'Gossip Girl' Reboot: Three ways Blake Lively can be brought back to the show
As soon as it came to light that a 'Gossip Girl' reboot was in the works many fans just had one question - will Blake Lively who played the stunning Serena van der Woodsen be a part of it? The showrunners clarified that no special appearances by the main members of the original cast have been planned, at least in the first season of the reboot, to give the new cast a chance to shine on their own. Joshua Safran, the showrunner on the 'Gossip Girl' reboot, who was also a part of the original says that while some of the smaller characters may make cameos, don't expect the bigger stars to pop in just yet. He says, "We made a decision early on and I was nervous about this decision, but definitely came to believe it was right-that the audience would never accept these characters if they were in the shadow of the original characters. There isn't enough screen time. If Blair showed up for two scenes, you'd say, 'I want more Blair'.
Well, we can't argue with wanting more Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) or for that matter Serena (Blake Lively). But while the odds seem slim to nil that we will see them on the first season of the 'Gossip Girl' reboot it seems that there could be some hope for Season 2 if there is one. Safran also said, "The decision was, 'Let's get season 1 under our belt, and should we get season 2, we'll have the chance to bring in cameos that are more than glorified cameos but actually give them storylines." Since the showrunners are already thinking in that direction, we thought we'd help them out by sharing some ways we'd like to see Blake Lively back in action as Serena on the show. Here are three ways we could see Blake Lively back on the show.
