One week away from the season 3 premiere, the cast of “Gossip Girl” are coming out to reveal their characters’ development in the new chapter. Jessica Szohr who plays Vanessa has been doing a favor of being the interviewer for Leighton Meester (Blair), Penn Badgley (Dan) and Ed Westwick (Chuck).

In her chat with Leighton, Jessica asked about the dynamic of Blair and Chuck. “It’s gonna be pretty fun because we get to sort of see what a real-life relationship would be between Chuck and Blair. It’s not a normal and conventional relationship by any means but for right now, the fighting and the love-hate is gonna be over a little bit,” Leighton explained.

Ed sounded off similar comment about the complicated relationship between his character and Leighton’s, saying “During the summer break, Chuck and Blair have been running around having some fun. We’ve been enjoying our love and our relationship. It’s not kind of your average relationship. It’s with an edge, it’s with sort of spark. …It’s hot and it’s heavy.”

In the interview with Penn, Vanessa pinned on the fact that Dan is now a family to his ex-girlfriend Serena. “Is Dan still in love with Serena?” Vanessa asked. Penn answered, “I don’t think they are. Now they act like brother and sister a lot. That’s also a huge transition for Dan’s character.”

Blake Lively and Chace Crawford meanwhile did an individual tape of themselves speaking about their characters Serena and Nate respectively. Blake said Serena is having an identity crisis because she was looking for her father and Carter (Sebastian Stan) will aid her a lot in this. Nate meanwhile is going to date a new girl who is actually from a family rival.
