Gossip Girl is a book series by Cecily von Ziegesar that was adapted for television in the year 2007. The show is produced by Josh Schwartz and it first debuted on the CW network to mixed reviews. Many people who had read the series felt that the television show did not do the characters and storylines justice and that it was simply not as good. Ziegesar took a stand and announced that she was very happy with the television series and that she was pleased to see they had used all of her storylines.
The Gossip Girl TV show is comprised of six main characters with a lot of minor characters who come and go as well. The main characters are Serena van der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, Nate Archibald, Chuck Bass, and Dan and Jenny Humphrey. Serena, Blair, Nate and Chuck all live on the Upper East Side, but Dan and Jenny live in Brooklyn. All of the males attend a same sex high school in the Upper East Side called St. Judes while the girls attend the Constance Billard School for Girls. Both of these are private schools which is why Dan and Jenny can attend even though they live in Brooklyn. Dan and Jenny Humphrey live with their father, Rufus, a musician who was really big years ago, but still performs today. Since Rufus is somewhat of a struggling musician he can not provide the luxuries for his children that all of their friends have. Dan is very grounded and is happy with his life, but Jenny loses sight of what is important when she gets caught in the mix with some of the wealthy girls at school.
Dan spends years admiring Serena from afar, but never has the courage to approach her and tell her how he really feels. When Serena returns from a year abroad Dan decides that this is his last chance to be with her. Despite the fact that Serena was raised in a privileged lifestyle that Dan can only dream of, they get along very well and their relationship takes a romantic turn almost immediately. Throughout the course of their relationship on the Gossip Girl TV show, they discover that Rufus and Lily, the mother of Serena, had a romantic relationship years ago. It becomes clear to them that they are just an example of history repeating itself, as it does so often in the world.
