Katie Cassidy's Juliet Sharp played a crucial role in the first half of Gossip Girl's fourth season, but left town after coming clean to Serena in the mid-season finale, "The Townie."

While Juliet's brother Ben (David Call), the reason behind Juliet's machinations, is now getting a major story arc of his own, will Ms. Cassidy grace the Gossip Girl set again yet?

Executive producer Stephanie Savage tells EW that she “definitely left the door open for her to come back at some point.” Interesting ... is that something you'd like to see?

Moreover, rumor has it that "Juliet isn’t the only familiar face who could be popping up soon." What do you make of that? Who else is returning in the near future? Discuss below.
