You may have heard -- a pivotal Gossip Girl character will soon be laid to rest, setting off a series of aftershocks that will reverberate well into next year. By using both Met-step chatter and common sense, I narrowed the field of candidates to the following five characters -- one of whom, a source confirms -- is the victim.
Vanessa (Jessica Szohr)
Why She'll Die: As much as I adore Szohr, let's face it, her alter ego is easily the most expendable of Girl's core clique. As a bonus, eliminating Vanessa would get Gossip Girl author Cecily von Ziegesar off producers' backs.
Why She Won't: Who'd steam everyone's lattes?
Bart (Robert John Burke)
Why He'll Die: His death would be a massive story generator: Not only would it pit Lily and Chuck against each other in a battle over the millionaire's estate, but it would add a new layer of angst to Ed Westwick's brooding scion.
Why He Won't: Come on -- killing the old guy? Way too obvious.
Nate (Chace Crawford)
Why He'll Die: Rumor has it that Crawford recently made some noise about wanting a fatter paycheck. Killing off his character would nip a potential salary dispute in the bud.
Why He Won't: He's the prettiest one on the show, for chrissakes!
Rufus (Matthew Settle)
Why He'll Die: It would rid the world of Lincoln Hawk and Dan would be forced to grow a pair.
Why He Won't: His unrequited romance with Lily is where Gossip's true heart lies.
Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg)
Why She'll Die: Everyone loves a good, old-fashioned murder mystery.
Why She Won't: For starters, she's not currently on the show. Plus, producers would be foolish to permanently wipe out the Alexis to Serena's Krystle.

you forgot the captain, that's where my bet is
altho i really wish it was venessa, hate her!
i hope it's Bart
reasons:
Vanessa-i just think he is great.
Nate-you're right. he is the pretty one. And I think they need him. Also they have all this drama with his money etc. I am sure they would take him to college where everyone hates him
Rufus-NO! You can't kill of their dad. And the love cycle with him and Lily is to interesting.
Georgina-She isn't even in it at the moment...but i'd like to think she will make a comeback to shake things up.
Although i am sure it would be an interesting 'who done it?'
As you said, if Bart dies there would be the fight over the money and i am sure there will be a few scandals.
it cant be rufus or nate...
but i really hope its robart
I hope its not Rufus or Nate...
But the rest can die
I think it's the Captain, it just makes sense.
i hope its bart so rufus and lily can get back to there love story.
but the captain works too.
as long as its not vanessa, she to awesome, rufus, or nate, hes to hot.
