Here's an interview that E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos did with the executive producer of Gossip Girl, Josh Safran. In the interview, Safran talks about the future of Blair and Serena's friendship and the various romantic pairings on the show. He also gives some scoop on the season finale, and discusses the possibility of a shortened sixth and final season. Here's an excerpt from the interview, which gives some scoop on Dan and Blair's relationship, Blair's love life in general, the possibility of Serena and Nate getting back together and the possibility of a sixth season.
What's ahead for Dan and Blair? Will they be happy for a while?
For us it's been about, we knew we were going to tell the story that Blair has always wanted to be a princess, way back in season one, ever since she was a child, she's wanted to be a princess. So now that that lifelong dream is gone, she's able to step back and go, "Wow, that dream is over so what's my next dream, who am I going to be next?" It's really allowing her to come into her own and grow in a great way, with Dan by her side, is someone who has always accepted that growth in her. Her relationship with Chuck has always been fraught with a little bit of antagonism, it's been sexy and also they tried to be there for each other but then things get in the way. And here she finally has a guy who is like, you go off and do what you need to do and I'll be here. It's fun to see when she comes back into her own. We have a storyline that's coming up, that's one of my favorite storylines ever in all five seasons for Blair. And I think the fans are really going to love. It's pure vintage Blair.
Do you know the endgame for Blair and the others romantically?
Right now we're only looking at endgame for this season because that's how we are approaching it. I don't want to say there is an answer because right now there isn't actually a question. Blair is with Dan and that's what it is. But it's more about what happens when, Dan and Blair's relationship is going to be challenged because the specter of Chuck is always going to be hanging over it, whether or not he's even involved in it or not. Because Blair is always going to be aware that Dan knows how much she loved a man before him. And Dan is always going to be aware, even more so, of how tied up they were with each other and how they constantly return to each other at some point, invariably every year. That pressure might seep in and cause some trouble but whether that trouble is insurmountable people will have to wait and see.
Any hope for Serena and Nate to reunite at some time?
Because the group gets together, as I said before, there are definitely scenes of them together. Those scenes are not romantic at this time, but I wouldn't rule anything out.
Will we see Louis again?
You are not going to see Louis this year.
There are reports there will be a shortened sixth season…
Those reports are just reports, we have nothing to do with them. We are very much planning a sixth season, we are not ending this season with a series finale, by any stretch. It's amongst our biggest cliffhangers we've ever done.
