What is that storyline you might ask? According to Settle, “There’s the potential for a reentry into the music world…so that’s an exciting line coming up.”
Gossip Girl fans won’t be surprised by this as the writing has been on the wall for awhile, but don’t be surprised to see increased tension between Rufus and Lily.
In a recent interview, Matthew Settle said that Rufus will start to explore his music career again and that it might affect his relationship with his wife and how Lily has disappointed him.
“Absolutely, he’s let down by her. But then he’s also understanding about why she did it. One of the interesting things about Rufus is, now that he’s living on the Upper East Side, he’s starting to understand firsthand that being political is an investment in—what the choice about who you’re going to support [means] When you don’t have all the information you’ll make decisions that may not be moral choices, good moral choices, based on the well-being of your family. That’s what Lily’s motives have always been, to protect her family. The trick is, as parents, do we protect our family in the right way? And I guess it’s hard to have a Supreme Court in your head to help keep [all the decisions] straight. Definitely some of her machinations are catching up with her this season, but at the same time Rufus has this undying love for Lily, and she’s the one, they’re soul mates. You stick by your woman.”
