Where is scott rosson

Actors often play characters that are way younger than their actual age. We see this all the time in high school movies. You can't honestly think that hunkish men are juniors in high school looking that ripped. Gossip Girl is no exception. The main characters all start the show as juniors at high school, even though they may not look it.

As such, there is no way so many underage shenanigans should be going on. I know the show is dealing with rich Upper East Siders, but seriously! How many events can these supposedly sixteen- and seventeen-year olds attend? They even do things in front of their parents!

Admittedly during brunch, but come on, parents, the least you could do is try and be parental for a bit. In a most soap opera-esque turn of events, William van der Woodsen, Serena's dad and Lily's ex-husband, appears on the show as Lily's doctor.

He's treating her for cancer. Aside from the fact that it's totally weird that Lily's ex-husband is her doctor, it turns out that the whole thing was a trick. William was giving her medicine that would keep her ill. Who does this?! If you haven't seen Gossip Girl, let me tell you that its episodes are populated with insane characters who do insane things for insane reasons. Supposedly, William wanted to get back together with Lily, and I guess he thought having her rely on him during her sickness was the way to go about it.

The main characters of Gossip Girl do horrible things to each other. In each of their own special ways, they are all repugnant people. They talk smack about each other behind their backs, they humiliate each other in public, and yet, they still call each other "friend. They're constantly getting into and out of relationships with each other; I don't know how they can even remain cordial with each other afterwards. For example, Blair has, at some point, had a relationship with every male who is a main character.

And somehow, everything is still hunky dory with everyone by the end of the show. Do you know what's a totally overused plot point on a television show when you want one of your characters to have a bit of a do-over? You give a character amnesia. Gossip Girl decided to turn that formula on its head by giving Chuck Bass "fake amnesia. He gets a new girlfriend complete with a new job. They couldn't leave him there indefinitely, of course. Chuck gets dragged back to his old life and his old ways eventually.

Here's a little bit of advice to future TV show writers. Fake amnesia is not better than real amnesia. In fact, it's actually a little bit worse. Chuck became a coward instead of a stereotype. Do you know how difficult it is to get published in The New Yorker? Let me put it to you this way: it's hard. Really hard. Even accomplished writers with prior publishing history can have a tough time getting their work to appear in this esteemed magazine.

NO WAY. I'm sorry for the all caps, but this is personally very irksome. I don't care how great his story was. There is absolutely, no possible way that this should have happened. It makes no sense that an inexperienced, shlumpy, stodgy, private school hipster was able to wow the editors at The New Yorker.

I sound bitter, don't I? But hey, I'm not the only one who has a problem with this. Another nonsensical occurrence that happens more than one time in the show is when a main character starts getting close with a teacher. Serena van der Woodsen starts a relationship with her Colombia professor of Psychology of Business class. It ends after it runs its course. And let's not forget Dan Humphrey's relationship with his teacher while he was still at high school.

A lot of young people watch Gossip Girl and they should bear in mind two things. One, teachers are not all extraordinarily good-looking. Gossip Girl always made a point of hiring especially attractive actors and actresses to portray their characters. Two, and more importantly, getting close with teachers is a major no-no. It's unethical and bad if you are a minor.

When Serena is desperately trying to get her absentee father's attention, she employs the most nonsensical of tactics.

She acts like a crazy, wild party-girl with the hope that getting her name in the tabloids will garner some notice from her dad.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that no father truly wants his daughter to be seen as a raging party animal. Maybe William is the creepy exception, who knows? But I'm pretty sure that there were better ways for Serena to find her father. She comes from a well-off family. Recent blog posts. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account?

After the match, he and Vanessa kiss and enter into a relationship. While there, he's questioned about his professor recommendations and he begins to shut down and act rudely.

The next day, he apologizes to Vanessa and gives her a report on every professor he had The Freshmen. Unbeknownst to everyone, Scott begins to take guitar lessons from Rufus; who is impressed with his natural ability. At the same time, Vanessa is becoming suspicious of Scott and learns he is lying about being a student at NYU.

She confides in Dan, who begins to plot with Georgina to find Scott's true identity. They realize that Scott's real last name is Rosson, and not Adler like he was saying it was. Dan recognizes the name from the fan letter, and they wonder if Scott is some type of stalker. Meanwhile, Vanessa learns the truth: that Scott is Rufus and Lily's son.

She encourages him to tell Rufus, and he agrees to do so at the Sotheby's auction. Before he does so, he calls his mother to tell her of his intentions.

She hurries to New York to tell him he supports him, and Scott decides not to tell Rufus at the last minute. He lies that Andrew was his son, and he is only his brother. Rufus is happily surprised, and asks him and his mother to come and talk. Scott declines, and says maybe they can develop things as time goes on. The next day, he tells Vanessa that he can't tell them ever and that he's headed back for Boston. She admits she can't keep the secret forever, and they kiss.

Once there, he sees them arguing and confronts them, worried that they aren't going to get married after all. Lily, annoyed at his rudeness, tells him off and he leaves.
