BUtterfield 8 40,688 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Well, at this year's Vulture Festival, Gossip Girl writer and executive producer Joshua Safran finally answered the much-asked question: Why in the hell was Dan Humphrey Gossip Girl?!?! But before Nate, he "had his heart set on Eric." “We worked hard to kind of lay in tiny seeds about it being Eric, and then the NY Post wrote an article saying that Gossip Girl was Eric so we were like, 'We gotta scratch that.'" "Then...one of the writers realized that Nate had never sent a tip in to Gossip Girl, which is true at least through the end of Season 5. Nate never sent in a tip in through all of those episodes, which is when we're like, 'Oh, well then he's Gossip Girl.'" https://www.buzzfeed.com/shylawatson/gossip-girl-actually-nate-not-dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katherine 1,763 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I think Nate would have worked better, as he was too innocent and actually out of that world, being that he was actually part of it. It could have been a little obvious, but it'd be a good twist. He never showed that much interest. Dan was always that hypocrite guy who "hated" the world he was so desperate to fit in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Ambition 47,805 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I'll honestly never get over the fact that they chose Dan as Gossip Girl, that was so stupid to me Even Dorota would have been a better choice ▌│█║▌║▌║ before I am Canadian, I am Chromatican ║▌║▌║█│▌ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromaticunt 5,529 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The writers really went five seasons before even considering who Gossip Girl could be? I forgot about that blond Helix Studios twink Eric. He was a little gay babe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she would have been excellent since she basically knew about everything The fact that the writers didn't even know who Gossip Girl would be until the end of season 5 Still love the show though ▌│█║▌║▌║ before I am Canadian, I am Chromatican ║▌║▌║█│▌ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProdigyARTPOP 3,899 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 They actually had said it would be Eric but then that became public so they settled for Nate, they had that set in stone up to Season 5, but like he said, he didn’t have the final say, because they went in a different direction when they got a different writer for S6.
