Gossip Girl’s Season 5 finale got mixed reviews from the TV show’s fans. Some hated Chuck’s reaction towards Blair. Some others pointed out that Serena is backsliding instead of growing up. Other fans liked how everything came together for an exciting series finale when the show comes back for its final season.

Manhattan’s elite may be on a break on television, but fans are actively looking for major scoop about the next season, which will also be the final season of the series.

So, what can the viewers expect from GG Season 6?

In an interview with Wetpaint, GG Executive Producer Stephanie Savage said The CW will announce on Thursday whether they have 10 or 11 episodes next season. Right now, the writers are working on a 10-episode final season. Here are some specifics that fans can expect from GG’s last episodes:

1. The writers are making a list of things they have not yet done on the show. Season 5 saw a musical sort of thing, so the next season will offer something different for at least one episode.

2. Since Elizabeth Hurley spiced up GG in many interesting ways producers are set to get guest stars that are at least as fascinating as Hurley.

3. The characters in the final act of the Season 5 finale will be major players next season. That could mean more trouble or schemes involving Jack Bass and the very infamous Georgina Sparks.

4. Lola Rhodes may not be coming back next season. The actress playing her part, Ella Rae Peck, signed up for a pilot at an NBC show.

5. Lily Rhodes, Bart Bass and Rufus Humphrey are going to face closing issues next season. Rufus has made it clear that he wanted to save the marriage. Lily turned him down. But it couldn’t be the end between them.

6. The core families will have a lot to go through in the final season. Chuck and his father definitely left a major issue hanging in the Season 5 finale.

7. Nate Archibald will pull a Sherlock Holmes to find out the identity of Gossip Girl. He may or may not succeed, depending on what GG bosses (including the decision-makers of the book series) would say.

8. Chuck Bass will either move forward with Blair Waldorf or self-sabotage next season. The finale’s last act serves as a compass for the writers next season.

9. Dan Humphrey has teamed up with Georgina Sparks, and it could mean that she will be in all episodes next season. Fun!

10. Serena Van Der Woodsen will be “in a pretty precarious emotional situation” when season 6 begins. Some clues: Think of Season 1 and how it all began.

WARNING: If you have yet to watch Monday’s season finale of Gossip Girl, avert your eyes now. Everyone else, you may proceed….

Broken hearts, sex tapes and a whole lot of texting — it must be finale time on Gossip Girl. But while some relationships came to an end in Monday’s Season 5 capper, an old one started to rekindle when Blair finally admitted that her heart belongs to Chuck. So will the couple get their happy ending? Are things really over with Dan? And will Serena spiral? Executive producer Stephanie Savage weighs in on all of those questions and previews the upcoming sixth and final season.

THE FINAL GAME PLAN | “Getting ready for Season 6, everybody rewatched the pilot,” says Savage. “We talked about what our favorite episodes were, some of our favorite dynamics. … We’re leaving it all on the floor. We really want [the last episodes] to count and to be really special.” Priority No. 1: Focusing on the core characters. “The gang that you saw in that final act [of the Season 5 finale will be] the main players when we come back.” And yes, that includes Georgina, who Dan summoned to help him eviscerate the Upper East Side after getting dumped by Blair and used by Serena. So just how nasty will his quest get? “When you call in Georgina Sparks, you’re not looking to [play nice],” hints Savage.

BLAIR’S HEART | The former princess may have chosen the Dark Knight, but Chuck— tired of putting her first and losing everything — was having none of it. Still, Blair showed up at a Parisan casino where Chuck was gambling to earn back his fortune. “It was Blair coming to declare that she was in it to win it with Chuck and leaving that [relationship's future] as the question of Season 6,” previews Savage. And for the Dair ‘shippers out there, we’re afraid we have bad news. “We crafted the last act of the episode to set us in a certain direction next year,” says Savage, all but confirming the death of Dair.

SERENA’S DOWNFALL | In a deliberate echo to the pilot, Serena took off on a train and retreated to her old, bad habits, using drugs and hooking up with strangers. “Feeling like she’s lost Blair, lost Dan, she’s all by herself again,” explains Savage. “It’s going to put her in a pretty precarious situation.” Meanwhile, that sex tape she made of herself and Dan may rear its ugly head again. “Well, if somebody had a sex tape on their cell phone, and they said they deleted it, but you never really saw that it was deleted…” the EP trails off. Yeah, we can do the math on that one.

NATE: YOU WIN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME | Nate will “be tracking down” that mysterious hooded figure who may or may not be Gossip Girl. But unraveling the indenity of the infamous blogger “is something that has larger implications to the franchise beyond just our series,” explains the EP. “That reveal requires conversations at the highest level.” While Nate may have gotten a major clue in the war against Gossip Girl, he won’t be so lucky in the romance department next season. Ella Rae Peck, who plays Lola, is starring in NBC’s new drama series Infamous, so “it seems like she’s not going to be available to do the show next year.” Poor Nate, will he ever find lasting love? “That’s something that’s a big part of his series arc, and something that we’re going to be exploring next year.”

Now that we know Gossip Girl has been renewed for one final, 11-episode season, it looks like the showrunners will finally have to make up their minds on just about every storyline. If you’ve seen EW’s exclusive clip from tonight’s finale, there are a few things you already know: Blair is doing damage control, she’s hell-bent on destroying Serena, and there’s something she doesn’t want Dan or Chuck to see. Just an average day in the Waldorf domain, right? Here’s what I would like to see happen before the long, steamy summer:

Gossip Girl wreaks havoc: One of the biggest moments of the season was the revelation that the devilish Georgina Sparks was the mastermind behind the salacious titular gossiper…or so we thought. In reality, Georgina was just keeping shop for the real blogger, before passing the reins onto Serena, who, in turn, used her newfound power for her own gain. But now that the original GG is back in the driver’s seat, having stolen back her computer from Serena last week, I’m itching to know how she will exact her revenge. We know that whatever she does is sending Blair into a tailspin, but I can only hope she brings her virtual iron fist down on Serena, revealing herself in the process.

Blair finally makes up her mind: I might be in the minority here, but I never have (and suspect I never will) be able think Blair and Dan’s identity crisis of a relationship was believable. Frankly, after seeing Dan’s hair post-shower last week, I’m surprised that Blair is still sticking around. It’s painstakingly obvious that she’s not jumping for joy at the idea of twirling pasta in front of the Colosseum with Lonely Boy all summer, but will our UES heroine still board that plane? Personally, I’m hoping Blair pushes Dan into the Trevi Fountain in favor of a scheming summer with Chuck.

Clean up that Ivy: Diana, Lola, and Ivy (the three women who infiltrated Manhattan this season) certainly stirred up enough trouble, but I think their time is up. From Ivy pathetically trying to get into the van der Woodsen’s good graces, to Diana pretending to be Chuck’s mom, to Lola’s indecisiveness about her family, I think it’s time to get rid of these hormone-filled ladies in favor of some male eye candy. As fun as it can be to see Blair and Serena challenged, there’s only one schemer who really makes them tick…

The return of Georgina! Admit it, things are just way more fun when this sharp, sassy player is around, and I’d love to watch her take one more aim at the throne tonight.

What do you hope to see on the finale?

Can we please get some good news about Chuck & Blair for the finale? Everyone is ready for them to finally reunite. #GossipGirl — @wrightst3
Well, I’ll tell you one thing: the odds of them reuniting are certainly better than things smoothing out between Blair and Serena. At least by the look of the clip from the finale I’ll be posting soon. Hint. Hint. Actually… that’s not a hint at all. It’s pretty much clear what I’m saying.
