Portrait of a Lady Alexander Producer’s Preview

Executive Producer Sara Goodman and Co-Producer Matt Whitney discuss the upcoming drama from Monday’s all new episode of Gossip Girl at 9/8c

DEAD ENDS — Chuck’s (Ed Westwick) continued investigation into his father’s dealings leads him to an unlikely event with Manhattan’s elite, where he hopes to find the one person who can tell him the truth about Bart (guest star Robert John Burke).  Serena (Blake Lively) and Steven (guest star Barry Watson) decide to reveal their romantic histories so they aren’t surprised by anything, but neither was prepared for what they uncovered.  With The Spectator in jeopardy after Dan (Penn Badgley) decided to publish elsewhere, Nate (Chace Crawford) must make a difficult decision to keep it in business. Meanwhile, Georgina (guest star Michelle Trachtenberg) pushes Dan to choose a worthy person to date to boost his image, but he finds himself drawn in a different direction. Leighton Meester, Kelly Rutherford, Matthew Settle and Kaylee DeFer also star. Sofia Black-D’Elia guest stars. Matt Whitney directed the episode written by Andy Wolk (#604).

June 22, 2011: So we got introduced to two new writers today, Natalie and Matt.

Also joining the staff is Natalie Krinsky, bringing some Blair Waldorf sparkle to the room every day — you should see her shoes! #

Oh, and Matt brings sparkle too. But it’s more of a Dan Humphrey variety. #

Q: How many writers are there?? :| Is the Upper East big enough for all of you? Does each writer pen an entire episode? xoxo
A: Yes, each writer pens (at least) an entire episode. And yes, the staff is bigger than last year, but the same size as S2! 

Q: Is this the same Natalie? http://www.amazon.com/CHLOE-DOES-YALE-Natalie-Krinsky/dp/B00127QCO8/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1
A: Why yes, it is! 

Q: Welcome Natalie! Can we get a picture of her shoes?
A: We will try to do so momentarily. You should have seen Sara’s Chanel shoes yesterday, too — OMG. 

Still no shoe pics though.
