I’m taking an hour-long break from required readings for a course, and Sex and the City has the shortest episodes so… I started watching a third-season episode, Running with Scissors (3x11). And who did I see six minutes in? The Captain! Approaching Samantha! He’s one GG dad I didn’t remember seeing on SATC. It’s sort of creepy, really. Apart from Dr. Van der Woodsen (EDIT: and Rufus Humphrey, who I completely forgot about), they all made an appearance. Don’t believe me? I have episode numbers!

So…

Blair’s dads:

Harold Waldorf (i.e., John Shea): Dominic, a (the?) guy who broke Samantha’s heart (2x11);

Cyrus Rose (i.e., Wallace Shawn): Martin, a friend of the Russian (6x18)—he had no encounters of sexual kind with anyone on the show, though :), at least as far as I remember;

Roman (i.e., William Abadie): Tony (6x05, the imbd says) but I don’t really remember him;

Chuck’s dad:

Bart Bass (i.e., Robert John Burke): Walker, a lover of Miranda’s (4x13, 5x5);

Nate’s dad:

Howard Archibald (i.e., Sam Robards): Tom, the male version of Samantha :) (3x11).

I guess that’s what you get when you film two shows in NYC for quite a few seasons. :)

Okay, I’ve procrastinated for fifteen minutes, yet it feels like I’ve also done some research. Mission accomplished. xD

What’s that Gossip Girl fans? All you want for Christmas is a super-sized final episode? Done!

TVLine has learned exclusively that The CW is planning to send Serena, Blair & Co. off with a two-hour series finale event on Monday, Dec. 17.

The night will kick off with a look back at the show’s six-year run (featuring clips and interviews with the cast and producers), followed immediately by the final episode, which TVLine can exclusively reveal is titled, “New York, I Love You XOXOX.”

In addition, viewers will be treated to an exclusive sneak peek at the CW’s upcoming Sex and the City prequel soap, The Carrie Diaries.

XOXO, ERIC DAMAN‘GOSSIP GIRL’ COSTUME DESIGNER ON HEADBANDS, BLAKE LIVELY AND THE END OF THE SERIES

No matter who sleeps with whom on the sixth and final season of “Gossip Girl,” fans of the series will be happy about one development. 
“We’re bringing back the headbands,” costume designer Eric Daman told The Daily. “It’s almost as if they have some sort of supernatural power.” 
The show’s fashion godfather, an alum of  “Sex and the City,” said the last season, which premieres Monday, will be like “Gossip Girl 2.0.”
“We’ll be bringing back little elements of who we fell in love with in season one,” he teased.
Bidding farewell to the Upper East Side is “bittersweet,” Daman said, especially after bonding with Blake Lively, whom he helped make into a front-row designer darling.
“When I first met her, she wasn’t aware of designers. She was kind of like Cinderella, starry-eyed in front of all of the shoes,” he reminisced. “She’s done a great job growing into herself. I’m proud to help her.”
Next up for Daman is costumes for the CW’s “Sex and the City” prequel, “The Carrie Diaries,” debuting in January.
“We’ve been to Forever 21 and H&M and Urban Outfitters and Top Shop,” he said. “[The Carrie Bradshaw character]’s not going to be a tricked-out fashionista — yet.”
NATE (Chace Crawford)Once a messy schoolboy and now a digital newspaper editor, Nate “is really into great Rag & Bone suits,” Daman said. “We bought back the blue palette for him. It always makes Chace’s eyes look amazing.”
BLAIR (Leighton Meester)“Remember when Blair was this majestic schoolgirl reigning on The Met steps?” Daman said. This time her headbands will be “mature” (no bows!) and she’ll rock Prada prints. “There will be a grown-up feel.”
SERENA (Blake Lively) Bad girl Serena is “going back to the short skirts that remind me of her little schoolgirl kilt,” Daman spilled. Expect her in a yellow Jenny Packham gown on Monday’s premiere: “Blake fell in love.”
DAN (Penn Badgley)“He was that hipster doofus that made you say, ‘Is that ironic or is he really wearing that?’” Daman said of Dan, now a prolific writer sporting cashmere v-necks for an “intellectual, French film-noir feel.”
CHUCK (Ed Westwick)“People are obsessed with Chuck,” Daman said. So he’s giving the people what they want: bow ties, plaid and “brutish, Wall Street” suits. “All of his outfits are tailored especially for him,” Daman said.
