Blair is over the moon that she is dating royalty and has every intention of becoming a royal herself, but a scheming Chuck has other plans for Blair and hew new love, Marcus. Serena and Dan agree to keep their recent hook-ups a secret from their friends and family until they figure out what all this means for their relationship.

Ed Westwick stars as Chuck, an overly confident and sexy bad boy, in The CW's new drama "Gossip Girl," from Josh Schwartz ("The O.C."), based on the tremendously popular book series about privileged teenagers who attend an elite private school in New York City.
An emerging young British actor trained at The National Youth Theatre in London, Westwick was recently seen in two high profile features. He played the role of Alex in Alfonso Cuaron's "Children of Men," opposite Clive Owen and Julianne Moore. Westwick was also seen playing the role of Zoran in Anthony Mighella's "Breaking and Entering," opposite Jude Law, Juliette Binoche and Robin Wright Penn.
Westwick will next be seen in the film "100 Feet," a supernatural thriller written by and to be directed by Eric Red. Starring alongside Famke Janssen and Bobby Cannavale, Westwick plays Joey, a handsome Brooklyn delivery boy who delivers groceries to Janssen's character, who is under house arrest. It is not long before they begin a heated affair. He will also be seen in "Son of Rambow," an independent film directed by Garth Jennings. Westwick plays Lawrence, a bully and surrogate father figure to his devoted younger brother. "Son of Rambow," which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival, caused quite a buzz at the festival, selling to Paramount Vantage for the highest amount at the festival.
Additional credits include guest leads in "Afterlife" for ITV1, "Casualty" for the BBC, "Doctors" for the BBC and "Dream Team" for Sky One. When not filming "Gossip Girl" in New York City, Westwick resides outside London.
