The CW’s Gossip Girl has put the spotlight on Blake Lively, who plays Serene van der Woodsen in the series, but the young actress is quick to point out the differences between her and the character that she plays.

“Serena was brought up very differently than I was brought up,” Lively said in an interview with the Associated Press. “Serena was given everything her whole life. … I grew up in a small little town in California — Burbank . I went to high school [and] what we would do on our nights off [was] go to a school fundraiser, go to a football game, where these people have masquerade balls or go lounge at The Palace Hotel and sip martinis.”

However, she did also recognize that she and Serena had some commonalities when it came to dealing with fame and popularity. In fact, she said that both of them try their best to be a “good person” despite the pressures of being in the spotlight.

“At the heart of it all, Serena really wants to be a good person — despite all odds, despite all the chaos that’s going on around her and all the other people in her life,” Blake Lively explained. “So I think that I strive to do the right thing and not fall into the norm [like] so many young people in Hollywood who — because they were raised differently — get caught up in some of the nonsense. And I really try to steer clear of that. So, you know, we’re like that in the same way.”

Add to that the fact that they “both giggle a lot” and look alike. Due to the recent success of the show, Lively felt an increase in the way people recognize her on the street, as now, people of all walks and ages seem to see her as the Serena from Gossip Girl.

“It’s pretty crazy. [I get recognized] not only [as] Serena van der Woodsen, but people know my own name,” Lively told the Associated Press. “[Everyone] from young girls, teenage girls, women in their 30s and 40s to, like, Guido-type guys, like frat boys. One day these, like, thuggish guys were, like, coming out, rolling out of their Escalade and they go — they’re like, ‘Man, that’s gossip girl!’ And they were, like, freaking out. It was so strange how many people would just get giddy over it. And it’s people that you would not expect at all.”

Creating characters that are believable takes time and discipline. Creating dynamically real individuals and not imposing your own thoughts and impressions upon them is not easy to do, and is often the difference between a novel or screenplay that sits in a closet and one that finds its way around town and into the hands of audiences. Spending your time building your characters before they enter the world of your story makes the process of writing an easier and more enjoyable ride, and creates a finished product that agents, publishers, producers and readers can truly be excited by.

You must first agree to operate from the understanding that the three-dimensionality of your characters is not created magically. Talent equals discipline multiplied by time and you must practice (daily) the art of developing your characters. As a development executive with LA Film Lab Entertainment (a literary development and production company), I have developed a framework to assist you in creating rich and complex characters. The complexity that you desire comes through 1) labeling their desire essences, 2) labeling their fear essences, 3) getting specific about their past, 4) labeling their behavior, 5) raising their stakes, 6) not meddling in their lives, and 7) letting them play. Asking provoking questions in line with these steps, answering them thoroughly, and then repeating the process, provides constant individual growth in your characters that mirrors life. Now let’s take each step in turn:

1. Label the Desire Essences of each of your main characters: The first key to deepening your work is finding the major motivators in the lives of your characters that drive their actions. We all have deep aspirations that drive our choices, our thoughts, our actions and reactions. These needs are what differentiate us from one another and we will refer to them as “Desire Essences.” Some examples of DESIRE ESSENCES are: the desire to be intellectually brilliant; the desire to be socially famous; the desire to hide from the world; the desire to belong to a group; the desire to be loved; the desire to party; the desire to die.

2. Label the Fear Essences of each of your main characters: What is at the root of each of your characters’ darker sides? For every desire they have they should also exhibit the antithetical fear of failing at that desire. These fears will battle their aspirations for control over their behavior. Labeling and understanding the darker sides of your characters is imperative to creating the dimensional and imperfect characters you are after. Some examples of FEAR ESSENCES are: the fear of being stupid; the fear of being ordinary; the fear of being socially exposed; the fear of being rejected by a group; the fear of being loathed; the fear of being boring; the fear of having to face life.

3. Get specific with your Backstory: Human behavior is made up of a string of moments and reactions to those moments. A character’s current behavior is a battle between fear and desire and their immediate choices are made based on very specific (yet unconscious) experiences from their past – experiences that leave imprints much like DNA. Though your characters should be unconscious of these past experiences that are influencing them, you the writer must create these in your preparation of their backstory be fully aware of them. Here is an example of what won’t benefit you vs. what will when getting specific with backstory:

Bad example of getting specific: Rachel is a pretty girl who thinks she is unattractive. She prefers to live in her books as opposed to being with friends or family. Her father has abused her sexually throughout her youth. She hates attention.

Better example of getting specific: On her graduation day, at a party her Mother is throwing for her, Rachel’s sexually abusive father shows up drunk and congratulates her, hugging her too closely, grabbing her rear end with both hands, and calling her pretty in front of a room full of her friends and family. She runs away humiliated and hides in her room, escaping into one of her fantasy books. That night she moves out to stay with a friend and doesn’t tell her friends where she is going. Two weeks later she finds out through another friend that her father died in a car accident. He had been drunk.

