The
Gossip Girl spin-off, set to take off via a 20-minute flashback on the CW series' May 11 episode, hasn't even received an official pick-up, but executive producer Josh Schwartz already has a lot of ideas for it.
For instance, according to Schwartz, since the spin-off took place in the 80s when Serena's (
Blake Lively) mom Lily (
Kelly Rutherford) was in high school, it's very possible that she'll meet and even hang out with several characters from
The O.C.
“What we know is [
O.C. characters] Kirsten Cohen, or Kirsten Nichols as she was born, and Jimmy Cooper lived in Newport Beach in the ‘80s,” he said. “So there's a total possibility that in one episode, Lily could have been friends with Kirsten or Jimmy Cooper when they were young. I would love to do that.”
The CW has previously said that the spin-off will receive the green light depending on how the particular episode would fare in the ratings as well as the general public reception.
