Here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for ... or judging by your feedback, the moment you can take or leave or don't know what to make of just yet.

In any case, get ready for Hilary Duff in the October 5 Gossip Girl episode.

This promotional photo of Hilary Duff's character, Olivia Burke, is from the episode "Dan de Fleurette" (by our calculations the fourth of Season Three) ...

As many of us know, Hilary Duff's character is assigned to be Vanessa Abrams' roommate at NYU. You can see their dorm room in the photo above.

Through Vanessa, Olivia gets to know Dan Humphrey.

She becomes attracted to Dan, and vica versa.

The twist? Dan is so out of touch with popular culture that he doesn't realize the girl he likes is a big movie star from Twilight-esque vampire films.

Pretty typical of Dan, actually.

What do you think? Are you excited for Olivia and Dan? Is Hilary too big a star to appear on the show and be taken seriously?
