We were heartbroken when it became clear that Privileged wasn't coming back for a new season -- how were we going to get our Megan/Will fix? And what are we going to do without snarky Sage and sweet Rose?

Well, we can't do anything about three of those folks, but we can tell you that Joanna Garcia, who played Megan, has a four-episode arc on Gossip Girl starting with the seaon premiere! According to The Hollywood Reporter, she'll play Bree Buckley, "an evil Miss America-type blonde." Aww... we love Joanna with red hair! But we'll get over the hair-color choice, because we're just thrilled to think of Joanna dueling with the Upper East Siders. She's always played such sweet characters, so we're looking forward to seeing her sharpen her claws!

More details: Bree will apparently by the product of a conservative Southern family, but she'll turn her back on their politics. What's more, the belle will apparently be setting her sights on one Mr. Archibald -- according to Michael Ausiello, we can expect her to have a fling with Nate!

What's your take on this bit of news? Will you Privileged fans tune in to watch Joanna on Gossip Girl? Will you Gossip Girl fans take well to Nate getting yet another love interest? Talk about it in the comments!

Privileged: At first blush, we feared this show would be a Gossip Girl knockoff -- look, it's based on a series of teen-girl books, and it's about the lives of the fabulously rich! -- but we soon realized it was so much more. We'll miss the show's mix of sweetness and sharpness, and we'll miss out weekly dose of Megan, Rose, Sage, Marco and Will. We held out hope that the show would make it onto the schedule -- after all, it seemed to hit the young-woman demographic that the CW prizes -- but alas, it was not to be.

The Game: Not only was this a funny/smart/sharp/touching/outrageous/always amusing half-hour of TV, it was also a fantastic set to visit. We loved Derwin, Mel, Malik, Tasha, Kelly and Jason almost as much as we loved Pooch, Tia, Hosea, Wendy Raquel, Brittany and Coby. As fantastic as they are on-screen, believe us, they're even sweeter and funnier in person. We'll miss the show, with it's mix of laugh-out-loud funny and jaw-dropping drama (often int he same scene!), but we'll miss hanging out with the cast even more. And from the comments we've been getting on our last video with Pooch and Hosea, we know you feel the same way.

Say goodbye to Reaper, Everybody Hates Chris and Lily after the jump.

The backdrop for last’s night drama was the planning and eventual nuptials of the recently engaged Marco and Keith. With Kathy Griffin making a guest appearance as their wedding planner, these two are the only couple who looks like they will be around for season two (if there is one). On a side note, we expected funnier, better timed lines written for this well-known, d-list guest star.

With one week left to the season finale of Privileged, we can’t help but ask ourselves if Will and Megan can make it. We were big proponents of the Will/Megan thing verses the Charlie/Megan after all, and to see these two fall short of being together for anything less than a full season is – well – heartbreaking.

And, while we where sad to see Michael Cassidy go (we mourn the loss of any hottie), we didn’t miss Charlie as much as we thought, especially not with the show adding Robert Buckley. Cassidy’s Charlie was more of sad, puppy dog character and we dig the harsh reality Buckley’s David has to offer. In fact, he already has made a large impact on Will and Megan’s relationship and we predict more coming during next week’s final.

A few weeks ago when Lily said Megan was too caught up in her world, she was dead on. We 100 percent agreed with Will when, during last night's episode, he said he shouldn't have to apologize for last week. Megan should have never let Will leave by himself and she absolutely could have talked to Charlie the next day or over the phone. When it comes down to it, she chose Charlie's friendship over her and Will's relationship. But what's sadder yet, is that she doesn't even realize it.

We've got a bounty of Privileged interviews for you today! Our own Jason C. caught up with Lucy Kate Hale and Ashley Newbrough on set. Find out what Lucy had to say about what Rose thinks of Megan, her "underground hottie" and a behind-the-scenes moment that still makes her laugh:

Then, see what Ashley has to say about why Sage's attitude toward Megan has changed, why Sage is so hung up on fame, and what makes Luis really stand out:

Plus, our friends at The CW sent us a couple of great interviews with the leading men on the show! Brian Hallisay talks about Will and Megan, his past career, and the words he never needs to hear again:

And finally, there's Rob Buckley, who's coming on as the new guy on the show. He's young, he's hot, he's available -- what are the odds that he'll be messing up the Will/Megan relationship? Rob won't say for sure -- but he does talk about the differences between Privileged and his last TV gig:

What do you think? Are you looking forward to the last new episodes? Were you surprised by anything Lucy and Ashley had to say? Are you betting on the Megan/Will relationship, or do you think Rob's arrival means that 'ship has sailed? Talk about it in the comments!

