It looks like former cast member Taylor Momsen and Connor Paolo will be returning to the Upper East Side for the Gossip Girl series finale December 10. Kelly Rutherford posted the evidence on Instagram today!

It's unclear what exactly brings these two departed characters back from wherever they are (an extended stay in the Hamptons, perhaps, if you're a Revenge fan), but both will be on hand for Gossip Girl's swan song.

Actually, we do have a pretty good idea what may bring the whole gang back together. If you've missed the Gossip Girl finale set photos we posted yesterday - and just updated - consider this a major spoiler alert.

Then follow the link and let the speculation run rampant!

And welcome back, Lil J and Eric!

In honor of repeats airing for the first time on the Style network, and the final season airing this fall on the CW, TV Fanatic is taking a look back at the series that's given us so many great memories over the years.

Last week, we reflected on Gossip Girl Season 2, the year that saw our Upper East Siders graduate. Today, we ask you to share your memories of the show's third season and all the craziness that transpired then.

Many people most remember Season 3 for its climactic and gut-wrenching moment, when Blair and Chuck could have been...

So a couple of college students go on an online auction site and find an auction for a two-hundred-year-old ghost trapped in a box. So, they buy it. And, there's a ghost in it. And it starts killing people. And they're surprised?

Clearly the real monster here is eBay's shady return policy.

Did I mention the box used to be owned by TV's Superman himself, Dean Cain? Don't get excited though, he's in the movie for maybe ten minutes. The rest is about Jim (Stephen Colletti), Dixie (Jonathan 'Lil J' McDaniel), and Ginger (Masiela Lusha), three long-time friends and students at Generic U. Dixie and Ginger aren't sleeping together but act like it, Jim and Ginger want to be sleeping together but don't act like it, and Jim and Dixie are roommates and so sleep together anyway.
