And the gay character on Gossip Girl is...
At the end of March, gossip columnist Michael Ausiello from TV Guide reported that a male character on The CW's Gossip Girl would come out of the closet and that this revelation would significantly impact the lives of the other characters. Since then, fans of the series have been speculating about who could that character be. Fans of the books will recall that Chuck is presumed gay and that Dan questions his sexuality. However, neither are the person Ausiello was referring to (note that there are no plans to have Dan go down that path on the TV series at this point). Want to know who it is?
Spoilers coming up!
E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos revealed the name of said gay character today. I must say that's it is whom I thought it would be mostly because we never saw the character show interest in the other sex. The answer: Eric van der Woodsen.
Kristin adds that Eric will be outed when he is caught making out with Jenny's rich new boyfriend, Asher Hornsby! This revelation will more than likely happen in the May 5 episode titled "All About My Brother" since the official description of the episode says "Dan (Penn Badgley) witnesses Jenny's new boyfriend, Asher (guest star Jesse Swenson), cheating on her, but Jenny refuses to listen to her brother's warning."
Gossip Girl airs Mondays on The CW.