It all starts when Charlie meets with Lily for a hair cut. Megan and Mandy already know Charlie is off to Cali. Charlie offers Lily some very good advice and suggests she take the lead on making sure her and Megan’s dad pulls through Shelby ditching him. This turns out to be great and it kind of takes Megan aback when Lily says she’ll take care of it. She actually seemed grateful. Now if only Lily’s advice to Charlie was just as good.

She convinces him that there is no way he can start a new life unless he confesses his love for Megan to her. Ugh! It’s so obvious that Megan does not like him that way and at this point we all know his feelings are going to get hurt. But Lily hits the nail on the head when she tells him it’s not so much moving on as it is running away from his feelings.

So, of course, Lily turns to Will – the “one person who’s always been straightforward with her.” Then there was the kiss after he gives her the 411 on what happened with her mom while she was in jail. Really? A thank you kiss? Who does that?

Either way the night ends with Megan realizing she has to be a better sister and she apologizes for not being there in the past. Looking at and comparing the recent picture of Shelby Megan took on her cell phone, the two sisters really have a heart-felt moment at the beauty shop where Lily works. We love that we were left with the warm fuzzy feeling that things might actually get better between the two.

We never really did care for Megan’s mom, and last night she proved our point. To appear out of nowhere after abandoning your family and try to act the way she did was already bold and a little ignorant. Even bolder was having the guts to do it again, and one-up yourself by stealing in the process. Yep, that’s right. It looks like the Lily apple didn’t fall too far from the tree.

After last week’s call from Lily in jail, Megan rushes to be by her side only to find out her bail is $25,000. And let’s not forget that the only reason why she is in jail is because her scum of a husband left a whole backpack of drugs (not pot) in their hotel room while they were honeymooning. Let’s face it though: we all knew that this day would come, given Lily’s jaded past. Despite the fact Megan feels like they need to rescue Lily, their dad feels otherwise and convinces the family it is best that Lily learn her lesson and stay put.

But it wouldn’t be Privileged if we didn’t squeeze in some type of Smith family drama. Up this week, a heavy dose of mama-drama. That’s right, Shelby’s still sticking around, and while she may think things are all peachy-keen, Megan is torn apart by her mother’s presence.

She’s so upset by her mother, she finally gets the nerve to express her feelings and totally lashes out. We’re not surprised though. Who does Shelby think she is, anyway? She shows up after years of no contact with her children, and she thinks what? Megan will forgive her and she could be the mother she never was? Please. That woman’s got nerve.

Have we mentioned how much we love Michael Cassidy? Now he plays everyone's favorite nice guy on Privileged, but in past CW incarnations, he's been a dog-kicking bad-boy and a supervillain's unwitting creation. Our own Jason C. asks Michael about his time on Hidden Palms and Smallville, then digs into what we can expect from the Megan/Charlie relationship. Check it out!

What rocks about season one of Privileged:

* Sage. Okay, we admit it: The bad-girl attitude has grown on us. We like how she mixes things up, pushes Megan to her limits and goes for everything she wants without hesitation. What’s even better now is this fling with Luis. We can’t wait to see how Sage goes after her new crush.

* The chef with the sass and solid advice, Marco. The Limoges household may not realize it, but that roost is being ruled by the kitchen help. The recipe for a perfect show: More Marco!

* The relationships! It was great seeing what lead up to Megan and Will getting together, and we’re excited for the relationship to get serious. Charlie and Mandy are shacking up. Laurel reunited with an old flame. The girls are finding love interests. Even Lily got married! Looks like the last man standing is poor Marco - always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

We don’t think there is anything else that can go wrong in the wonderful world of Palm Beach on Privileged. Let us run down the list: issues with Lily – check. Argument with boyfriend – check. Even more family issues – double check.

Seriously, we don’t know what is worst; Megan’s estranged mother showing up out of nowhere, her dad insisting she forgive her mom or Megan practically throwing Will into a jealous fit.

Also, since when does it take someone so long to realize that they like a person – we're talking to you, Sage! Thank goodness Rose was there to guide Sage through the process or she might have never realized it. However, we were totally bummed that for all the drama getting to the revelation, we didn’t get to see Sage and Luis hook-up.

So, we are still left wondering whether or not they will ever get together, how it will happen and who will make the first move. Plus, what will Laurel think when she finds out that Sage is dating the help? The word fired comes to mind, and we think Marco might end up in some hot water over the entire thing.
