TV: New Character on "Gossip Girl"

This afternoon I had the pleasure of reading a Popwatch post that alluded to the possible identity of THE gossip girl voiced by Kristen Bell. Alas, the name that I saw wasn't of a female, but that of Eric van der Woodsen. Hmmm.
THEN! I had the even greater pleasure of learning that--depsite the fact that production has halted on set due to a lack of new scripts to film--they've cast Eliska Sursova as...wait for it...Chuck's love interest! Now I know what you're thinking. Are they going to make him a softie? Give him a Dan-Nate redeeming side after he got his heart shredded by the self-centered Blair? But by the looks of his new lady, me thinks there's no reason to assume she's going to be a saint. Heck, if I could have it my way I'd make her character steal Lil J's new Queen B crown before Blair claws her way back up to the top. Not only would it throw Blair's plans off, but it might unite her and Lil J on a leveled plane where they could actually be friends. Naturally, this is wishful thinking. But I see it as the only way that Chuck won't start using non-perverted pet names or sending a dozen roses "just because" or writing poetry or...god forbid, spending an entire 24hrs not trying to bed his current female obsession.
As for the identity of this up-and-coming actress Eliska: she's a Hispanic model raised in NYC who was recently accepted into Brown University. And if her character is as compelling as I hope, it will be her breakout performance.
