A writer on Gossip Girl has revealed which character was originally supposed to be the person behind the “Gossip Girl” blog.
Now, however, Joshua Safran – an original writer on the series – has revealed it was a different character who was originally intended to be Gossip Girl.
He went on to explain that it was Nate (portrayed by Chace Crawford) who was originally intended to be Gossip Girl.
With Dan as Gossip Girl, however, Safran said that Badgley’s outsider character was a credible option because “he wanted to find a way in [to the ‘cool’ crowd]”.
