Gossip Girl, The Prequel

who's excited about the gossip girl "prequel" / spinoff? i am, i am! 

so the show, tentatively called lily, is still in the early stages of development and above are some of the potential cast members in talks with the cw. the show will follow the young life of Lily van der Woodsen, waaaay before she became the Lily Bass we've come to know and love today - widow to Bart Bass, mom to serena, erik and a mystery love child with rufus, plus not to mention guardian to chuck bass which should warrant her mother of the year accolades for such a daunting task. the show may even take place before her heydays with rufus, since there's hasn't been any speculation yet on who would play the younger version of our favorite Papa Humphrey.

what we DO know right now is that all signs point to a yes for actress brittany snow to play the young lily. i think it's an excellent choice. she can do well in a teen dramedy, as we've seen in john tucker must die, which you may remember from a previous post has its own gg-connection via lonely boy's appearance in the flick as the other tucker brother!

if the writers for lily are the same as the ones for gg, well then it already trumps 90210 in my opinion. stay tuned for more info!
