Meet The New ‘Gossip’ Guy
It looks like Blair Waldorf, played by Leighton Meester, will be gettin’ herself a new boyfriend (and Chuck Bass, played by Ed Westwick, will be gettin’ a new rival) in the upcoming second season of Gossip Girl and People magazine has sniffed out a few deets about her new man. Here are a few pics of Leighton on the NY streets sets of GG with Patrick Heusinger, who will be playing a new GG character named Marcus along with a few deets about his role on the show:

Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) was spotted on more than one occasion with a new — and very good-looking — guy while spending time in the country this summer. The same guy was also spotted getting sweaty over a game of squash with Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick). So who is this guy and what’s his story? Read on to find out. The guy’s name is Marcus (Patrick Heusinger), a source close to the show tells PEOPLE. “He’s Blair’s new love interest and Chuck’s rival,” the source says. “Blair met him in Europe, introduced by Ben, whom she flew to Italy with after Chuck stood her up” … At the end of the squash scene, observers say Marcus and Chuck shook hands on the court and then Marcus gave Chuck a number, which Chuck programmed into his phone.
Meh. Maybe Chuck was just saving the dude’s digits in order to “keep his options open” ;) That would really spice up things on the show. While I’m glad that they are infusing fresh blood into the show, I doubt his arrival will be as exciting as the arrival of Georgina Sparks, played by Michelle Trachtenberg, was at the end of last season. Tho, considering the way the producers ended her run on the show (I felt it was INCREDIBLY LAME the way she exited the show simply by way of Blair telling on Georgina to her parents) I’m hoping they’ll be more creative with this new guy. He looks a bit old, don’t he? Maybe it’s the lighting but he looks too old to be a high school student … unless Blair will be gettin’ her freak on with an older man. Dun. Dun. Duuuuun. Now, that would be exciting, too … tho, I’d still prefer it if Chuck kept his options open :)

In the books, Blair meets and goes out with a guy thats she compares to being like Nate but ‘better’ because he doesnt smoke and he is a student at Yale (so yes he is older). I’m 99% sure his name was Marcus..