In the better example of getting specific, the reader can have a visceral reaction to the words. This is caused by the detail. The generality of the bad reaction is logical, but lifeless. In the better example it is easy to determine what the essences of our leading lady might be: desire to hide, maybe even desire to die, desire to live in her books, desire to be valued for her intellect instead of her body, fear of loneliness, fear of her appearance, fear of the opposite sex, fear of losing a loved one, fear of being abandoned.

4. Describe their Current Behavior: Take the essences and the specific examples you have now created and determine what kind of behavior your characters might exhibit as a result. Don’t limit yourself with these, but rather excite yourself with the possibilities.

Simple examples from our leading lady – a woman who: hides her body; avoids friends from her past; mistrusts anyone who comments favorably on her appearance; desires to control her education and her intellect; avoids alcohol.

5. Raise the stakes: Emotions are extreme. Play in the realm of this extreme when dealing with the fears and ambitions of your characters. These essences are all encompassing; meaning that we spend our lifetimes with them. Don’t cheat your characters by being afraid to raise the stakes as high as you can. Needing to find a precious stone to sell to an art dealer by midnight to raise the financing to save your character’s mother’s house before the bank takes it away from her tomorrow is exciting! Look back at your own life and think of how seriously you take your essences – when your essences are threatened will you fight to extremes to defend them, just as when they are fulfilled, do you enjoy some of your greatest moments in life? Play in the realm of the extreme. Raise the stakes. Your essences are life and death to you – let them be that way to your characters.

6. Don’t meddle: Of course you might be saying to yourself, “How do I not meddle – I’m the writer!” But a truthful story is going to grow from your willingness to let your characters make their own decisions based on how you have defined them (which after these exercises will be in great depth). As their parent, you have to let your children go; this is the point at which your story truly begins. DO NOT MEDDLE IN THEIR LIVES. Continually remind yourself – it’s not about you. You just serve the story. Let your characters make their own decisions. If you ever find yourself not knowing what decision they might make – question your homework and rework their essences, behaviors and stakes until their choice becomes obvious.

7. Let your characters play: Once you have developed several characters by labeling their essences, getting specific, defining their behavior, and raising the stakes, you are ready to begin to let them interact. It’s like the first day at a new school; ripe with possibility. When properly developed, there is no way to predict how your characters will behave in any given situation, but they are so full of life and their own agendas that they are ready to interact with other characters who have been developed to the same level. If you have done the work to get to this place – this is where your characters will begin to write themselves.

Follow these steps to create the richer characters you want to be writing.

Find the Essences:

To find the essences of your characters, you have to look to their history and their genetics. Just like real people, your characters’ current behavior is defined by their DNA combined with experiences you create in their past. We all have the basic fears and ambitions of survival, shelter, and food, so when working on these essences focus on the ones that really drive each character. Consider ethnicity, religious beliefs, and major life events. Address sex, drugs, music, parents, siblings, education, appearance and intelligence for sure.

Start by writing out twenty DESIRE ESSENCES that feel right for each main character. Then determine one polar opposite of each DESIRE to create your twenty FEAR ESSENCES. Go back and toss the ones that you now feel less attached to. Repeat and refine the process until you have at least ten of each for each character that really excite you.

Get specific about Backstory:

Get specific about how your character’s essences have come to be. Create definitive moments in your characters’ lives that detail when these fears and desires were initiated. Come up with five supporting examples of moments in their lives when each of these essences was tested and eventually vindicated in the name of the fear or in the name of the desire. Failure vindicates the fear and success vindicates the desire. Write at least one half page of text supporting each -Yes that will give you a total of twenty-five pages of essence work. Do the work.

10 Essences (a desire and a fear for each) x 5 samples for each = 50 descriptions (each a half page)

Label the Current Behavior:

Using their essences and their specific past, come up with ten sample behaviors for each character. Simple example: a character who has a desire to hide and a fear of being publicly humiliated, has a specific past incident of continually having their pants pulled down in public by a sibling. The current behavior – they might always wear a belt, or might always look behind themselves in a very specific attempt to never be humiliated again.

Raise the stakes:

After looking over your newly created examples, it should be easy to determine some issues that might be going on in their lives that would increase or decrease their stress. A decrease in stress generally excites people to take greater chances, while an increase in stress tends to shorten people’s fuses.

List five possible increases or decreases in your characters stress level.

Don’t meddle and let them play:

Now put two of your fully developed characters into the same room. Implement two or three increases in stress to one character and two or three decreases in stress to the other character and let them bounce off of one another. Go into this exercise with no preconceived notions of what might happen. If you have done your homework, they should affect one another.*

*If you need a jumpstart – add an element that one needs from the other and give the other a strong reason for not wanting to provide what that character needs. Could be tangible or emotional.

Gossip Girl may be every parent’s nightmare because of too much information it leaks about the reality of American teenage circuit, but its high ratings and wide range of viewers cannot deny its influence on the youth all over the globe.

