Trachtenberg "excited" by 'Gossip' return

Michelle Trachtenberg has confirmed that she is returning to Gossip Girl.

Speaking to MTV, the actress revealed that she was "so, so excited" to be reprising the role of scheming Georgina Sparks on The CW drama.

"I love Gossip Girl. They are so great to me there," she said. "I get to look freaking fantastic, if I do say so myself, and I get to be a nasty bitch, which is always fun. Why not?"

The former Buffy The Vampire Slayer star admitted that she had no idea what storyline her character would be involved in, joking: "They're very, very strict and don't tell us anything. Actors are not to be trusted."

When asked what she hoped for Georgina, she replied: "I think in order to have a fully dimensional character you have to show every facet of their personality, so nothing is out of the question.

"I'm evil. I think there's a reason why people are nasty. There's a reason why people are mean. So it would be nice to find out why Georgina is the way she is. But I have no idea. You guys will have to wait and find out."
