Michelle Trachtenberg: Not Joining Gossip Girl Cast
We pretty much knew this already, but in case it wasn't confirmed 100 percent before, it now is, thanks to TV Guide. Michelle Trachtenberg has not been promoted to a series regular on Gossip Girl. She will, however, be guest starring this season.
The Season 2 finale indicated that Georgina would be enrolling at NYU with the gang.
But Trachtenberg's fall run on Gossip Girl be brief, as the actress' other show, the NBC nursing drama Mercy, has just been moved up from midseason to fall.
With Mercy rushed into production, Michelle Trachtenberg will be preoccupied.
However, don't be surprised to see her making periodic vistis to the Upper East Side throughout the life of the series! Hey, a little G is better than nothing, right?

Blair: Just because we can't be together doesn't mean I don't love you.

Am I the only one who hates Georgina ? I mean, I love Michelle, and of course some things Georgina says are just diva. But the things she does - I'm glad she won't be regular in the show. I don't want to see her hurting Blair or Serena or anyone like that.

I don't mind that Georgina's not a main character. But I do want to see her in guest appearances. She's the most interesting person on the show.

First!
It's fine that she's not joining as a regular on GG. I don't want to see a nice G. G is a pepper: shake strong to have the little bit that makes the difference xoxo
