'Gossip Girl' scoop: Which one of Blair's former beaus is returning?
Spotted: A Royal Prince looking for Queen B on the Upper East Side.Sources tell Zap2it that Hugo Becker will be reprising his role as Prince Louis on "Gossip Girl."
Fans will remember Becker from the Paris episodes in the beginning of Season 4 as the Prince who wooed Blair (Leighton Meester) after they bonded over their love of art.
When we last saw him, Blair told him she couldn't stay in Paris and live in a fairy tale, but left him with one of her Roger Vivier heels, telling him, "You could always come find me." Seems like he's going to be cashing in that heel (which is worth a hell of a lot more than a glass slipper) and possibly giving Blair her real life fairy tale.
We don't know the circumstances that bring Louis to New York, but we do know he'll be appearing after the show's six-week hiatus. Could his return be the Dan and Blair cliffhanger set to happen in the Feb. 28 episode, "Empire Of The Son"?
While "Dair" and "Chair" fans may not be happy about the news, we do know of at least one person who is: Leighton Meester. "I always love what the writers do -- I know they'll do her justice. Like the storyline with Prince Louis," she tells PopWrap. "I really enjoyed that because I always think Blair should be with a Prince. Although that might just be me projecting for myself."
What do you think of Prince Louis' return? Does it mean Dan and Blair are over before they ever really began? And how will the Prince's return impact "Chair"? Share your thoughts in the comments.

I'm happy with it! Blair needs to move on from Chuck asap. And not with Dan.
I love Louis! Blair deserves to be treated well for a while after all the heart ache Chuck has put her through! To be honest, anything is better than Chuck at this point - lol!
Yayyy!!! Louis was soo sweet, I'm so happy! Blair deserve to be treated like a princess, finally!! And maybe Chuck will grow some pair of B**** and fight for her!! :))
HELL NO!!! I WANT "DAIR"!!! "DAIR" FOR LYF!!!!
So hilarious. Fickle fandom...this is why the writers should never, ever, ever write to appease online posters. Remember when all we ever heard was "I want Chuck and Blair...and ONLY Chuck and Blair...and if you don't give it to us, we'll stop watching the show!!"
Now the tune has suddenly changed, when we see how entertaining Blair and Dan are together.
I am soooooo happy that Louis is back. Blair has been through a lot and she deserves a Prince more than anyone. I love Blair and Louis together in the beginning of the season. I am glad he is back. He is so cute and funny. There is a lot of potential here. Of course I am a Chair Fan all the way (HATE, HATE, HATE DAIR)so I want Blaair and Chuck to reunite. But before they do Blair can have some fun with her prince and get back her other school :D
Blair and Nate!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BLAIR WITH PRINCE LOUIS SHE DESERVES HIM AND PLUS CHUCK NEEDS TO GET A TASTE OF HOW BLAIR FELT WHEN HE WAS DATING RIENA AND ALTHOUGH I LIKE THE DAN AND BLAIR CHUCK AND BLAIR THING I WOULD LOVE FOR BLAIR TO GET HER PRINCE CHARMING !!!!!!!!
Ok I am a total Dair fan! Yes, I know many will disagree with me but seriously, they are adorable together!!!
I'm not so sure if I want Louis to come back because I really want to see Dan and Blair together!!
Ok no matter what I disapprove of this ending dair before it starts business thyve spent like half the season developing it it can't end before it starts! :/
