According to TV Guide, a couple of interesting Gossip Girl casting moves have been made this week: Aaron Tveit and Holley Fain have been cast as Nate's very wealthy cousin Tripp Vanderbilt (nice name, chief!) and his fiancée, Maureen.
In the last post we read about Nate's cousin, he was named Kipp and he was married. Now he's Tripp and engaged. Pretty close. He's still said to be wealthy, good-looking and politically-minded, though - no change of plans there!
Tveit appeared in the Broadway productions of Wicked and Hairspray and the film Ghost Town. Fain recently appeared on episodes of Lipstick Jungle and Law & Order: CI.
The posh pair will appear in two upcoming episodes, in which Nate Archibald - who we have not seen too much of lately - reconciles with his mother's powerful family.

E - that spoiler about Dan was revealed to us by fake proteinshake who basically revealed a bunch of marlarky...I wouldn't trust what she said.
I actually think the guy's pretty good looking.
