Image Credit: Duffy-Marie Arnoult/WireImage.com Look out, Blair: Ex-Melrose Place vamp Katie Cassidy is relocating to Manhattan.
Sources confirm to me exclusively that Cassidy — who was arguably the best thing about last season’s ill-fated Melrose reboot — is staying in the CW fold with a multi-episode arc on Gossip Girl.
She’ll play a student at Columbia and a love interest for fellow undergrad Nate (Chace Crawford).
This next bit probably goes without saying, but a Gossip source tells me that Cassidy’s character “will make trouble” for several Upper East Siders, adding, “She is not what she appears.”
Cassidy will first air in the season 4 premiere.
Coincidentally, Cassidy is currently in Paris shooting the teen adventure comedy Monte Carlo alongside fellow Gossip girl Leighton Meester (Blair).
Thoughts? Does Cassidy’s casting warrant an enthusiastic “Yes!” or an apathetic “Meh?” (Hint: The correct answer is “Yes!”)
Pfffft. She’s no Georgina
And thank God for that. Georgina is a horrible character played by an even more horrible actress.
It sucks because I was ready to quit watching GG because it just lacks the quality it had in the first season. But damn…may have to stick around to see Katie Cassidy for a bit. Why do they always do this with Nate each season? It’s like they have no idea what to do with him so they bring on a newbie for the first few episodes each season before throwing him back at Serena, Blair or Jenny.
lol, I agree Tara. Nate is so boring that they have to introduce a new girlfriend for him each season to maintain audience interest. What’s most annoying is that these girlfriends, “MILF lady” and “Family enemy chick”, have almost no relevance to the rest of the season and leave without a trace after a couple of episodes with no effect.
I’m done with this show. It’s lost that spark it had in the first two seasons. Oh well.
My girlfriend and I argue about Nate every time we watch Gossip Girl together. I stand by my argument that Nate ARchibald is just vanilla. He’s so bland and common that he’s not even worth any screen time.
It has been 1 years alrealdy since i retired from the military. I’m 36 ,rich but
still single.It’s hard to get a girlfriend in my town ,most of them like my money
more than like me.Ijust want to find my true love.so i uploaded my hot photos on
10yeargap . c om under the name of sammy36.It’s the best club for seeking
young or old hot guys .if you girls see this comment,i hope you will check my photos out there.maybe you are the one who i’m looking for!!!
Georgina haters to the LEFT! Georgina ALWAYS manages to shake things up whenever she returns. I love her!
And I’m praying that she interacts with Katie this season since they both starred in Black Xmas together!
Easy there Will. You’re trying too hard to fit in.
Seriously. Georgina was only good the first season. She should of never came back.
Should “have”, NOT should “of”.
Disgraceful.
“come” not “came”
WHAT!! GEorgina is the best arch nemisis to Blair. I know Katie Cassidy can deliver but I think Michelle Trachtenberg is good. Hello lets not forget she was making deals with the devil even before Gossip Girl.
Yes, deals with the devil are to be avoided.
Thank you for the sane comment.
i love georgie! i am excited about this casting though. i didn’t watch the horrible mp reboot but heard nothing but good things about cassidy so i am looking forward to her on gg.
Katie Cassidy is too good for GG. Used to loooove the show but s3 I watched on and off. I wish she was joining VD like it was rumored. Well, I wish MP hadn’t been axed.
After reading your aitrcle I was instantly reminded of When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal. Napoleon Hill
Ahhh I am very excited! I love Katie Cassidy and yes, she was the best thing about Melrose Place and she was also in Harper’s Island!!
I actually really like Harper’s Island. I wish it had caught on.
It was only intended to be a mini-series. I think it served it’s purpose. People still talk about it so it couldn’t have been that unnoticed.
I was bored with Harper’s Island’s slow pace and silly writing at times, but I thought the general concept rocked. I wish they would air a ~10-episode murder mystery mini-series every summer.
Me too. There was a possibility of a s2 with a new cast, Kylie.
YES! I love her! she’s such much better suited for Nate than Vanessa
I like her
So… Yes!
Simple and honest. And a good name. “Iriel”. Very cool.
It is always good to see a fella from the Ozarks on the boob tube. Way to go Mr. Wise. Be cfreaul however, once you get that video vibe in you, you will be walking down the path to becoming a sellout much like George Foreman.CB
Katie is amazing! She is gonna be awesome on GG!
I don’t toy with this one, because she seems like an honest and enthusiastic 13 years expressing an opinion.
The rest of you in this Gossip Girl thread may or may not get off so lucky depending on the validity of your input.
Am I the only one who loved MP last season? Yes Ashlee was terrible but I loved the show.
Ooh, I have loved her since she was original Ruby on Supernatural. I think she’ll be a lot of fun. Her character and Nate will be a beautiful couple.
Oh absolutely. Katie was easily the better Ruby and one of the greatest villains ever on the show, which is saying something. I quit watching GG awhile ago but I will have to check it out again just because i love her so much.

Bravo, Dawn Ostroff. Bravo. Maybe you can breathe some life back into Gossip Girl after all.
True! And after her arc on GG is over, get her her own CW show, Dawn.
No, Jenny. We do not say “Bravo” unless it with an ironic tone.
HAHAHA Scooptress. Dawn has effed up the network SO much.
