Billy Baldwin could be playing Serena’s dad on Gossip Girl!
According to Entertainment Weekly, Billy Baldwin (or William Baldwin) has been tapped to play Serena and Eric’s estranged father Keith van der Woodsen.
So far, CW is tightlipped, but EW said the Dirty Sexy Money is booked to appear in at least three episodes and he will first appear on the show in April.
And bringing Mr. van der Woodsen back in the picture is not going to be good for one person especially — Rufus Humphrey (Matthew Settle), according to E! Online.
When (doesn’t it seem like forever?) we last saw our favorite blended Gossip Girl family, Rufus and Lily (Kelly Rutherford) weren’t doing too well anyway. Lily was freaking out over the missing letter from her ex while Rufus ended up with possession of it thanks to Sen. Tripp Vanderbilt’s scornful wife Maureen (Holly Fain).
And while I hate to see their “honeymoon” end so fast, it will make the show extra juicy if there’s a love triangle with Rufus, Lily and Keith … but I am rooting for Rufus. He doesn’t deserve this at all!
And how will Daddy van der Woodsen redeem himself in the eyes of his children?
What do you think of Billy Baldwin (who I remember the most as Brian McCaffrey in the 1991 movie Backdraft) as Serena’s father? Good or bad casting?
