Totally agree with Top 1, her laugh and embarrassment, when he called her sexy, is the most beautiful scene of the whole Gossip Girl and I cannot stop watching it.
I don't give a crap what anyone says about these two, I've always loved them together! Derena is my OTP in Gossip Girl, and my favourite couple, so glad they ended up together
My favorite danrena moment, even though it was super sad, was the second time they broke up, when they were in the elevator "Serena.. I still.." "I know.. me too.." :,(
Season 4 Dan and Serena really warmed my heart, especially during Juliet's fucked up sabotage. Dan was the only one who believed her and believed IN her. When everyone else believed the worst in her, he stuck by her side and knew something wasn't right. This is why I will always pick Dan over Nate. Nate is incredibly gorgeous and sweet but I think he fucked up calling the police on her father in season 3 and believing the worst in her during the end of season 4. Despite everything that happened in season 5, you know the love is there between D & S. Always has been and always will be.
Top Ten Moments Yes! :) It’s another reason I will never ship Dan and Blair. I personally think that they have no chemistry, just a pretentious love for movies and books lol. Seeing Dan and Serena in season 4? That was real love, that was genuine and heartfelt and Dan and Blair never had that together. I really still don’t understand why the writers wasted a whole entire season on Dair especially when in the end, it didn’t work out lol.
Well I kind of see the point why they try to put them together but what I don't understand is why they, in season 6, let Blair spoke about Dan like "he is not one of us, he is loser from Brooklyn" it really doesn't make any sense, se dated him too for god sake. :-D
Top Ten Moments I can definitely see that. I don’t know, I guess personally I’d never want to date or help out a girl who banished my sister from Manhattan and relentlessly bullied her. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Blair and hated Jenny. But still, if Jenny was my sister, I really wouldn’t be okay with it lol.
I love Dan and Serena so much and am so happy they ended up together. I just wish they didn't have Dan change so much and turn into an ass. So I wish Dan stayed the way he was in Season 1 and beginning of season 2 and as a result I wish him and serena weren't so on and off because it just saddened me that they were apart for basically 3 seasons. I also wish that they at least showed a final kiss at the end or vows like they did with Chuck and Blair to give even more closure and just make me happy because ahh i love them together.
You could argue that he was an ass all along since he was Gossip Girl and there were some pretty horrible things on there, plus he manipulated everyone throughout the show and lied to them. Yeah he was totally an ass in that last season, but the rest he just hid it really well. Sad.
Iriana Rose Lessin I agree with you except for the on and off part. I think it added a very good turn. Because they would both constantly find themselves in situations where they both felt each others loves for one another but they couldnt act upon it. It created a sort of “suspense” and kept the audience wanting more of them together just like you and me. They told each other they loved each other a number of times while either of them was in a relationship and the other felt the same. I dont know I think it added a very great anticipation
dorothy2295 of course it makes it easier to love someone whilst acting when you love them irl, however some of their best work, for example in season 4 they weren’t together irl
Theyre so cute together! I totally agree with the order. and honestly I miss this sweet, sensitive dan, despite the fact that the older and corrupted by the upper east side dan is way hotter.
When I first watched Gossip Girl, I was overwhelmed by Chair and did not notice how beautiful Derena is. Just think Dan created Gossip Girl and did everything just to be equal to Serena to enter her world is so romantic. When Serena was overdosed in ss4, Dan was the only one by her side and believed in her. Their love story is very logical and mature. They're meant to be together
They were so sweet. I know they went through alot but I'm glad they ended up together. I liked Serena and Nate too but I don't think Serena loved him the way she loved Dan. She kept picking Dan over Nate over and over again. I also liked Carter and Serena but they weren't real love. The only Dan relationship I enjoyed was him and Serena. It's the only one with chemistry and passion. I know alot of people think Dan stopped loving her but I think he was always connected to her. He wasn't indifferent. Plus he kept dating people associated with her like her teacher, her stalker, her best friend, her cousin, etc.
