The CW is trying desperately to keep their new show, Gossip Girl alive. With the new season starting April 21, they have decided to shake things up a bit and have added a surprising twist to the already drama filled series.

Here are some clues to help predict the twist:

• The revelation significantly impacts the lives of at least three people.
• The aftershocks will be felt on both sides of the East River.
• Some viewers will be surprised by the twist, others not so much.
• In the Gossip Girl novels, Dan was known to be a bit of a switch hitter — which isn’t so much a clue as it is a fact. A misleading fact? Perhaps. Perhaps not.
