Nevertheless, i read that "Good Morning Upper East Side" Pricless... It already has started with the Mean Girls but wasnt so hilarious like this GG high school and social site "meaning" in three hold meaning! :))

The Bass
Chuck Bass:
Chuck is the one of the main characgter, serving as the show's antihero. Noted for financial ambition and personal style.Got his name from his signature chuckle in a bass tone (LOL)
2:
Lilly Bass Humphrey-Kelly Rutherford
The multiple-divorced, ex ballerina and socialite mother of Serena and Eric van der Woodsen,Lillian has a colored history as a former groupie of Dan and Jenny's father, Rufus, that she would rather not acknowledge. Her previous marriage before Rufus was to Bart Bass. Despire her constant concern for appearances and status in high society, it can be assumed that she live as indulgently as Serena during her wild child years. Her similarity to Serena can especially be seen when she cries and is unable to make any decisiopns,botj of which are behaviors commonly seen in Serena. It is revealed she was also institutionalized at 19 much like her son Eric.It was later revealed that it wasnt because of a suicide attempt..buuut because she was pregnant with Rufus's child. Not bad too!
What a wonderful, lovesick ditz her character turned out to be! Karen has no trouble in showing her affection for Nick, even in front of her soon-to-be-husband. I had only seen Natalie Zea as Gwen #2 in Passions before this, and she's definitely being put to better use here. Karen might be carrying a torch for Nick, but that hasn't stopped her from getting married several times. She's now preparing for marriage number four to Freddy, a dense professional golfer more interested in Karen's money than her heart. When he confess that he loves her, Karen during the wedding ceremony she whispered to Nick whit fake smile that she wants to divorce right here and right now... And the scandal about her sex tape... was it a question that "which Darling did that?" :D Karen has an own bank account specially for the sex tape scandal! :D
Nick and Karen were romantically involved at one point in time when they were younger (she lost her virginity to him). Nick proposed to Karen while holidaying in Italy when they were both 19. They never ended up getting married, which both Nick & Karen both regret, because the latter always thought she would end up his wife. She now resents the fact that it didn't turn out that way. All along, she knows that even when she tries to forget about the past and move on, she knows that she loves Nick, and always will do. She later begins a relationship with Simon Elder so she can spy for her father, but ends up forming slight feelings for him, alienating her from the rest of her family. Her relationship with Simon ends when he trades her for a business deal with Tripp on their wedding day. She later finds out she is pregnant with Simon's baby, but loses it in a miscarriage when she falls down the stairs at the Darling house. Karen starts a long overdue relationship with Nick late in Season 2. They talk openly about having a real future together, that both of them always wanted. They discuss having children, and the possibly of someday getting married.
When he's not hung over or partying at Ethan Hawke's house, Jeremy might be the most sympathetic Darling. He cares a great deal about his father's opinion, and views Nick as the older brother he never had (except for those two other guys). At first I thought Jeremy was just going to be a male version of Juliet, but he surprised me with some depth and understanding (but not too much). And hey, anyone who buys his parents a Breeders' Cup-winning horse for their anniversary is OK by me.:))))))
Jeremy Darling, the charming, rebellious and exceedingly idiosyncratic son of the privileged and powerful Darling family.Jeremy Darling (along with Juliet) is half of the set of fraternal twins that make up the youngest members of Darling family. Addicted to cocaine, he is frequently seen hung over, chain-smoking and pleading with Nick George to get him out of a jam. Completely oblivious to other people's suffering and unable to imagine a life worse than his, Jeremy often fears that he is the family disappointment and that his father abhors him. He has been involved with several who have complicated relationships with his family.He gets involved with Nola Lyons, who, under Simon Elder's instructions, is prosecuting Letitia Darling. He pretends to have amnesia in order to hide from Simon Elder to help Nola save her brother.

Chuck Bass:
Chuck is the one of the main characgter, serving as the show's antihero. Noted for financial ambition and personal style.Got his name from his signature chuckle in a bass tone (LOL)
Chuch s role is initially that of an antagonist to the main character.Chuck resides w his fam at the Plaza Hotel on the UES and attends school at the Riverside Prep Sch.. Chuck only interest are SEX(y) and MONEY..
Chuck is retooled as a more central character, an antiheroic heterosexual playboy whose on-off relationship with Blair serves as one of the show's major ongoing storylines. Chuck is the resident "bad boy" of the Upper East Side, and like Blair is both vengeful and manipulative; the two often scheme elaborate plans together. As the show progresses, Chuck develops a softer side in later seasons, specifically towards Lily, Eric and Serena, his adoptive mother, brother and sister, Nate, his lifelong best friend, and Blair, his one true love.

Serena van der Woodsen-Blake Lively
The GG introduces Serena as the wealthy daughter of divorced parents, with a younger brother named Eric She grew up with her best friend Blair Waldorf and Blair's longtime boyfriend Nate Archibald.

During her parents' anniversary party, she attempted suicide by prescription drug overdose after she learned that her father has funded all of her plays. Luckily for Juliet, she couldn't keep most of the pills down. She's a pretty one-dimensional character right now, but that doesn't mean you can't have a good laugh or two at her expense. When she fights with her frienemy well that s hard and not a high school match... of course she s using the TV to comment her target! SCORE! Juliet: "I want to be a human being." Letitia: "And someday you'll be one."
