E! Online's spoiler Q&A has a couple of Gossip Girl notes today. Here's what their sleuths have to say about the future of two of the show's guest actresses:

Q: How is Michelle Trachtenberg going to juggle Gossip Girl and her new show Mercy?

A: Gossip Girl's Georgina Sparks herself says, "I can't even begin to guess what the writers have in store for me. I mean, Mercy is definitely something that will take a lot of time and will be spearheaded, so there will be a little bit of a combination of everything. The great news is that even if Georgina isn't in as many episodes as one would think... she kind of can't die ever. So she'll be in and out always."

Q: Anything you can tell about Olivia's new guy on Gossip Girl?

A: Olivia's (Hilary Duff) new guy is actually an old flame. Olivia first appears in episode four on Gossip Girl in this third season, and shortly thereafter we meet her ex-boyfriend, who's interested in getting back in her life.

How will this impact her relationship with Dan?
