PENN BADGLEY
It’s hard to even
remember Penn as
“Lonely Boy” Dan
Humphrey since his
chilling turn as stalker/
killer Joe Goldberg
in the TV thriller You.
As well as scaring the
pants off us all, Penn
also married singer
Domino Kirke in 2017.
And as for him showing up
on the Upper East Side again,
the actor admits, “I suppose you
should never say never.”

ED WESTWICK
The Brit actor’s career – which
has seen him star in TV series
White Gold since GG – was
nearly derailed after he was
accused of sexual assault
by three women in 2017.
But the allegations were
dismissed in 2018. “I’m
delighted everybody got it
right. I’ll be back to work very
soon,” says Ed, who will next
appear in war drama Enemy
Lines. But it doesn’t sound
like he’s keen to revisit his
alter ego Chuck Bass. “I did so
much with that character –
it’s played out, man,” he
says. “It’s done.”

TAYLOR MOMSEN
Taylor ditched acting after leaving
little Jenny Humphrey behind and
has been focusing on her band
The Pretty Reckless. The rockers
are currently recording their fourth
album and it doesn’t sound like Tay
has any plans to reunite with the
Constance Billard crew. “I’m not
looking to go back to it,” she says.

LEIGHTON MEESTER
Her main role these days
is mum to her daughter
Arlo, three, with hubby
Adam Brody (yep, Seth
from The OC!) who she
wed in 2014. But the
actress has also been
trying her hand at
designing, recently
creating three special-
edition jumpsuits for
fashion label Christy
Dawn. She’d also
consider pulling on Blair
Waldorf’s headband
again. “I never say
never,” she says.
