The Way Serena Says Chuck's Name on Gossip Girl Is Inexplicably Infuriating
Gossip Girl re-watch, and like any good stan, I asked him to send me copious updates. So far we've discussed the usual: Eric's boyfriend (Jonathan) is a monster, Leighton Meester's music deserves the world, the episode is iconic. But one night last week he sent me a text that read, “I can't stop thinking about the way Serena says…” followed by a voice note he recorded. That's when a memory I've long had locked away came barreling out, fully on fire. “Chuck,” Connor said in his voice note, mimicking the mouth-full-of-marshmallows way Serena (or rather, actor Blake Lively) pronounces the GG antagonist's name. My body tensed up.
