Gossip Girl Season 4 Spoilers: Chuck Bass Lives!

Not that we’re surprised, but the Gossip Girl press release unveiled at the CW network’s upfront presentation for Season 4 seems to confirm that Ed Westwick’s character lives.

Despite being in peril in Prague as the Season 3 finale drew to a close, it looks like Chuck Bass will recover in time to fight another season. In Europe, no less. Excited yet?! The circumstances surrounding his return are intriguing, and a little unexpected, to say the least. Here’s the CW’s first tease for what we can expect in the 2010-11 season …

“Season Four will open with a radiant Serena and Blair enjoying their grand, romantic summer in Paris … until Chuck mysteriously arrives in town with a new girlfriend and a new identity.” “Blair swore off Chuck forever but will this changed man woo Blair into having a change of heart, or will Queen B set her sights on ruling Columbia University? And as for that baby … ?”

New girlfriend? New identity?

What do you think happens between him being shot and Chuck’s forthcoming arrival in Paris – and what do you think all this means for Chuck’s future with Blair? Discuss!
