Gossip Girl producers have reportedly held a meeting in a move to bring the series 'back on track'.

A source said that the show's creative powers have hatched a massive storyline which will come into play later this season and 'blow viewers away'.

The insider told E! Online: "The producers had sort of a come-to-Jesus meeting where they realised the show was off track and decided to set it right. They're bringing back the OMG.

"There's a huge storyline later this season that is going to blow you away. And it involves Chuck (Ed Westwick), Jack Bass (Desmond Harrington), and Chuck's mother."

The father of Serena (Blake Lively) is also due to make an appearance but is yet to be cast, and Olivia (Hilary Duff) will apparently be absent from the programme, leaving room for a romantic storyline involving Dan (Penn Badgley) and Vanessa (Jessica Szohr).
