The series begins with the return of Upper East Side "it girl", Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) from a mysterious stay at a boarding school in Cornwall, Connecticut.[1] Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), whom creators describe as the queen at the center of their chess game, is a longtime friend and occasional rival of Serena's, and the queen bee of Constance Billard School's social scene. The story also follows Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick), the bad boy of the Upper East Side; "golden boy" Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford), Chuck's best friend and Blair's boyfriend for many years. However, their relationship had been rocky ever since Serena left for boarding school. Other characters of the turbulent Manhattan scene: Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley), Dan's best friend Vanessa Abrams (Jessica Szohr), Dan's sister, Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen), and con artist Ivy Dickens (Kaylee DeFer).

Season 1: 2007–08
Main article: Gossip Girl (season 1)
The first season's main focus is Serena's sudden return to the Upper East Side following her mysterious disappearance. Initially, Serena's one night-stand with Nate Archibald, boyfriend to Serena's best friend Blair Waldorf, was thought to be Serena's reason to leave. However, near the end of the season, the cunning Georgina Sparks, Serena's former friend, arrives on the Upper East Side, revealing that the night Serena slept with Nate didn't end there – Serena went to meet Georgina at the Stanhope Hotel and a man died in her presence under the influence of drugs, while being taped. The season also revolves around Serena's relationship with outsider Dan Humphrey; Blair's relationship with Nate and her affair with his best friend Chuck; brief romance between Serena's mother and Dan's father; Blair and Jenny's mentor-protege relationship; and the arrival of Dan's former best friend Vanessa Abrams. The season ends with the revelation of Serena's secret, causing the break up of Dan and Serena, and Chuck leaving Blair at the airport while she finds a new fun summer fling, before leaving for Europe. The pilot episode of the show follows the first book in the Gossip Girl series, but after that the show starts to separate itself from the books with different story lines.

Season 2: 2008–09
Main article: Gossip Girl (season 2)
The second season mainly explores the senior year of the characters with the premiere at the Hamptons and primarily focused on the relationship between Blair and Chuck, who were labeled "the heart of GG" by People magazine. At first, both characters negate their feelings for one another, and go through random schemes and manipulations.
The first half of the season deals with Serena's growing prominence as a socialite which draws the attention of Blair as their friendship is tested when the character of Poppy Lifton (Tamara Feldman) arrives, a socialite who inadvertently drives a wedge between Serena and Blair after inspiring Serena to take her place in the spotlight during the early episodes of the season.Nate faces the aftermath of his father's criminal past and pursues a relationship with Vanessa, who becomes further entangled into the world of the Upper East Side. Jenny reignites her rebellious nature by pursuing a career as a fashion designer, thereby challenging Rufus' skills as a parent while Dan's friendship with Nate and relationship with Serena slowly transforms him from a social outcast to an insider. The show finished its first half during the first week of December, with the shocking death of Bart Bass.
The second half of the season reveals the impact of Bart's death, causing a significant change of character direction for Chuck that subsequently leads to the growth of Rufus and Lily's relationship, the revelation of the two having a son together, and contributing to the decline of Dan and Serena's relationship. John Shea reprised his role as Harold Waldorf during a Thanksgiving episode and becomes entangled in Blair's striving ambition of attending Yale. Desmond Harrington entered the series as Chuck's manipulative uncle, Jack Bass. Feldman returned to the season with Armie Hammer as Serena's new love interest, Gabriel Edwards. Michelle Trachtenburg returned to the role of Georgina Sparks and filmed her scenes during February, also adjoining her character's return to the second season mystery.
A backdoor pilot for a spin-off premiered in May but was not picked up by The CW to the limited number of spots available on their fall line-up.
As the storylines progressed, the role of "Gossip Girl" is slightly decreased. She continues to run her blog, but she keeps the ultimate information for herself, sending it in the final episode as the last blast, where Serena decides to find out who "Gossip Girl" really is, but ultimately fails. The season finale ended with a well-received kiss between Blair and Chuck.

Season 3: 2009–10
Main article: Gossip Girl (season 3)
The third season focuses on Blair, Dan and Vanessa getting into New York University along with movie star Olivia Burke (Hilary Duff), whom Dan starts dating; Nate getting into Columbia University; Serena taking a year off from school; Jenny becoming Queen Bee at Constance; and Chuck running Bass Industries, along with now adoptive mother Lily van der Woodsen. The first couple of episodes feature part of the summer vacation, respectively the week before the start of University classes and school. The role of "Gossip Girl" is slightly decreased throughout the season.
