Who is Dan Humphrey in Gossip Girl?
Lonely Boy, taking notes · Brooklyn
Dan Humphrey (Lonely Boy, taking notes) is a character in Gossip Girl, part of Brooklyn. Dan Humphrey commutes from a Brooklyn loft into Manhattan privilege on a scholarship and a grudge: the outsider with the paperback in his coat, in love with Serena van der Woodsen since a single party years ago, taking the Upper East Side's measure in mental longhand. Lonely Boy's insider-outsider seat gives him the show's best vantage and its sharpest resentments — and the finale's question of who was watching everyone all along finds its answer disconcertingly close to his laptop.
