Gossip Girl – Clemence Poesy is ‘Eva’

This is update to some Gossip Girl news we reported over the weekend that brought you the word that French actress Clemence Poesy would be joining the cast next season. At the time we know only that she was in, and it seemed like a fit due to the setting on the initial episodes of Season 4 being set in Paris. EW now has some details, including Poesy’s name, “Eva’”, and a description which points to her playing a role in Chuck’s (Ed Westwick) life:

…warm-hearted bombshell who joins Chuck in Paris — much to the surprise of Blair, who has been spending the summer there with Serena.

Gossip Girl returns to the CW this fall, reportedly minus Taylor Momsen initially or at least for a few episodes.