Many guest stars were cast throughout the season including Joanna García as Bree Buckley, a love interest for Nate; America's Next Top Model creator Tyra Banks as Ursula Nyquist, a larger than life actress whom Serena served as a publicist for a short time; William Baldwin as William van der Woodsen, Serena and Eric’s father, Lily’s ex-husband and Rufus’ long-time rival; and cameos by Lady Gaga, Tory Burch, Jimmy Fallon, Plastiscines, Georgina Chapman and Sonic Youth.
The ninth episode of the season caused a significant amount of controversy. Parent groups urged The CW not to air the episode as it contained a threesome. The preview for the episode revolved around an "OM3" theme. CW ignored these requests and announced that it was going to air the episode as planned.
Robert John Burke, who played Chuck's father, Bart Bass, returned for A Christmas Carol themed episode in December, while Desmond Harrington returned as Chuck's uncle Jack with a major storyline affecting Chuck and Blair's relationship again and involving Chuck's estranged mother Evelyn Bass Fisher (Laura Harring).
The season focused hugely on Jenny Humphrey's development and downward spiral. She spends a good part of the season alienating herself from Eric, her former best friend, and chasing after Nate, who has his heart set on Serena. At the end of the season, due to her one night stand with Chuck Bass, and new drug dealing habit, Jenny's father and Lily send her to Hudson, New York, to live with her mother. Other story lines include: Blair and Chuck's attempt and ultimate failure at having a successful relationship; Dan and Vanessa moving from friends to something more; and Serena's attempts to find herself through a new job and brief love affairs with Carter, Nate's married cousin Tripp, and eventually Nate himself.

I'm definitely gonna miss everyone and everything on GG--especially GG's juicy gossips and of course her ever awesome--life awakening words of wisdom. Here are some of my favorite:
- “Here’s a little tip, Jenny: the faster you rise, the harder you fall. Hope that Hello Kitty sleeping bag doubles as a parachute.”
- “Too bad no one told him: you can’t save a damsel if she loves her distress.”
- “Sometimes you need to step outside, clear your head and remind yourself of who you are. And where you wanna be. And sometimes you have to venture outside your world in order to find yourself.”
- “What’s the difference between gossip and scandal? So glad you asked. Anyone can commit a minor indiscretion and generate a day’s worth of buzz, but in order for gossip to birth a true scandal it requires the right person to be in the wrong place. Take one ‘it’ girl on a pedestal, add a crowd eager to see her fall, and give them the means to knock her down.”
- “As any good general knows, you never let your soldiers see you sweat. Looks like this battle’s ending at Butter, and the win goes to B. Victory is sweet.”
- “Don’t look so sad little J! The sun will come out tomorrow, even though your boyfriend did today.”
- “But the worst thing the truth can do? Is when you finally tell it, it doesn’t set you free… but locks you away, forever.”
Season 2
- “As summer comes to an end, I’d like to share a few things I’ve learned about fun in the sun. Gossip Girl’s guide to summer fun tip #1: Don’t fall asleep on the job. The best hookups are free of morning breath and awkward conversation. The only thing better than making up … is waking up.”
- “Summer Tip #2. There is no ‘we’ in summer. Only u and me.”
- “Summer Tip #3. Take time to stop and smell the flowers. It’s true that all good things must come to an end. August is no exception. They don’t call it Fall for nothing.”
- “If you can’t stand the heat … there’s always a cold shower.”
- “One bad thing about making a deal with the devil is, he always comes to collect.”
- “The past is always with us, just waiting to mess with the present.”
- “One thing about being on the top of the world.. it gives you a long, long way to fall.”
- “The thing about new beginnings is that they require something else to end.”
- “Sticks and stones may break bones, but a poison pen is the best revenge.”
- “They say every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and once something is set on motion, it can’t help up to build a momentum.”
- “In life, as in art, some endings are bittersweet. Especially when it comes to love. Sometimes fate throws two lovers together only to rip them apart. Sometimes the hero finally makes the right choice but the timing is all wrong. And, as they say, timing is everything.”
- “Forget a grand entrance. Everyone knows that it’s the exit they’ll remember.”
- “Life isn’t a fairy tale, and happy endings are few and far between.”
- “On the Upper East Side, the rules of battle are simple: there are no rules.”
- “Sometimes, despite the risk, the most important thing is to seize the moment. Or whatever else you can grab.”
