During all six seasons of Gossip Girl, the mystery of the titular character’s identity remained a mystery. It was not until the series finale that this question was finally answered. As it turned out, “Gossip Girl’ was actually a boy all along. Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) was the mystery behind the drama, scandal and lies that fueled the fiery plot of the Upper East Side of New York City. It was shocking for fans, who pointed out why Dan being Gossip Girl makes no sense. It might also shock them to know Dan wasn’t the TV producers first choice to be Gossip Girl.
