Ok people lay of Blair. Dan was the one that started the kiss and no Blair did not stop it but she did not go in there inteding to kiss him. She really was trying to help Dan and Serena get back together. And it's possible for Blair to love Chuck but have feeling for Dan. He has been there for her and she prob pushed this feeling away because of Serena. Also she married Loui for Chuck and hello did you not see Loui be a jerk? She has to stay with him or her mom will lose her bussiness. Chuck and Blair are not ready for each other and Dan gets her. Besides for the whole video thing witch I think she should for give him for. All that being said I am a Chair fan but I'm loving the Dair. Why can't we all just get along and remember this is a tv show. No need to be hateful to each other.

My remark was not directed to study the relationship WB and GG actors in the series. Of course the actors have valid contracts with the study, but in this case, no contract can not cover the fact that the two main characters Blake and Penn in the first 3 seasons were in private relationship related to the beginning of season 4 broke the connection, and that this feel to their performance in the series. I'm not talking about the love scenes, but of ordinary scenes that they only do two completely different compared to the first 3 seasons. Even so, they must give credit to them that they had this season to act out a love scene in episode 11 (the year after the break), and declarations of love by Blake faked in episode 13, because it is very difficult for them because of their past.

Buffy, for example, was a poor decision that the WB made because although they were popular, the WB still canceled them, and UPN picked them up almost immediately capitalizing on WB's mistake, a mistake they acknowledge. They, then, canceled Angel a season later, who by comparison did lower in ratings than Buffy, and another decision that the WB regrets.
If GG was doing that poorly, the network would've moved it to the graveyard slot where Supernatural currently resides. The CW will axe out Nikita, Ringer, and Heart of Dixie before they would even consider canceling GG, especially a show that gives them profit now.

That's actually not true. Most broadcast dramas' production costs are front-loaded, which means the short fall happens in earlier seasons. It's one of the primary reasons actors have their contracts commit to the show a standard 5-8; this locks on-screen talent, baring actor-complications, so that the production breaks even by the 100 episode mark. Most shows that reach that break-even point go into the black because syndication allows the network to shop the show at a higher price per episode. While production costs rise as actors have built-in raise markers, so does the revenue stream to maintain the bottom-line, especially when a show can be shopped to more than one network.

Sorry, but my English is not the best.
The fifteenth episode took place as it is written, and it might be expected because the plot is set in season 4. In fact, on Valentine's Day in season 4 B and D were first connected, and S is the choosing of Ben pushed D right to B, and C is to do the same for B. But this is not the biggest problem GG series. As I mentioned a few days ago the producers turned the story upside down, because the main actors Blake Lively and Penn Badgley in the half of season 4 can no longer act love scenes, because they broke their own private affair. I am a fan of Serena / Dan, but the two of them not being able to compile some sort of connection of the second half of season 4 and so far has led to the producers that they finally killed the story of Serena / Dan.

I loved it, I really loved it. At last a genuine friendship turned
to real love. Great work, really nice to see something genuine
in this great show. I dont understand why ppl complain that Blair "steals"
Dan from Serena, come on its a one way there. Serena has gotten obsessed by
Dan much like Chuck is of Blair, thus thoose two would be a great couple. :p
Now I must saccrifice some of my life time on the altar (soffa) to the TV god and pray that Blair will be the real endgame.
I'm sorry. I just can't get past Dan's hair. I can't take any thing he says or does seriously with that hair....
I don't know how I feel about him and Blair because I feel like she would never go for a guy with a head of hair such as that.

The real Blair would have never hurt Serena and would have vomit at the mere idea of kissing Humphrey.

I can't believe they would turn Blair into such a pathetic person, really kissing Dan when just two episodes ago she loved Chuck more and more, when she would have given her life to save Chuck. Please what a fake character Blair has turned into a woman that has no clue of what she wants or who she loves. Worst she has betrayed everything and everyone that once matter to her.

@lucyyy Well, who could forget about that terribly cheesy dialogue?
The ratings have been sucking because it's terrible, it's all about relationship drama now and it's terribly written.
@* That's a big problem, in long, on/off relationships where the couple needs an actual break from each other, sometimes you need to let the ones you love free. What the writers did was constantly have them scurry back to each other and spew cliched cheesy dialogue at each other over and over again and now it's just beating a dying horse now.
@puppybunny1 The writers failed to have the characters develop, that or they constantly regress the characters.

@Ash He's not isolating her. Blair is doing all that on her own, she chose to go to Dan instead of Serena. Blair chose to kiss him back knowing that Serena was looking for him.
You should fear the one that actually sold her for a hotel or almost punched her in a drunken stupor after almost forcing himself on her when she said stop.
@Meep No one is saying he's perfect, you're just trying to take everything out on Dan.
Are you implying that Dan may be a killer now? Seriously?
@chair! It's not nearly as forced as the stupid Louis storyline or Chair's dialogue "I can't possibly love you anymore than I can right now".
Ash
February 14th, 2012 11:32 PM
The way Dan is isolating Blair and eliminating everyone else from her life, I fear for her if she tries to leave him now.

Can we compare Dan and Chuck's relationship with Blair after it is over? To say Dan is a good guy is ridiculous. He is a guy in love with a girl but untill we see how the writers play out the relationship..we know nothing of him being a good guy in a relationship with Blair...some of the worst boyfriends make better friends and most men who murder their spouses families and friends say that "he was such a family man, so nice, we never would have thought he could do such a thing"

Chuck does'nt think blair is a prize he is fighting for how he feels,fighting for his love for blair what's chuck suppose to do do nothing?Come on.Chuck has moved on and every time blair gets in the way and stops him from moving forward completely.I hope the writers find the error of their ways this is all screwed up.It would have been okay for blair and dan to be together I just wished the writers did'nt built chair up so much they strung them along and the fans fell for it,not cool.It would have been okay if blair did'nt went to chuck and asked him if he could live her or the child that was'nt hers,or the dead inside part or the I love you more everyday WTF?

@ Lucy : they all are fictionnal characters...but come on generally speaking someone like Dan is way more realistic than someone like Chuck Bass. Then, people are not static, they evolve, get more mature. And it happens that all GG characters are at this very strategic age when you go from being a teenager to an adult. No doubt they're will be some changings in the way you love and who you love.
You can have history with someone, it doesn't mean you're stuck with it forever. And even more, these days, only a minority of girls end up with highschool sweethearts. DAIR defines mature realistic love to me !

@ammy She was mad the moment she involved herself in the Louis drama.
