Hilary Duff to be on “Gossip Girl”
July 1, 2009 by Arieanna
Hilary Duff will be appearing in a multi-episode guest arc on CW’s hit Gossip Girl when it begins Season 3 this Fall. Hilary Duff’s first appearance on the series will be in the fourth episode, slated to air on October 5, 2009.
Hilary Duff in “Ghost Whisperer” and “Law & Order: SVU”
Hilary Duff, who had strongly-promoted guest spots this year on Ghost Whisperer and on Law & Order: SVU, will take on the character of Olivia Burke on Gossip Girl, a movie star who enrols at NYU in order to have a ‘traditional college experience.’ According to Ausiello, Hilary Duff will room with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr), to which Ausiello quips: “so it’s safe to say she’ll be majoring in Drama!”
E! reports that Hilary’s character, Olivia, has more ‘normal’ dreams outside of her college experience. She also wants to date a ’simple, nonfamous guy’. That guy… Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley)! Apparenly, Dan will become interested in Olivia, though he has no idea she’s famous. Things could get serious for the couple!
Hilary Duff had a holding deal with NBC to develop a new series. One of the shows Hilary was considering was Barely Legal, a comedy series. However, Hilary never announced which series she was interested in developing, so likely a decision was not made in time for the 2009 pilot season. It’s unclear if Hilary is still planning to develop a series for NBC for 2010.
What do you think about Hilary Duff joining Gossip Girl?

Must say I am not a big fan of the show though I even see this as such a big opportunity for Hilary
Woohoo :] Guess I will start watching it now haha.
We should help Hilary’s carrer. So i did it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPL5Dk07VwU
I think it sounds great and it will be a great role for her. As far as TV goes, Gossip Girl is as popular as it gets. I loved her performances on the other shows, too.
If she’s actually going to star in Barely Legal then I hope she can fit her movies and music into her schedule, as well as her life. TV series are a steady employment, but I’d still want to hear her music and watch her movies.
Gossip Girl is my favorite tv series, and I’ve such a HUGE fan of Hilary! I really hope this works out, because not only is she going to get SO much publicity and spotlight (you’ve got to admit, GG is PRETTY popular), it’s part of the more sophisticated and mature look she’s going for. I really look forward to season 3 now. I just hope she gets a permanent role… though I think that might be a little too much to ask for.
I really can’t believe this is happening! I’ve always imagined her being on GG, but I never thought it would happen!! Go Hilary!
And Barely Legal, that sounds awesome too! Amazing comeback Hil!
OMG!
That is amazing news
I love GG! It’s so popular here in Europe 
I just finished season 2, can’t wait to see Hil in season 3
You know what’s funny about this, poeple saying she’ll get publicity, exposure and etc. but Hilary doesnt give a crap about that stuff.
omg!!!! Gossip girl rockssss! n so does hilary duff! the two of em together is gonna be explosive!!!!! wonder how serious it will get with her and dan… n wat kinda name is OLIVIA BURKE?!
This is brilliant.. I want to see hilary duff turn evil. Because after that.. Goodbye sweet and innocent hello professional actor.