here's my thought of derena's powerful scenes: 1. when dan told serena why he loved her at the humphrey's loft 2. when they broke up at the wedding 3. the "i broke up with aaron" scene. 4. when they broke up in the elevator (saddest scene ever, btw) 5. "you are the love of my life, dan" scene 6. "i love you, dan humphrey. always have, always will" scene 7. "just because we were broken up doesnt mean i could just turn it off like that" scene. honestly when she said "so what, dan? it hurt!" and her voice cracked i died little inside. well honestly i dont find their wedding scene was powerful tho, i think its not delivered well. but i admit that blake's expertise is her capability in doing emotional scenes. especially when it comes with dan or blair.
yep the elevator scene is the saddest scene from all the GG I think and that's the reason why I didn't put that scene into my top 10 but I absolutely agreed with you on that scene :-)
Yes!! The number 4 and 7 scenes were do well delivered!! Number 1 is my fav too! Season 1 Serena and Dan is just the cutest and the fact that he had a long time crush on her and she thought they were “forever” makes it even cuter (and sad while I was watching it).
lightyear I think season 4 was ultimately the most powerful season for Dan and Serena. Dan trusted and believed in Serena so much throughout the first 12-14 episode, and continued the love so strongly, but Serena kinda played him. When Dan said in episode 12 “I’ll always be there for you”, he actually was, trying to find out if Ben was good for her or not even tho it was hard seeing her with another guy. But after that I think he finally gave up on always being there for her because he couldn’t be there for her without putting too love into it, looking to far into it (not giving Ben a chance). Plus when they said one last chance I knew when they would eventually get back together it was gonna be for good, even tho they rushed they’re final
Blair- Queen of schemes. Serena- Queen of style. Chuck- King of bad boys. Nate- King of good boys. Dan- King of writers. Jenny- Queen of being hated by fans.
I really love the first time they meet, in the lobby! Love the scene, Dan seems to be such a genuine character! you just wish you knew him! so different from Serena and the rest of the pack!!^^
Martina Vidovic I thought the dude who played Louis could easily go for Jamie's brother. I thought it was him at first bc he looked really familiar, until I googled the actor lol
I loved them in Season 1 they were so cute and their love was good love and I was literally crying when the broke up because Dan was my favourite male character (because he seemed to be the only good guy who's not selfish and manipulative) and Serena was a person with such a good heart so they deserved each other BUT After the beginning of season 2 things just went so wrong Their love (and I was really a derenashipper) just wasn't the same Later in the show the writers turned Dan in a selfish and manipulative asshole and Serena became more and more egocentric and I didn't like them anymore I don't know if I'm glad they ended up together when I watched season one and found out they will marry I was like hell yas thanks god but they and their relationship changed in a not so good way
+MissUnkreativ I think nate was a good guy too, based out of the fact he never posted anything to gossip girl, and mainly was just treating serena really good! But yea Dan and Serena was the cutest couple!
@sarahbbyy lol! What disrespectful? He never disrespected her and if he did it wasn't attentional. What GG show was you watching? He always loved her and showed on his sleeve! Serena was a confused character through the entire series, she didn't know what she wanted until it was always gone from her hands. Serena fucked up just as badly as he had. but in the end they found their way back to one another that's all that counts, I prefer her with Dan then with Nate or any other male character I always saw them as for the moment kind of guys to be honest.
