As Gossip Girl fans know well — although evidently not Ed Westwick — the reveal of Gossip Girl’s identity was much crazier than it would have been if we discovered that Eric was the culprit.
It’s kind of wild to learn that the reason behind Dan becoming Gossip Girl can be traced back to somebody guessing that Eric was the culprit and the producers feeling compelled to change everything.
No, Dan Humphrey was Gossip Girl all along, and viewers had to try and figure out retroactively if it was an awesome twist or a flat-out insane twist.
Even though nearly five years have passed since the finale reveal, the odds are pretty good that fans are still divided.