Its ensemble cast of beautiful and upcoming stars including Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Taylor Momsen, Chace Crawford, Kelly Rutherford, Connor Paolo and Florencia Lozano, has really become part of today’s pop culture, even rivaling the popularity of the original Beverly Hills 90210 in the early 90s. Ask high school kids in your block about Gossip Girl quiz and ten to one that those pesky teens would be able to get every question right. That’s how the show has become like a virus infecting not only the teen market, but even the twenty something audience who are still nursing teenage angst. Gossip Girl is a plague spreading by each episode it airs on TV.

To those who haven’t seen an episode or two of the series, let me give you what the phenomenon called Gossip Girl is all about. On the other hand, to those who are avid and rabid fans of the teen series let me give you a Gossip Girl quiz to rave about.

“You’re nobody until you’re talked about.”

The story is narrated through the eyes of an unseen and omniscient character, Gossip Girl who maintains a popular commentary blog that contains all the juicy details of what’s happening to the most ‘populence’ and talked-about members of the elite New York Upper East Side Scene. On top of whom are Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf (portrayed by Blake Lively and Leighton Meester respectively). Blair, the Queen Bee, has a strained relationship her best friend, Serena, the former It girl, who moved out of Manhattan due to suspicious reasons and self-imposed exile.

The relationship of the two vixens was further damaged by the fact that Blair’s boyfriend, Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford) has feelings for Serena. In the course of the story, it appears that Serena slept with Nate which became the reason for her sudden exodus from the elite community.

Being trapped in his relationship with Blair, being constantly manipulated by his family, and not being able to be with the woman he loves, Nate grew up with much angst against the society he lives in. Nate’s hatred is to be compounded by his childhood friend’s, Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick), influence. Chuck is a manipulative and morally corrupt spoiled rich kid who would not bat an eyelash about abusing others to satisfy his own needs. Despite his nature, he has a soft spot for his best friend, Nate, and Blair. Later in the season, Chuck would realize that he has feelings for Blair.

When Serena comes back from her self-imposed exile, she finds herself an outcast in the privileged society she used to rule. Instead of welcoming arms from friends, she received dagger looks of betrayal from people who were once her allies. In the midst of teenage rivalry, she soon finds a friend in Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley), son of a former rock star turned gallery owner, Rufus Humphrey (Matthew Settle). Dan and his younger sister Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen) face an enormous challenge to fit in to their new elite environment. To make matters more complicated in the Upper East Side of New York, Rufus once had an affair with Serena’s mother, socialite Lily van der Woodsen (Kelly Rutherford), who was once a groupie.

As actress Eva Longoria prepares for her upcoming marriage to NBA star player Tony Parker, one can only hope that she doesn’t turn out to be like her character on the popular television series, Desperate Housewives. Since getting engaged, Longoria has expressed her extreme happiness about the present and the future.

Part of the pre-wedding tradition is the bridal shower, an intimate and social event that serves as the counterpart and (hopefully the foil) of what has come to be called “The Bachelor’s Party.” The bridal shower is usually thrown by the bride-to-be’s friends and family, which was, of course, the case with Longoria’s, only the difference is that her friends are also her co-stars in the Desperate Housewives series, making the day even more elaborate and spectacular.

The special event was held in the house of Felicity Huffman, who plays working mother Lynette Scavo on the show, and featured a delectable and healthy salad bar along with a desert selection made up of various chocolate concoctions. Not absent, of course, was the seemingly endless outpouring of presents, which mostly can be categorized as home décor.

Also present at the bridal at the outdoor affair were other Desperate Housewives celebrities, namely Teri Hatcher (whose character on the show, Susan Mayer, hosted a bridal shower for her neighbor Edie Brit, played by Nicolette Sheridan), Brenda Strong and Marcia Cross.

Before Longoria, who portrays the sultry housewife Gabrielle Solis, and Parker announced their engagement last year, rumors had circulated that the celebrity couple had broken up due to the pressures of their hectic careers. Nevertheless, they managed to break through all the difficulties and probably came to the realization they really couldn’t picture themselves with anyone else. The couple has planned to hold their wedding in the romantic city of Paris, and for those who intend to crash the special occasion, the date is easy to remember. Just think of three “7s” and you’re good to go.

Part Two: Creating the Past and Shaping the Present

The quality of your characters will form the foundation you desire for a strong story. In this four-part series, we’re looking at ways to develop three-dimensional, dynamic, story driving characters. Using the following seven-step framework, you can develop rich, complex, and multi-dimensional individuals:

1) Label their desire essences

2) Label their fear essences

3) Get specific about their past

4) Label their behavior

5) Raise their stakes

6) Don’t meddle in their lives

7) Let them play

In the previous article, we looked at the first two steps in this process: 1. Label their desire essences and 2. Label their fear essences.

In this installment, we’ll explore your characters’ backstories – where they came from – and then determine how their histories shape their behaviors. As we continue to the next two steps, you’ll take a great leap in crafting your characters into engaging parts of your story.

3. Get specific with your backstory

Human behavior is made up of a string of moments and the reactions to those moments. A character’s present is carved out by her past. Current behavior is a battle between fear and desire, and your character’s immediate choices are based on very specific (yet unconscious) experiences from her past
