From Ausiello:
Yay or nay?
I kind of like the idea of seeing Mechelle again. She hasn't had too high a profile since Buffy ended and this show might be a great way to bring her back up.
Guess that pesky financial i$$ue worked itself out after all: I can now reveal that not only was Michelle Trachtenberg the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alumna to whom I alluded in today's AA, but a deal has been sealed for her to join Gossip Girl.
And even though probably every other starlet in Hollywood under the age of 30 had to be salivating over the prospect of playing Georgina Sparks, a troublemaker from Serena's past who makes Blair look about as dangerous as Donna Martin, I think the CW's casting department nailed it. (C'mon, Buffy's sis was always one prickly pear!) For that matter, Trachtenberg lucked out, too: Could there be a more entertaining way for a young actress to make her comeback than by playing an adolescent Cruella? Didn't think so.

They eventually began to date, but probably not long since the books seem to be all about Serena/Nate/Blair. I could see Nate meeting her while visiting his dad, just has she's preparing to leave to go back to her normal life.
(Well PM, just referencing Buffy)
