Krysten Ritter

Krysten Ritter will play Carol Rhodes in the spin-off, which will debut on May 11th during a flashback sequence in the second-to-last episode of Gossip Girl this season. Carol Rhodes is the older sister of Lily (who we know as Serena’s mom Lily van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl); Carol takes in her younger sister when she moves out of her family home.

Carol Rhodes is the “outcast” sister who lives in LA. The Rhodes family is very wealthy and lives a posh lifestyle - something Carol and now Lily have shunned. Lily, still a teen, will have to shift gears from private school life to that of a public school girl. So far we don’t know any of other actors or the title of the new Gossip Girl spin-off.

Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls alum Krysten Ritter has been tapped to play Lily's troubled older sister, Carol, in the offshoot, which chronicles the teen years of Kelly Rutherford's alter ego.Described as sweet but a bit of a disaster, Carol is an actress who's constantly making bad decisions in life and work. Lily ends up moving in with Carol after a falling out with mom and dad.
