Page from Dan's book #1

In June 2008 rumors surfaced about a possible spin-off based around the character Jenny Humphrey, based on the book series The It Girl, but Head Writer Josh Schwartz denied the claims, saying that there was nothing in development.[11]

According to Variety in December 2008, "The CW may utilize an episode of Gossip Girl later this साल to test the spinoff waters. The TV spinoff would nonetheless likely center on one of the show's nine regular characters -- although there's always a chance a new character could be planted in the backdoor pilot." [3]

However, Warner Bros. released a statement later...

I didn't think I would ever say this, especially with what the writers had done with her. After a season and a half, I can safely say I liked her in the latest episode.

The scene where Penelope "gives" the क्वीन B शीर्षक to Jenny, and Jenny was all "what the hell are आप on about?" Yeah, that won it over for me.

Also there was the whole Jenny/Eric chemistry shining through. I feel like the writers wasted a good thing with Eric. They made him gay, and what now? He doesn't even have a decent storyline या romance. *sigh* But I digress.

So Yes. I, who took shots at the characterization of Jenny any...
