One Disturbing Thing About Gossip Girl Main Characters Still Bothers Fans

Summary:

• All of the show's main characters had difficult lives that led to their decisions in the future.
• It is clear that Blair, Serena, Chuck, and Nate all had complicated relationships with their fathers.
• However, Serena and Chuck are the worst examples of how daddy issues affected their adult lives.

One of the most entertaining and exciting shows full of drama and thrills is the beloved first edition of Gossip Girl.

At the center of the story was the ensemble of several multi-layered characters – Nate, Blair, Serena, Chuck, Dan and others. Their lifestyles made it clear that they were as far from being good people as one could be.

Most of the excitement about the show came from all the lying, scheming, and other wrong things the characters did. However, it is clear that their extremely flawed parents had a bad influence on them.

If you analyze their relationships, especially with their fathers, you can see how they became the way they are.

Chuck

We start with Bart Bass and his parenting skills, which almost turned Chuck into a psychopath. Can you imagine how a child could grow up thinking that he was the reason his mother died?

It's obvious that he would end up extremely unhappy and would do anything to keep his distance from his father, a rich man who could change the world if he wanted to.

Serena

The second father who doesn't even deserve such a title is Serena's father.

Even though he wasn't around for most of her life, she desperately wanted to find him and hear some words of encouragement. Instead, he told her that she was not worthy of love.

Serena's daddy issues led her to making a lot of bad choices with men, most of whom were much older than her.

Blair

Blair’s situation was also bad. Can you imagine a little daddy’s girl suddenly losing her perfect father to a man he had an affair with?

That’s more than enough to ruin one’s life. However, the show did a good job of resolving Blair's conflicts with her father. So that she didn’t end up as wounded as Serena or Chuck.

Nate

Fans feel that Nate's father issues are not talked about enough. However, he may be the only one of them all whose relationship with his father didn't affect his life as badly as it could have. That’s a miracle, considering the fact that the man even ended up in jail. Instead of becoming useless, Nate managed to clear all the mess his dad made and had to grow up early.
