Zap2it's Guide to the Return of 'Gossip Girl'

Nate Archibald
(Chace Crawford)

When we first met him: Doing what's expected -- attending the right college and eventually marrying Blair -- just doesn't hold any appeal for this disillusioned lad who still has a thing for Serena.

How we left him: He's left to pick up the pieces after dad Howie is arrested for cocaine possession, embezzlement and fraud followed by an attempted suicide chaser. Is it any wonder Nate loses it when he discovers Blair and Chuck's perfidy?
