Welcome back, Upper East Siders. You know you missed me.

Come one, come all. Gather round and prepare to be graced by the presence of royalty.

Thats right, the return of Manhattans elite may soon be upon us. Rumors of a Gossip Girl reunion airing in 2018 are spilling out, and we are not worthy.

For most of the early 2000s, people swooned over the likes of Chuck Bass and Nate Archibald, while even more fans would give their left kidney to step foot into Serenas closet.

Apparently, Blake Lively would do just about anything to spend another day in Ss closet, too. The actress, now 30, agreed to revive Serena van der Woodsen one more time.

Im open to anything thats good, thats interesting, and that sort of feels necessary, Lively told Vanity Fair. We all owe so much to this show, and I think that it would be silly not to acknowledge that.

Unfortunately, not all of our socialite icons are as willing to step back into the Upper East side. Ed Westwick said he will not be returning for the reunion. Yes, you read that right, ladies and gentlemen. Grab those tissues and prepare to ugly cry because viewers will not be blessed to witness the return of Chuck Bass.

So why wave the white flag and call it quits? While he enjoyed his five years on set, Westwick said he doesnt feel the show deserves a remastered edition just yet.

It feels like we only just finished. And I havent done enough in between yet to feel like I could comfortably revisit it [Chuck Bass] is played out. Its done, he told Radio Times.

How soon is too soon? The revamp of Full House, and even Gilmore Girls had 90s kids everywhere freaking out, but has enough time passed for Gossip Girl to be worthy of revival? Or is the teenie bopper drama played out, and better off left to rest in 2012?

The controversial ending is what sparked the idea of reuniting our favorite affluent, glamorous New Yorkers. Producer Cecily von Ziegesar is ready to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the series launch with a reunion to answer all hopes and prayers from the fans. Will Lonely Boy and S have a successful marriage? Has Queen B finally found her true throne? Stay tuned to find out.

Until then XOXO.
