This 'You' & 'Gossip Girl' Connection Is Surprisingly Disturbing
Briefly

Penn Badgley, during a You set tour, revealed unsettling ties between his character, Joe Goldberg, and Dan Humphrey from Gossip Girl. Notably, Badgley showcased sets where both shows filmed, with Gossip Girl's locations later serving as stages for Joe's sinister actions. The infamous cage where Joe held victims was built in a soundstage that originally depicted Blair Waldorf's glamorous home. Additionally, Joe's bookstore set was once Dan's family loft, emphasizing the eerie transformation of beloved places into scenes of horror.
It turns out that Badgley had some history with them. 'A little bit of an interesting note: This is where we shot Gossip Girl,' he revealed.
The connection means memorable Gossip Girl locations were later used as the backdrop to some of Joe Goldberg's most heinous crimes.
'The stage with the bookstore was where the Humphrey loft was... So this place is extremely familiar to me.'
In a way, Lonely Boy grew up, moved into his childhood home, and started caging and killing people in the Waldorf's old apartment.
