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.

Date: 2008-05-07 11:00 pm (UTC)yeah, i dunno about georgina being full time, simply because she can't be the one stirring the pot *all* the time. however, since trachtenberg grew out of awkward phase and is a totally smokin' crazy bitch from the ues now, i can't complain about the news.

Date: 2008-05-08 12:22 am (UTC)I guess they needed someone to fill the villainous void after the woobification of Chuck. And why is it that when Chuck puts the moves on Serena, I find it creepy. Yet when Georgina slips her a roofie, I think it's all kinds of hot?
Apparently, this show sends my moral compass into a tailspin.

Date: 2008-05-08 01:37 am (UTC)Oh, I know! Michelle has made Georgina unsettlingly sexy. I think it's the single-minded determination with which she's pursing Serena, combined with that way that she just stares at her unblinkingly, let she's seconds away from just pouncing on her.
With the roofie scene, I was all "UH! How could you?" but a second later I was hoping we'd get to see them make out.
This pairing makes me a horrible person (but I love the way being horrible feels!)

It's so true. All of my favorite characters are people that would make me run screaming for the hills if I met them in real life. Blair is awesome but also frightening. Chuck is smarmy as hell, and yet ridiculously sexy. Georgina is probably actually sociopathic, but I want her to do me.
*sigh*
Oh, Gossip Girl what have you done to me?

Date: 2008-05-08 02:03 am (UTC)Only one of the things that makes Leighton so hot. Seriously, Leighton fucking Meester.
i wonder what kind of dirty names she gives blake?
*brain iz ded*

Oh, I know. For purely self-ish reasons I don't want to lose the hotness (even though I can't figure out how'd they'd work in the character full time)

Date: 2008-05-08 02:13 am (UTC)Yeah, great minds think alike. I thought the exact same thing when I heard about it. I mean, sociopath!Georgina is ok, even great for the current plot and all...but full time?? I really doubt it.
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.

Date: 2008-05-08 02:40 am (UTC)Heh, or at least flashback to that time they did make out. You know, that time when Serena was so drunk she called out Blair's name by accident!
Oh, Gossip Girl what have you done to me?
Yea, they're gonna need something bigger than a hand basket when it's time to send us all to Hell!

Date: 2008-05-08 02:52 am (UTC)You know what, no matter what is actually aired, this is already the truth as far as I'm concerned, and no one will be able to convince me otherwise. I don't even mean that I'm gonna be an ass and just pretend for fun, I'm actually already genuinely convinced that this has happened.
Also, we need that flashback. I think Michelle alluded to kissing Blake or something in an interview and I'm hoping that she wasn't just being cute and joking.

They've probably got a few handbaskets lined up for me. I'm pretending right now that van der Sparks is the worse pairing I've gotten behind, but I write blackcest *hangs head*
Special hell sounds like it'll be tons of fun though, and really pervy.

worse pairing I've gotten behind,
Let me know when you start shipping Barbara Kingsolver/Amy Tan. Yeah. Be glad you're not as nuts as some of us.
I really hope they keep GeorGINA. I just love seeing everyone get fucked with.
i wonder what kind of dirty names she gives blake?
I'm going with either Hydrant or ye olde Sugartits.

Date: 2008-05-08 08:36 am (UTC)so i <3 Michelle T just cuase i'm loyal to the buffy cast and cause she's hot as all hell in bitchy mode but---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-
and youre totally right, theyd BETTER NOT try to redeem her, just....NO
i mean, i totally love her for this arc, and she's great at the moment in time, makes everything really intense but, i dont know if i could handle fulltime Georgie

Date: 2008-05-08 11:31 am (UTC)Do it! Do it! (Georgina is so obviously sexually obsessed with her, and Serena was such a drunken whore that I doubt anyone would even question the entry!)

lol! I guess we all have skeletons in our closets ;)

I'm loving GeorGINA, I just wonder if they'll have to change what I love the most about her (aka her sociopathy) in order to fit her into the show on a constant basis.
There's a part of me that wishes she'd just be a recurring villain instead of a regular. Kind of like how I loved Spike, and then ended up hating him after he was mad a series regular, and then loathing him when he went over to Angel.
Hydrant
*stares* *stares* *giggles madly*
ye olde Sugartits
The 'ye olde' makes it so classy :D

Date: 2008-05-08 11:35 am (UTC)They could be keeping it under wraps for shock value (I hope, I hope, I hope!), but I know the CW isn't exactly subtle (OMFG, indeed guys).
All, I know is I'll be so pissed if they punk out on this, like they punked out on the Blair/Serena kiss rumors.
no subject
Date: 2008-05-08 11:38 am (UTC)So true. She'd be too dominant a presence if they keep her the same. 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)
she enjoys making bad things just because and that's scary.
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)

Date: 2008-05-08 11:46 am (UTC)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!
