PW: And, lastly, I must talk to anda about one of my favorit things happening on TV right now — Dan & Blair. Thoughts?
Leighton: There are a lot of surprises there — some good, some not so good. They are two characters who haven’t had much of a chance to interact, and thus Penn [Badgley] and I haven’t. Before our scenes were mostly just been me dictating to him, now we get conversational scenes, which are great. I cinta working with and off him, and I’m just as curious as anda are to see where that friendship goes. For me, he brings out a different side of Blair. One that we haven’t seen before since he doesn’t care what she thinks.
PW: Now, I cinta them together, but don’t want them to be together in a romantic way. How do anda feel about a possible romance there?
Leighton: I like Chuck and Blair [laughs]. But I have no control over how they write her. Plus, I always cinta what the writers do — I know they’ll do her justice. Like the storyline with Prince Louis. I really enjoyed that because I always think Blair should be with a Prince. Although that might just be me projecting for myself [laughs].
