The series revolves around a group of elite socalites and begins with the return of "it" girl Serena Van DerWoodsen (Blake Lively) and focuses on Serena and longtime friend and occasional rival Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) her boyfriend and golden boy Nate Archibald (Chase Crawford), his bestfriend and badboy Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) and outsider and occasional love interest to Serena, Dan Humprhey (Penn Badgley). For the first four seasons Dan's sister Jenny Humprhey(Taylor Momsen) and bestfriend Vanessa Abrahams (Jessica Szhor) also were series regular. Though as of the fifth season both left and Serena's cousin Charlie Rhodes (Kaylee DeFer) was added as a replacement.
Though early episodes of the series mostly revolved around Serena, Blair and Dan. With Chuck, Nate, Jenny and Venessa taking up secondary roles and often not appearing at all, later episodes focused around all the characters and instead of focusing on just Lively's character became more of an ensemble. With the main focus being on different characters each season and Serena taking more and more of a background role as the series progressed.
