Psych Gossip Girl Cast – Getting to Know Chuck Bass

Hit, Hot and Loaded — Charles “Chuck” Bartholomew Bass of the most successful teen show to date, Gossip Girl, is gaining a lot of attention from fans around the world. With his undeniable good looks and charisma, this fictional character is brought to life by the enthusiasm of millions of fans around the world. This is very evident in the way Gossip Girl fan sites revere Chuck Bass and other Gossip Girl characters, turning them into living, breathing, walking icons of primetime television.

Beneath the bad boy appeal

He is a womanizer, morally bankrupt and manipulative. However, Chuck Bass is one of the Gossip Girl characters we love to hate. Some of his devious manipulation tactics include blackmailing Serena about her self-imposed exile, attempting to rape young Jenny Humphrey, and constantly taunting Dan Humphrey, her mortal enemy. But then again, his scheming ways of getting what he wants have a strange appeal like a forbidden fruit we’re told not to eat. He has the charisma of a guy your parents wouldn’t want to meet or even want to be seen with you. To put it forcefully, Chuck is every parent’s nightmare in person.

Behind his attractive eyes and elegant good looks hides a troubled man who has spent most of his early years drinking and having premarital sex. The son of a wealthy businessman, Chuck enjoys a life of luxury that some of us can only experience in our dreams. Night after night of hanging out with the coolest crowd at his most expensive places opened his youthful eyes to the problems of his generation. In the mix of parties and drinks, a constant struggle with self-destruction and the need to be on the right path overtakes him.

However, when the parties are over and all the alcohol runs out, Chuck is faced with the searing pain of being a failure in his father’s eyes. His mother died giving birth to him, leaving him deprived of affection with his father. When fear and loneliness engulf him, he turns to the remedy best known to him: alcohol, women, and his best friend Nate. Despite being known as the resident bad boy in his circle, Chuck shows the softer side of him when he meets Nate and, soon enough, Nate’s girlfriend Blair.

Behind the Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf affair

Blair and Chuck have so much in common. Both rich, beautiful and manipulative, both teenagers find themselves allied in so many conquests to get what they want without flinching about the consequences. Not long after, Chuck fell in love with the one woman he refused to take because she was the main attraction of his best friend. However, a night of passion in the back of Chuck’s limo that followed Blair’s impulsive breakup with Nate made things more complicated for the two troubled souls as they begin a secret relationship. Chuck falls for the first time in his life with him, jeopardizing the friendship with Nate that he tried to cultivate his entire life.

Falling in love with her was the hardest for him. The same goes for Blair, who was still confused at the time if she still loved Nate or was just falling for Chuck for all the wrong reasons.

Nate and Blair eventually ended their relationship giving Chuck the chance to pursue his love. But considering their wild nature, an ordinary relationship is not enough for both of them. Thus, Blair and Chuck started playing mind games with each other, leaving their hearts confused about the real state of their relationship. The fact that they both liked the game complicated things. They found themselves in each other’s arms as a way to show who would win the game that only the two of them could play. Soon after, a cat and mouse chase to be the first to say I love you engulfed the two. In between the chase, Chuck found himself paralyzed by his feelings for Blair. He knew it: Blair is the only woman he could love and give himself to again. The bad boy fell in love with the one woman he could never have.

Unearthing Chuck’s Nature

Chuck Bass is one of the Gossip Girl characters that reflects the moral degeneracy of today’s teenagers. Like most youngsters, Chuck loves to experiment no matter how risky the endeavor may be. At the end of the conquest, when he is bruised and wounded, he gets up and continues to carry with him the scars left by the mistakes he has made. Unfortunately, the scars and bruises from his risky adventure with sex and alcohol haven’t really changed him. In the course of developing him as a character, the one defining factor that made him introspective about who he is beneath the bad boy facade is the one girl who could break and restore his heart: Blair Waldorf.
