Leighton squee!
May. 7th, 2008 06:34 pmAccording to Leighton, the cast calls Michelle Trachtenberg's character "Geor-gina" (in the way that rhymes with a female body part), since the character such a See You Next Tuesday. (SOURCE)
My reaction = OMG, I luv u Leighton!
(And yes, I'm going to give full credit for this nickname to Leighton, because ... really, we all know she's the one that came up with it)
It also appears that Michelle has been upgraded to a full cast member for Season 2.
I'm kind of loving Georgina in all of her 'bitch-craaaaazy' glory but I must admit I'm not sure how she'll fit in full time.
I'll be interested to see how this arc ends now (since Georgie will be in Manhattan instead of Juvie or Murder Rehab).
They just better not try to redeem her and make her secretly lovable. Because the show already has a Blair Waldorf (and a fake-ass Blair Waldorf as well *glares at Little J*) and she's perfection, so we don't need a weak-ass copy of her.

What I love about the show it's that no one is black and white. Badass boy can have a heart (Chuck) and Queen bitch can be cute and lovely and adorable (Blair) but Georgina is like totally crazy! she enjoys making bad things just because and that's scary.
Also, to tell the true and like a personal note, I don't like MT that much to see her stay on the show. But like I said, that's just me.

And if they change her they'll take away what I love the most about her (her bitch-crazy-osity) and she'll be a watered down less likable Blair (I mean, Leighton owns the bad-girl-with-a-heart-of-gold thing, and making any one even attempt it while she's around is just MEAN)

And that's what currently makes her hot and awesome! I don't need Georgina to have layers. I just need her to come back every once in a while, be hot and crazy and stir up shit (like maybe once a year or something).
I don't like MT that much to see her stay on the show. But like I said, that's just me.
I like MT in this role, much more than I thought I would. And I'm currently enjoying her. But, yeah, I don't need her to stay around all the time. I mean, she hasn't inspired Leighton levels of devotion in me (or anyone I think)
