'Gossip Girl' Michelle Trachtenberg Talks About Showing No 'Mercy'

Actress Michelle Trachtenberg stopped by to talk about her role as Georgina Sparks in the hit CW show Gossip Girl and her role as Chloe Payne in the new NBC series Mercy .

Season 3 of Gossip Girl finds the cast all grown up and living the college life. Even though high school is behind them, Serena (Blake Lively), Chuck (Ed Westwick), Blair (Leighton Meester), and the rest of the Upper East Siders still have their fair share of love, scandals and secrets that await them. Georgina stirs up trouble as she attends NYU with Blair, Dan (Penn Badgley) and Vanessa (Jessica Szohr). Trachtenberg's recurring role as Georgina began during the second season of Gossip Girl.

Mercy centers on Nurse Veronica Callahan (Taylor Schilling), who recently returned to Mercy Hospital from a tour in Iraq, and knows more about medicine than all of the residents combined. Together with fellow nurses Sonia (Jaime Lee Kirchner) and Chloe (Trachtenberg), she navigates the daily traumas and social landmines of life and love both inside the hospital and out in the real world.

Trachtenberg's breakout role came in the form of Dawn Summers in Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the show's final three seasons. Her other acting credits include the comedy Young Americans, where she co-stared alongside Topher Grace and Anna Faris, and 17 Again, where she co-starred with Zac Efron and Luke Perry.

Gossip Girl airs Mondays at 9pm on WPIX. For more information on the cast and show, visit www.cwtv.com. Mercy airs Wednesdays at 8pm on NBC. For more information, visit www.nbc.com/mercy.
