THE newest addition to The CW collection of addictive drama series', `Gossip Girl` has captivated viewers of all ages. Everyone loves to be on the down lo', and the mystery narrator of the show/author of a scandal-packed blogsite allows the young members of the elite Manhattan Upper-East Side Prep society to be in on everything gossip-worthy in their exclusive world.
The main players of the popularity game are so-called "best friends" Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf, who affectionately refer to each other as "S" and "B", respectively. The show premiered with a bang, starting right off with the inclination that all was not well in the world of the besties. "S" had been away to boarding school, and her return to Manhattan sent ratings soaring on Gossip Girl's blogsite. "B" did not seem very enthused about the reappearance of her best, and it was soon after revealed (to the viewers, as well as Blair) that all the commotion brought on by Serena's disappearing and reappearing act involved Blair's long-time beau, Nate. Now, the life of the wealthy and elite would not be complete without the classic antagonistic character--enter Chuck, Nate's best friend and a reckless wielder of power. Also take note of Dan Humpfrey, your everyday underdog--middle-class kid with long-time crush on "It" girl, Serena--and a key player in Serena's attempt at personal and social change.
Approaching the fourth episode of it's first season, we have already been catapulted in to the lives of these drama-filled teens, and we can't help but feel a new-found devotion to such an intoxicating storyline... perhaps a déjà vu to the early days of the late drama series, `The O.C.`? Gossip Girl boasts the same producers! However, just before any conclusions are drawn about the inevitable and drastic downfall of this show (Marissa to Ryan: "No, stay. Don't leave."), know that Gossip Girl first came to be as a book series, whose author--Cecily von Ziegesar--likely spawned ideas from her own perceptions of the Upper-East Side, where she grew up.