- “We make our own fortunes, and call them fate. And what better excuse to choose a path than to insist it’s our destiny? But at the end of the day, we all have to live with our choices … no matter who’s looking over our shoulder.”
- “They say there are no accidents. Sometimes reality comes crashing into us. Other times it dawns on us slowly, despite our best efforts to ignore it.”
- “As a famed literary critic once told Oprah, memory is subjective. It can be embellished or denied. But as James Fray knows all too well, the truth always comes out.Sometimes it’s hard to see the lines we’ve drawn until we’ve crossed them. That’s when we rely on the ones we love to pull us back and give us something to hold onto. Then there are the clearly marked lines. The ones that if you dare cross, you may never find your way back.”
- “In Manhattan, some parties are VIP only. Others are strictly private. But some parties are political, and those lines are drawn by the most established of the establishment. And once those lines are drawn, they can never be crossed.”
- But our most dangerous enemies are the ones we never knew we had.”
- “We may surprise ourselves as we face our future. Or be surprised when we’re cleaning up the past.”
- “A wise woman once said that every morning when you wake up you say a little prayer. After all, you never know what your day may hold.”
- “They say the universe has a great sense of humor. That sometimes having your dreams come true can feel like a nightmare. Because getting what you want always come with strings attached.”
- “And even when you think you’re finally in the clear, you’re never home free.”
- “When you do finally get what you want, the problem is there’s always someone that’s trying to take it away. And all that wanting makes us blind to the fact that things aren’t exactly what we think they are. Maybe it’s better sometimes to just get what you need.”
- “As with any journey, who you travel with can be more important than your destination.”
- “You never know who you’ll encounter along the way. Who knows, maybe fairy tales come true after all.”
- “You can never really know someone until you walk a mile in their shoes. At first it might not seem like the most natural fit, but walk around in those shoes long enough and you’ll discover you might like it. Just don’t get too comfortable, kids, because you never know when the other shoe is going to drop.”
- “They say love is the best medicine… unless you don’t take it.”
- “Everything you ever wanted seems possible. Until you realize, the nightmare’s just beginning.”
- Sticks and stones may just break bones, but the wounds from words never heal. Especially when they’re words we hoped we’d never read.”
- “Often all it takes to find a new path is to make a sharp turn and see what you find. But beware. Sometimes what you’re faced with is a dead end.”
- “The thing about expectations is most of the time, someone else sets them for you. Yet you feel like they’ve been there all along. And you can’t wait to live up to them. But just because you know what’s expected of you doesn’t mean you still can’t surprise everyone.”
- “You often find, what you least expect is right in front of you. Waiting to change everything forever. Whether you want to or not.”
- “They say blood is thicker than water. But it’s also a lot harder to clean up when it spills.”
- “They say the only way to conquer your fear is face what you fear the most. You must walk into the belly of the beast. And risk the possibility of failure. But try to hide from your fear, and you risk it swallowing you whole.”
- “Face your fears and the rewards can be profound. You can discover the true depth of a relationship. Or what you’re capable of withstanding. The problem is, the more you gain, the more you stand to lose.”
- “That’s the thing about writing what you know. Soon everybody else knows it too.”
- “They say the road of life is long and winding. So it’s important to mark the milestones along the way.”
- “They say every road comes to an end, but sometimes the end feels just like the beginning. Even when you think you’ve come a long way, you can suddenly find yourself right back where you started. Because every journey is fraught with twists and turns.”
- “And some masks we wear because we hope to stay hidden. But that’s the problem with wearing masks. They can be ripped off at any moment.”
- “If you ever find yourself sick with Saturday Night Fever, the last thing you want is someone to turn up the heat.”
- “If you’re going to play with matches make sure you don’t leave them around to spark the flame anew. Disco isn’t actually dead. And neither am I.”
- “But at the end of the day, our fate is decided for us. All we can do is hope we have the strength to cope with the hand she deals us.”
- “Camus said that life is the sum of our choices. Choose wisely and fortune smiles upon you. But choose poorly? You never know what price you’ll have to pay.”
Though I feel bad today's gonna be the last episode-- I am also excited to watch the finale--I'd been waiting to death to know if who Goosip girl really is. And also I am delighted for DERENA and CHAIR's love story--and how they would end. I can't wait to go home and watch it online--I'd been very careful not to read any spoiler since I want to see it myself. Oh, well--So long Gossip Girl! It's been a great show--hats off y'all!
