Executive producer Stephanie Savage will write the Gossip Girl series finale this fall, according to various reports. She's responsible for some of the best installments throughout the series, so that only bodes well.

Savage and co-EP Josh Schwartz also penned the October 8 season premiere, "Gone Maybe Gone." If the Gossip Girl Season 6 trailer and this season premiere clip are any indication, it's going to be solid.

Elsewhere, TV Line's Michael Ausiello has a couple of interesting tidbits:

1. Dan’s going to need a place to crash when he returns home from Europe, because the Brooklyn loft is off limits ... follow the link above and watch the Season 6 trailer for a clue as to why that's the case.

Blair, meanwhile, lives in a huge place with plenty of bedrooms. Hmm.

2. The show will have most, if not all episodes, build to a lavish event. This may include a fashion show, Thanksgiving dinner, a horse show, an art show, Jenny’s memorial service, a store opening and a Cotillion.

Emphasis on may. There's a "foiler" on that list apparently.
