Gossip Girl famous bad boy Chuck Bass (acted by British actor Ed Westwick) has have his fair share of imitators, but none as apparent as the character of Jeremy Darling (acted by Seth Gabel) in Dirty Sexy Money!
.
This might be a lil backdated but since the second season of Dirty Sexy Money is not yet aired in Singapore nor its cable, this probably would come as news to the Gossip Girl local fans. Upon watching online the Season 2 episode 5 of the Dirty Sexy Money, The Keongomaniac recoils to his horror as he saw Jeremy Darling donning what seem as a similar scarf famously worn by Chuck Bass from the Gossip Girl fame during a gallery scene with Lisa George (image above). After a net search, it clearly shows that there was a fair amount of reaction from the American audience. Netizens are generally divided, but with one camp saying Jeremy can never live up to Chuck's popularity (or notoriety, well SPOILER ALERT despite sleeping with Lisa, Nick George's wife, on a couple of occasion in DSM season 2). .
We could see it positively, even though most will say that THE scarf belongs to Chuck Bass only. Both TV series deals with the same thematic approach (discussed here in blog entry A Bane To Be Rich?), though regionally Gossip Girl has a larger cult following. I guess allowing Jeremy Darling to appear with Chuck Bass's scarf shows that TV dramas have finally decided to be less pretentious when it comes to characters of similar traits, and indeed embraces them. Having them 'share' the signature scarf seals this deal. But it wouldn't be a signature anymore if two uses them right?
.
As Chuck would say, "Do not mock the scarf". But if he is ever to meet Jeremy, you and I know he would almost definitely declare...
.
"I'm Chuck Bass"
.
XOXO!