I've watched season 1 multiple times and I'm going to continue that because it is by far my favourite season mainly because I wish I could have a relationship like they had in S1
Tindrr I really liked their season 4 relationship as well, really rocky with dan constantly chasing after serena. Which lead to the fact I kinda liked their season 5 relationship because serena was finally chasing after dan, properly feeling what dan was feeling
Both of them just deteriorated overtime. There whole relationship was completely messed up. For the first few seasons they were cute af but towards the end it was horrible. It was like Dan just fell out with love with her and as much as Serena would try and make things work he would just push her away gradually. It may not of seemed like it but it's like once he had his it girl then that was it. He seemed more happy to have Blair. But Serenas the only reason why Dan would ever be even known in New York. He just took her for granted. Ughhh. Rant over
true, dan totally unfell for her in later seasons while serena took dan for granted too many times. i feel like dan was her second choice always. when things would go wrong with nate, aaron, carter and all the others she would go back to dan. dan was probably tired of this as well. then he fell in love with blair and i think he ended up with serena in the end because he couldn't have blair anymore. anyway it was a really unhappy relationship lmao
+- anne I think Derena slowly went down because dan and Serena were dating in real life, and in the last seasons the broke up so that might of caused them to not act as if they really love eachother. Since they were pretending to be inlove but they're actually not because they broke up in real life
im pretty sure those guys were her rebound from Dan, in her it was always her. Every season at one point we see her looking at Dan as if she were still in love with and it is probably because she was deep down
Dan was not Serena's second choice at all. He was her first choice. She rejected Nate at least 3 times for Dan. I don't think Dan really loved Blair anyway. Dan was always dating people that had something to do with Serena: Her best friend, her stalker, her cousin, her teacher, etc. It was always about Serena for him for better or for worse.
omg it´s sick how much I ship Derena they´re the love of my life I literlly don't know what to do about them!! My favorite season with them is easily the first but I love still love them all the time!!!!
What I love about them is that how many times they betray each other, kiss or sleep with another person, or when they move on. They still tend to never let the love among them fade. I can say that they never really stopped loving one another. Although I know they tried to but it is inevitable for them to fall out of the strings. I personally don't fall in love with two typical people in shows or movies. Most of the times I find it very disgusting or inappropriate so when I scream whenever they get back together or when they do the lip eye thing. I just know they are meant to be, no awkwardness in a bad way, not inappropriate, not a trying to fit in couple to each other's world but a real couple who don't care what world they come from because they would just make a world just for the two of them to belong to.
Unpopular opinion: Dan and Serena’s relationship was my favorite. In the beginning they were mad cute and then fell out, but I think it subconsciously had to do with dan’s jealousy of the rich & how easily they got out of their problems. He couldn’t relate to their problems and could only envy. Like how serena’s mom put a teacher not guilty of rape in prison and only had house arrest and how his friends also got out of problems due to money, but the poor suffered more for the same issues. both Dan and Serena were searching for a real connection in a money obsessed world was what brought and broke them up and brought them back to each other again. Serena was tired of ppl seeing her as an attention-seeking ditzy rich girl and dan was conflicted with his desire to move social classes, but not comprise his morals. Alas, dan was tired of rich ppl getting their way and did betray his friends but he thought it was okay since ppl like Chuck did it. Serena was someone who made Dan realize not all rich girls r self centered and only soley befriend ppl based on class, meanwhile Serena found someone who appreciates her intellect and authenticity.
So true, that’s why season 4, 5 and 6 are my favourite it shows them chasing after each other (dan chasing serena season 4 and serena chasing dan in season 5 and then ultimately both chasing each other away from each other and at the same time fighting for their love)
I mean they did it because they needed to show what he went through being the nice and sensitive guy. I mean he says it himself after telling everyone that he is gossip girl in the end that the nice, sweet dan would have been crushed under the weight of this world so he had to become someone else in order to show people that he's a fighter, even if that meant getting his hands dirty......and that's why serena still and always will love him.
I love Dan so much, I just wish he wouldn't have let the upper east side affect his character. Same thing for Vanessa, she used to be so kind and likeable and I would've never expected her to do that stuff to Serena
I'm only season 2 but i can i already see how much they need each other. They keep each other grounded. I'm just wondering how things would have turned out if Georgina hadn't shown up.
I don't know why...but whenever I see Dan and Serena together...and especially the last scene when they got married... I feel happy...I start smiling automatically...it is an amazing feeling...was and will always be a Derena fan...
