The sparks are flying between Leighton Meester (Blair) and Penn Badgley (Dan) on Gossip Girl and at least one cast member is supporting the new angle that producers seem to be going with.
“I’m all for it,” said costar Connor Paolo (Eric). “Penn [Badgley] and Leighton [Meester] are very talented actors, so once you put them in a scene together you’re going to get a lot of chemistry. People were all up in arms about the prospect of a Dan/Blair relationship just because they have such loyalty to Chuck and Blair. However, now after seeing them together on screen people are being won over.”
