OlderGossip Girl Spin-Off Starring Lily & Rufus?
The Gossip Girl spin-off will reportedly center around Serena’s mom, Lily, and Dan’s dad, Rufus, currently played by Kelly Rutherford and Matthew Settle.
“The show will focus on the early romance between Lily and Rufus,” an insider tells Star. “It begins when they first meet, during a time when Rufus and his band are at the height of their career. The show will follow the high society and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle in New York.”
None of the original cast members will be leaving the show as, the insiders adds, “two new actors will be hired to play the young Lily and Rufus. Producers are planning to introduce the new couple during a flashback scene in an upcoming episode of Gossip Girl.”
WILL YOU WATCH a spin-off show based on the lives on Lily and Rufus?
UPDATE: Gossip Girl executive producers and Warner Bros. Television tell JustJared.com that there is no approved concept and/or confirmation of a Gossip Girl spin-off at this time.

This is an absolutely horrendous idea! Those two characters are awful and their story is worse. Sounds like a bore.
yes!!!!!!!!!
Rufus is a DILF!
no. absolutely not.
That would be wonderful, Rufus and Lily are my favourite couple after Chuck and Blair. I’m not so sure if I’ll watch it though, they’d have to have a pretty damn good cast for that.
I also would watch this show, as Rufus and Lily are pretty much the only thing I love on the original GG. Tolerance, different strokes, etc., some day we will all be as “old” as Rufus and Lily, knock on wood…!
Yes, I will watch… I so LOVEEE the couple!
YAY! Love them.
i hate dan’s dad! there s sth really annoying about him and dan. really sick of watching them. i won t if not for the clothes.
Apparently this is going to be an online series..
I love the idea, it could be very romantic, but the only problem I find is the 80s outfits, one of the best parts of gossip girl is how trendy they dress
totally watching. :) ♥
xoxo.
OMG yes! I love them together! I usually don’t like the older couples in shows like these but they seem so genuine.
I would totally watch that.
Oh God no. Spin offs never work.
I’d definitely watch that, it sounds awesome!
theyre a dull couple now, but it might be interesting watching all the drama that happened before, groupies, rock, high society snobs, whats not to like?
i HIGHLY doubt that i will actually watch a spin-off of two of the least interesting characters.
no thanks.
omg, lily and rufus.. that would rock my socks off
This just reminds me of The OC when they had the flashbacks of the younger Sandy, Kirsten and Jimmy. But I like Rufus and Lily. If this is true, I think it not a bad idea. Although I was guessing if there were a spinoff it would be of Jenny.
omg. yay!
this would be awsome
soooo much better than the jenny centred spinoff rumours
yay
interesting idea–i dont think a prequel spin off has ever been done– but i don’t think this idea is meaty enough for a whole series–a telemovie maybe, but a whole season? i don’t think id be all that interested for that long.
I really dont think gossip girl should have a spin off just yet, its only in it’s 2nd season, and its such a great ensemble of characters that taking any of them away or attempting to focus on any of the secondary characters seems uninteresting at this point. They work as a whole for now–I’d wait until the eventual Teen drama college delema arises (what to do with a show when the characters are ready to go off to college)– give the spin off to a main character or two as they go off to school, or follow all the characters off to college and spin off a show for those sticking around–it doesnt matter there are a ton of ways you could work it, but bottom line is THOSE are the characters we want to follow, not a young rufus and lilly–i kinda dont want to know ALL the details of their past romance, i like hearing about it in memories–it’s more romantic.
thats not true. It was a rumor that they were going to have like an web-series of lilly/rufus teenage years… but instead… they decided to go with webisodes centered on Dorota :|
They are not old and I don’t understand why they can’t be endgame. They have so much chemistry and both the actors are so good, they are totally wasted in that show. TPTB should give those two the spin-off. The 80s show may not work since everyone knows how that relationship ends.
it must be blair or chuck!
i would love to see that. they are the cutest gossip girl couple next to chuck and blair.
