Hilary Duff will be appearing in a multi-episode guest arc on CW’s hit Gossip Girl when it begins Season 3 this Fall. Hilary Duff’s first appearance on the series will be in the fourth episode, slated to air on October 5, 2009.


Hilary Duff in “Ghost Whisperer” and “Law & Order: SVU”
Hilary Duff, who had strongly-promoted guest spots this year on Ghost Whisperer and on Law & Order: SVU, will take on the character of Olivia Burke on Gossip Girl, a movie star who enrols at NYU in order to have a ‘traditional college experience.’ According to Ausiello, Hilary Duff will room with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr), to which Ausiello quips: “so it’s safe to say she’ll be majoring in Drama!”
E! reports that Hilary’s character, Olivia, has more ‘normal’ dreams outside of her college experience. She also wants to date a ‘simple, nonfamous guy’. That guy… Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley)! Apparenly, Dan will become interested in Olivia, though he has no idea she’s famous. Things could get serious for the couple!
Hilary Duff had a holding deal with NBC to develop a new series. One of the shows Hilary was considering was Barely Legal, a comedy series. However, Hilary never announced which series she was interested in developing, so likely a decision was not made in time for the 2009 pilot season. It’s unclear if Hilary is still planning to develop a series for NBC for 2010.
