Brace yourselves, GGers, because Gossip Girl Season 4 isn't coming back until April 18. On that Monday far, far in the future, we'll return to the Upper East Side — and that fateful, time-stopping kiss — with Episode 18, "The Kids Stay in the Picture."

This episode, the first of Gossip Girl's end-of-season run, promises to be very Dair-ing. Based on the preview, Vanessa finds out about Dan and Blair and tells Chuck, who confronts Dan. In the meantime, the van der Woodsen clan endures a media maelstrom in the wake of Lily's decision to turn herself in.

Romance? Check. Scandal? Check. Haute fashion? Check. Scheming? Double-check. "The Kids Stay in the Picture" promises to have it all!

Catch the promo below. Can April 18 be tomorrow?

Penn Badgley tells us, "It doesn't end how you think it does at all. I can't say [if it's good or bad]. It's sudden."

I’ve seen the future, and there are a lot of very unhappy people.

Multiple sources are confirming that a wildly popular character on an hour drama that has long been an Aushole staple is about to take his/her last breath.

I’m told the producers of this unnamed broadcast series are planning to kill off the fan favorite either in the season finale or soon after the show returns next season.

It’s not clear if the decision was made for creative or budgetary reasons — it was likely a combination of both — but it’s my understanding that it was not arrived at lightly. Far from it, in fact.

There’s also a chance the execs at the program in question will have a last-minute change of heart, but, according my spies, it’s an extremely slim one.
