Why Leighton Meester Isn’t Closing the Door on Gossip Girl

Is Blair Waldorf putting the “B” back in Queen B?
 
Well, according to Leighton Meester—who, as fans know, played the It Girl of the Upper East Side in the original run of Gossip Girl—she’s open to the idea of a possible return for the HBO Max reboot.
 
“Yeah, I don’t know—I mean, you know, I’m doing a junket today, this has been asked a couple times, I’m going, ‘I don’t know maybe,'” she told Fox 5 New York in a recent interview. “I will say, you know…I’ve watched the new one, I do think it’s really awesome.”
 
And although she’s not closing the door on reprising her character, Leighton—who shares two kids with husband Adam Brody—did express an appreciation for the series as a loyal viewer this time around.
 
“You know, I do feel like—I’m happy for them,” she said of the new cast. “I feel like they’re doing a whole new thing… and I don’t think that we don’t fit in but—or I can only speak for myself—I don’t feel like I fit in.”
