Earlier this week, PopWrap interviewed “Gossip Girl” executive producer Stephanie Savage and asked about rumors that Michelle Trachtenberg would be returning as Georgina Sparks at the end of this, the current third season.

“That is correct. And I will tease that whenever Georgina comes back we like her to be transformed in some way. She’s never the same as when we left her and that will be the case this time when you find out where she’s been for these last couple of months,” Stephanie said during her spoiler filled chat.

Well, shooting on that episode took to the streets today — more specifically, in Grand Central Station (a pivotal location in the pilot) — and gave us our first look at a newly blonde Georgina!

Now, I’m sure a physical transformation wasn’t the only one Stephanie was alluding to, so where do you think G has been hiding out since Dan’s brutal rebuffing drove her out of town? Village of the Damned?
