Update on Gossip Girl

Just read Ausiello on EW.com (here). This is the latest on Georgina and how long she will be around in the fall.

Questions: I just finished watching the Gossip Girl finale, and it was awesome. My question for you is about Georgina: At the end of the episode she announced she was going to be Blair's roommate at NYU -- strongly implying that she would be a presence, if not a regular character, in season 3. But Michelle Trachtenberg is in NBC's new fall drama, Mercy. What does this mean about Georgina and Gossip Girl? --Cory
Ausiello: It means producers thought ahead and made sure Trachtenberg negotiated a three-episode Gossip Girl "out" in her Mercy contract. You didn't really think the Georgina-Blair roommate thing would last longer than that, did you?

Thought this was interesting.
