It’s been three long(!) years since saying goodbye to our favorite Upper East Siders. And do I miss seeing the whole gang together.
Though it might still be too early to discuss a reunion movie (or not), I am always keeping tabs on the gang and what they’re up to.

There’s been lots of changes for the cast of Gossip Girl, namely Blake and Leighton are both wives now. And with gorgeous husbands (Hello, Ryan and Adam) to boot.
Blake is also basking in the glow of new motherhood while running her successful lifestyle site Preserve. And The Age of Adaline, her first feature film since her GG days, will hit theaters next month. But what’s next, darlings?!
After consulting with my crystal ball, I’m here with all of the answers and career moves to keep them in the limelight. Listen to me. XOXO
The Gossip Girl Cast: What Should They Do Next?
Blake Lively
The gorgeous new mom has always embraced her domestic side, which is why I’d love her to write a cookbook with her favorite recipes. She is basically our generation’s Martha Stewart. Keep growing that empire, Blake! Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty ImagesLeighton Meester
Leighton has had a few movie roles and a stint on Broadway (alongside James Franco!) since her GG days wrapped. No big blockbusters, but enough to pay her bills. Her heart, though, is really in her music and LM released an album titled Heartstrings last October. Darlings, I think she should head back to Great White Way in NYC for a leading role in a musical. Do I hear a Tony calling her name? Photo: Angela Weiss/Getty ImagesPenn Badgley
Lonely boy has never been one to love being famous—he’s into his craft and committing to roles. He had a two-episode arc in TV show The Slap earlier this year and has a movie slated for release later this year. Although he's keen on leaving TV behind, I’d love to see him continue in the drama genre with a movie role that requires a physical transformation, which could garner him some buzz next awards season.

Since GG, Chace has been busy with a one-episode guest appearance on Glee, a movie in 2014, and four films slated for 2015. Plus, he's starring in Boom, a pilot from ABC. However, I think he’d really shine in a sitcom with an ensemble cast or as the leading man in a love story. Nicholas Sparks, you got a role for Chace? Photo: Jamie McCarthy/Getty ImagesEd Westwick
My favorite Brit hasn’t taken a break post-GG. He starred in 2013’s Romeo & Juliet, has four movies slated for release this year, and is currently filming a TV movie (weird). Darling Ed, put your English roots to good use! Do more Shakespeare or other period pieces. Maybe even swing by Downton Abbey! Photo: Michael Buckner/Getty ImagesKelly Rutherford
With a string of guest roles on various hit TV shows and regular appearances at various NYC social events, KR doesn’t seem to be bored. She’s found her biggest success with dramatic TV, both on Gossip Girl and Melrose Place. Can I please see her showcase those acting chops with a recurring role on something like Once Upon a Time or Revenge? I'll settle for her just admitting that she's dating Matthew Settle aka Rufus IRL, as long as I get an invite to that wedding. Photo: Andrew H. Walker/Getty ImagesMatthew Settle
Oh Rufus, my favorite TV dad. Matthew has had a couple TV movie roles and starred in last year’s horror flick Ouija, but lambs, he’s better than that. Come on, Hollywood, cast Matthew and Kelly in another will-they-won’t-they TV show. Photo: Dave Kotinsky/Getty ImagesJessica Szohr
The girl from Brooklyn has the coolest group of BFFs IRL. She’s got Taylor Swift, Nina Dobrev, and Julianne Hough on speed-dial. These gals should partner up on-screen for a coming-of-age series or trilogy following a group of 20-something women trying to thrive and survive the quarter life. Photo: Frederick M.

Since leaving the show, Taylor has put all of her energy into music with her band The Pretty Reckless and, well, maintaining that intense smoky eye look. Her band is currently touring the country to promote the album Going to Hell. You just keep doing you, little Jenny! Photo: Bryan Steffy/Getty ImagesKristen Bell
With another hit TV show under her belt and a wonderful family at home, KB doesn’t need much career advice. And with news of a Frozen sequel coming our way, I’d only suggest she use that leverage for more passion projects, like the Veronica Mars movie.
