Who is Rebecca Sherman in the "Gossip Girl" Reboot?
*Spoilers for Gossip Girl below! *  The first episode of HBO Max's Gossip Girl is finally out for the world to see, and let's just say I've spent all weekend trying to piece together who Rebecca Sherman is. The reboot of the beloved CW series has already made a ton of references to the original show, so it's no surprise that showrunners would bring back a Constance-Billard alumna to stir the pot. Within the first 10 minutes of Gossip Girl, Rebecca is in the teachers' lounge at Constance with her colleagues, including English teacher Kate Keller. While they're all talking about the disrespect they've been receiving from privileged students, Kate mentions how the school also built great people like Nate Archibald. Gossip Girl HBO  Then, Rebecca chimes in, saying "It's not like Nate Archibald was such a saint when he started. When I was a student, we lived under constant threat. People like Nate were scared straight." After Kate asks if Rebecca went to Constance Billard, she confirms by saying she graduated in the class of 2009 along with original Upper East Siders like Blair, Serena, Chuck and Dan. Read on to see her connection to the original Gossip Girl and what she might be in for during the reboot. We already know that Rebecca works at Constance Billard and used to be a student there. But you may be wondering what her connection is with the original Gossip Girl series. While in the teacher's lounge, she described Gossip Girl as "an Orwellian Big Sister that kept tabs on the students it deemed important" and that people even thought she might have been the person behind the blog. This isn't the first time she's appeared in the GGCU (Gossip Girl Cinematic Universe). That small detail is true  in the second season finale of Gossip Girl, "The Goodbye Gossip Girl," Rebecca's name is briefly mentioned when people speculate she might have been GG.

Joshua Safran, the showrunner and creator of the Gossip Girl reboot, explained who Rebecca Sherman is in an interview with The Wrap. He was also a writer and executive producer on the original series. "It's such a very deep Easter egg, I assumed that nobody would know. Unfortunately, her full name would make you know her if you Googled it. But I couldn't get her full name in. I tried and I just couldn't say, 'Rebecca Sherman, you went to school here?'" Joshua told The Wrap. "But Rebecca Sherman is the name of the character at the end of Season 2 that they briefly think could be Gossip Girl before they think that it is Eric's boyfriend." Interesting. So the teacher who basically planted the idea of reviving GG was accused of actually being her in the past. Who knows  maybe Rebecca was in on it the entire time.
