Leighton squee!

According 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.

quite honestly i'd rather not have Georgina around full time, i tend to get too involved in shows and i dont like how she's tearing Serena down so horribly-

Word. I'm loving Georgina right now, but she's too extreme (even for the UES) to have around all the time. Everyone would be in constant crisis with her crazy schemes. I'd much rather she return once a season (or every other season) to stir up shit and then go away again.

And after what she's pulled I don't see how they can integrate her into the lives of our main cast. I mean, even with everything that's happened between Blair and Jenny I can see potential for future friendship there. But any of them ... with Georgina ... does not compute.

i dont know if i could handle fulltime Georgie

Me too. I think it would kill my love for the character. Just like how full time Spike made me with that in would DIAF!
