girl for the third time, I realise that 99% of the characters had lovely homes, ammaaazzzinnnggg dresses and so much money that they can go to Paris, just to shop, but a personal life so messed up that it messed each of them in different ways.



Chuck had his trust issues alright, but he was a wonderful man. He knew who is real friends were, Nate, Serena and Blair. They made a good team. He knew who is his real family was. Lily, and it was always just Lily van der Wooden and Blair Waldorf that made him feel at home.

With anyone else, he wouldn't be able to open up, let alone be a friend. But that led to him being a good businessman. To be able to manage Bass Industries all by himself is something that a normal person wouldn't be able to do. It meant that he could become a man for a better part of his life. A life that Blair and Chuck would begin, setting off to own Manhattan!
