Batten down the hatches, Upper East Siders - Hurricane Georgina is blowing back into town, according to Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly.

Sources confirm that Michelle Trachtenberg will be reprising her role as Serena van der Woodsen's (Blake Lively) nemesis Georgina Sparks on Gossip Girl - and for multiple episodes. She first appeared toward the end of Season One.

A Gossip Girl rep declined to comment on the record, but an inside source says Georgina, who was last seen being carted off to rehab, will reappear toward the end of the current Season Two. Wonder in what capacity?

Creator and executive producer Josh Schwartz had hinted at Georgina's return in a past interview, but we're glad it's coming to fruition. The more drama, the merrier!

In related news, have you heard the rumor that Georgina will turn out to be Lily and Rufus' MIA love child? Crazy, right? Well, it's even crazier when you consider the fact that said love child is (spoiler alert!) ******** * **.
