I am so excited to see Brittany Snow on the new Gossip Girl spinoff. She will be playing ‘Lily’. I think Brit is an excellent choice for the part and she will do an amazing job.
TV Guide got the inside scoop from this rising star.
Brittany Snow is vintage ’80s on the set of the CW’s new Gossip Girl spin-off. “My hair right now is a little teased, feathered like Farrah Fawcett with curly bangs like Brooke Shields,” says Brittany, who plays a young Lily Rhodes—many marriages before she becomes the van der Woodsen mom to Serena and Eric—in the prequel pilot currently called Lily.
The nostalgia doesn’t end with hair. Brittany drives a white 1984 Porsche Carrera convertible down Malibu’s Pacific Coast Highway. Teenage Lily also rocks out at a Sunset Strip club to a punk band played by No Doubt (including Gwen Stefani!), who will perform a cover of Adam & the Ants’ “Stand and Deliver.” Brittany says Lily has two distinct looks in the episode. She starts out appearing very upper-crust, “but then I undergo this transformation from being a very preppy girl to being more a rebellious teenager in the underground punk-rock scene.”
The story—set to air as part of Gossip Girl’s May 18 season finale—kicks off with a drama involving Serena (Blake Lively) that sends Lily (Kelly Rutherford) into a flashback of getting booted from boarding school. “She wants to get kicked out so she can go live with her father,” says Brittany, who is 23 playing 17. “She comes up with this elaborate plan to kiss a boy, and then lie about it, which is against the school’s strict honor code.”
Lily’s dad, Rick (Andrew McCarthy), a music mogul, doesn’t want to live with Lily, and Lily doesn’t get along with her mom, CeCe (Cynthia Watros). So she ends up in the valley with her black-sheep sister Carol (Krysten Ritter), who’s dating musician Shep (Ryan Hansen). Shiloh Fernandez plays Owen, an ex-con and Lily’s love interest. Turns out Brittany and Shiloh already kissed when the two appeared in a Cary Brothers music video. Owen isn’t the only one in trouble with the law—Lily lands in jail in the first episode.
Jail, huh? This sounds like it will have a great jump start! I can’t wait!!
