So wait, there won’t be any Basstards?

Yesterday some news hit the web that probably shook those die hard Blair and Chuck fans to their core. It has been reported through multiple sources that Blair and Chuck are going to break up this season!

I’m told Chuck does “something horrible,” and that everyone is going hate him for it.

Oh the horror! I’m sure every true Gossip Girl fan totally lost their cool when they read about this little tidbit. (Tangent: Why is that Gossip Girl fans really can’t stay away from the spoilers? We find out things we really don’t want to know, but we have to keep reading them.) But should we really be that stunned. First off, no one on Gossip Girl is allowed to be happy. Honestly, Blair and Chuck are the only couple that has managed to stay happy and drama free this long EVER on the show. Everyone should just be glad that it lasted this long.

Original Photo: The CWBut what could Chuck do that is so bad that is going to make us hate him? Is he going to cheat? Would we really hate him if he cheated? Cheating is so cliche, let’s go for the whole shebang and make him do something really mean and dirty! Let’s not just pretend to hate Chuck, let’s really end up hating Chuck. Let’s bring back the old Chuck Bass that was always doing something that was making fans scream at the television. There hasn’t been any of that is season three at all. But let’s dig a little deeper…

Jack Bass (Desmond Harrington) is also implicated in the end of Chair, but of course, we’d expect nothing less from the likes of that villain.

No word yet on how long this relationshipocalypse will last, but apparently it begins unfolding in either episode 17 (“Inglourious Bassterds”) or episode 18 (“The Unblairable Lightness of Being”), both of which are set to air in mid-April.

Are you surprised that Jack has anything to do with this breakup? No one really should be. Could this mean that we’ll finally find out what happened with Jack and Blair? Or did Chuck just fall into stupidity and get caught up in another one of Jack’s schemes? Jack Bass making an appearance again is going to make for good television.

Blair and Chuck was never my focus of the show but has been for so many people. People said they would stop watching the show if Blair and Chuck did not become a couple, so are people going to stop watching now that they won’t be a couple? But let’s be honest, would we have wanted them together living like a 30 year old couple when they have so much more life to tackle? That would have been boring for me and I don’t think the writers could have worked an interesting story out of that. But to each his own, what do you guys think about the break up?

    I already read that on youknowyouloveme.org and was shocked!
    the two of them were like the seth & summer from oc, the logan & rory from gilmore girls. THEY HAVE TO BE TOGETHER!
    Couldn’t they just kill Rufus, Eric or effin Jenny?
    That would’ve been less painful than that…

    << having a party in my cublicle
    Seriously Chair has been a major snoozer this season…it's time Chuck became the vilain he was penned to be in season1

    Its time the writers stayed true to their characters.Chuck started out as an attempted rapist.How can he be in a long-term committed relationship.I am tired of Blair.Something needs a shake up.I agree with Trixee^^ they have become a bore this season.
    And I’m sorry Coco,Rory and Jess were my ultimate TV ship.

    I’m okay with them breaking up as long as they get back together eventually. I liked it better when they were both evil, not a boring blah couple. This news does make me very sad, but for some reason I feel like this is sort of a ruse by the CW. I know Chuck and Blair fans everywhere are disappointed, but hopefully this will add some drama to the couple that could really use some.

    I’m a big C&B fan, but this is good news to me. They have been so boring since they became “official”. I want to see a return of that great heat C&B had in episodes like “The Dark Knight”, and the only way to do that is up the tension … with a break-up.

    I can’t wait until Blair even looks at another guy and the jealousy makes Chuck return to that uncontrollable bad-boy we all fell in love with in season one.

    Insane sexy chemistry + previous history = great series finale reunion!

    ..OOOOOOOMMMMMMMGGGGG!!!! When I read this I was really shocked…because I LOVE Chuck and Blair together, ’cause their had a real relaionship, and they realy fought for being to together for soooooooooooooo long…If they come back togehter at the end, its okay for me..’cause I’m okay, with one of them doing something really stupid, and then they break up..but then they have to realyse, that they love eachother..and I’m even okay with it when this is on the end of the whole serie…but just make them happy at the end..togehter..thats all I want.!!!!!
