The 32-year-old will make his acting debut in the episode, "The Return of The Ring" (for much more on the big episode, follow the link for our Gossip Girl season finale spoilers article and discussion).


In the season premiere, Summer Kind of Wonderful, it's revealed that Chuck never made it to Europe and left Blair hanging all summer. He instead went to the Hamptons with Serena, Eric, and CeCe Rhodes, sleeping with a different girl every night to get over Blair. When she returns, she brings along her new boyfriend Marcus Beaton, much to Chuck's dismay. He becomes suspicious of Marcus, especially after hearing him say things about his life that doesn't match with what he told Blair. During the annual Vitamin Water White Party, Marcus reveals to Blair that he is a British Lord that lied about his identity to make sure she wasn't using him. At the end of the party, Chuck approaches Blair while she is waiting for Marcus and asks her not to leave with him. She asks him to admit he loves her and she'll leave Marcus to be with him, but he is unable to do so. Hurt, Blair leaves with Marcus.


For the first time in recent memory, this week's milestone episode of "Gossip Girl" finally recaptured the confident plotting and razor sharp shocks of its first two seasons. "G.G." honored the 99 episodes that preceded it while setting the board for some intriguing new plot moves. Not only did we finally learn the true identity of our titular gossip-monger, but Blair and Louis' ill-conceived wedding played out in the most realistic way possible, leading to moments that should satisfy both the vocal Chair and Dair factions.


5. Nate Needs A DateIf Archibald had put his mind -- and his Rolodex -- to it, I'm certain he could've found a perfectly suitable date to Blair's wedding, but his new-found introspection seems to further emphasize the writers' desire to give him an actual storyline this season. On a meta level, the reason why he's been lacking in love all these years is simply because the writers have been content to shove him with such duds, but his ex-girlfriend's wedding was certainly an appropriate occasion to make him question his life choices. I'm not sure that stalking a waitress (who just so happens to be the real Charlie Rhodes, gasp!) was the best way to pursue a meaningful relationship; their affair was a touchstone of the first season, and after 100 episodes, I think it would be fitting to see things come full circle and for their bond to be explored in more depth. Sadly, she still seems too fixated on Dan for that to be a viable option, but trying to get any of these characters to date outside their incestuous social circle is always going to be doomed to failure, because we're not invested in any of the peripheral temps that are rolled in. 2ff7e9595c
