AIBU to think Dan and Blair was the most utterly ludicrous pairing of the season?

Side note: the real love story should’ve been Rufus and Lily and it annoys me all the time it wasn’t.

I’m procrastinating.

@alittleadvicepls

its on BBC iPlayer!!

Is it now! I might have to have a rewatch. Wonder if I can persuade DD13 to watch with me.

Drywhitefruitycidergin · 05/07/2023 20:25

Blair & Chuck were my faves. Loved GG.
Made my mum take a photo of me on steps outside Moma when we went to NY for my 40th even though it was torrential rain.
Wondering what age I can introduce it to DD at. She's 12/just finishing yr7.
Maybe 14?

@Merryoldgoat Dan and Blair were absolutely horrendous together 🤣 But, there was nothing more ludicrous than the Dan/Vanessa/Olivia Burke situation in my opinion 🤣

Blair and Chuck were the toxic relationship dream 😍🤣

But let’s not forget the real star of the show - Dorota ❤️

Merryoldgoat · 05/07/2023 20:33

@LittleBumblebee3 OMG I’d forgotten about that trio of madness 🤣🤣

@Merryoldgoat Im glad you managed to forget it 🤣 I’m still traumatised all these years later 🙈

It was all about Blair and Chuck really in my opinion. Dan was a wet lettuce.

I'm going to have to rewatch it now!

Absolutely. Can't stand Dan.

Hated Vanessa. And Dan's sister, whatever her name was. And Serena's fake cousin.

I agree. I loved Chuck and Blair together. They were my favourite characters.

BallantyneValentine · 05/07/2023 18:10

Did Chuck not attempt to rape someone at one stage? How did he come back from that, I can’t remember.

Serena at a party. It was the introduction to the character.

Moredramathanrazzamatazz · 05/07/2023 20:50

I liked Dan. And Serena somewhat. Most of them were awful. Loved the show though and plan to rewatch some time soon.

Serena and Jenny in the very first episode.

I came here to say I’m still cringing from the Dan/Vanessa/Olivia three way. I’m glad I’m not alone.

Loved Blair and Dorota xoxo

MaggieBsBoat · 05/07/2023 20:57

arghhhhh I miss it!!
now I have to rewatch it.
chuck and Blair for the win.

there’s a remake????

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 06/07/2023 07:07

Merryoldgoat · 05/07/2023 18:34

YAY!

You are all brilliant. I’m just binging it again and I love it.

I also hated Vanessa and Jenny.

God yes, both incredibly annoying. And also Ivy.

Loved Liz Hurley though, she seemed to have a laugh playing in it.

Ooh didn't Madchen Amick (Twin Peaks) pop up for a bit too? She still looks incredible. Young Nate did ok with the laydeez Grin

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 06/07/2023 07:08

Although Georgina was funny though especially after her spell at Bible Camp Grin

Dorota rocked

blueraininlondon · 06/07/2023 07:11

My favourite series ever! I used to watch it all the time, but they took it off Netflix 😩
I didn't realise it was on iplayer- I'm off to watch if now 🙈

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 06/07/2023 07:17

It’s coming back on to Netflix along with The Vampire Diaries. I’ve been watching the latter on Prime just to confirm my answer to the eternal question Team Stefan or Team Damon?

Loved Gossip Girl. Can’t believe ‘Serena’ is now married to Ryan Reynolds with four kids 😂

motherofawhirlwind · 06/07/2023 07:29

I still love Nate and Jenny....

And Dorota rocked.

Dorota was the best!

mondaytosunday · 06/07/2023 15:51

Blair and Chuck - best couple.
Sorry can't even look at Dan now with seeing his 'You' character!

Pollyannalola · 06/07/2023 16:18

I thought Dan was annoying but gorgeous 😍

Georgia Sparks shows up in the new GG, as does Blairs mother Eleanor

Also for anyone who has watched the new one, how oddly like Blair with blonde hair did the character Audrey look?!

Merryoldgoat · 06/07/2023 16:24

@Pollyannalola

Should I give them new one a go?