Besides Chuck&Blair and Nate&Vanessa they are the best couple in this show. I think they reason why these two had so much chemistry is because they dated in real life during the show
I liked them a lot, I know that in recent seasons, have gone a bit 'waning, but I loved them all the same, because in any case, he wrote a book about her !!!! . I love them
Yo creo que Dan no era ni peor ni mejor que los demás, él objetivo de él desde el principio fué mostrar la forma de vida de lo chicos del UES y en el proceso de todo eso tuvo que sacar las uñas para defenderse, eso lo cambió pero no fué tan perverso como Chuck, Chuck le hizo cosas mucho peores a Blair, Dan no traicionó a nadie, escribió la verdad sobre cada uno de sus amigos, fué honesto en cierto sentido, tuvo que hacerse "malo" o "fuerte" para que lo tomaran enserio, y me encantó que él y Serena se quedaran juntos por que desde el principio Serena fué su musa, y la razón de que GG existiera, así que al final todo encaja.
I've just finished watching gossip girl and I absolutely loved Dan and serena relationship. Iam glad they get married at the end. They look cute together🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I just finished watching gossipgirl..Wow..I started watching this show for Blake and then fell in love with Dan and Blair's characters.I don't know why everyone hates Dan's character..I related to him the most..His chemistry with Serena in season 1 was awesome.My favourite couple.Towards the end they changed Dan's character a lot I guess.Still I loved him..Now I don't have any thing to watch..Any series like Gossip Girl?
I like Dan and Blair characters too so don't worry and I am the person who created this video so no hate for sure. ;-) Well maybe Pretty little liars(if you are ok with crimes), Teen wolf (if you are ok with fantasy), Girls (if you are ok with watching something little diffrent), O.C. (old school but great) and maybe Bold Type.
i just love the 2 of them.its like they r what u cud call a couple made in heaven,n only if they had really got married in real life,wow man,they wud have had the best looking kids one can ever imagine having,it broke my heart to see serena getting married to someone 10yrs older to her,dan n serena wud have been the couple of 1000 decades.......they where just meant for eachother.......
not only the wedding dude their whole relatinship became horrible from having parents who were together then a shared sibling like what the fuck were the writers even thinking, ruining a perfect relationship for no reason. still very good chemistry even after the break up or at least in season 4
I was rooting for Dan and Serena in the first season, because their relationship was so perfect. I just think things got complicated when Rufus and Lily fell in love with each other again, they share a half sibling, and they became step siblings. I started getting annoyed with Serena from season 3- final season where she became very fickle when it came love and dating which she inherited from Lily. I can see why Dan lost interest in Serena and started to fall for Blair instead.
OMG I love them together!!! I'm only on season 2 and alredy almost died when the broke up firs and second time! And now I'm going thru some videos and I saw that Dan is going to be with stupid Vanessa and with Blair also so I don't know should I keep watching because I'm so disappointed with Dan now!!!
I actually thougjt Dan and Serena were sweet for each other and it was interesting how their parents were really soul mates that didnt end up together but at least Dan and Serena ended up together. I thought that angle was cool. And i always rooted for Dan and Serena every episode. I didnt find myself rooting for any other couple
Okay so I know people are gonna hate me for saying this but honestly I was rooting for Rufus and Lily and i wouldn't have mind if Dan and Serena hadn't ended up together. I hated that Rufus and Lily couldn't have their share of happiness, first because of Lily's mom and then because of their children.
Both characters turned so unlikeable after season 4. By the end of the show you could really tell they absolutely hated playing those roles, let alone play the couple.
Such a shame they both cheated on each other many times!!!! This drama is so weird, it animalizes the characters as if they have no control over their desires! And it even is weirder that they were okay with the idea of them being cheated on and not even commenting on it, they would easily get back together as if it didn’t happen! For me if my boyfriend caught feelings once for another girl he is over for me forever!
Serena became so annoying! Her character just became selfish and self-centred! By the end of it, I honestly just wanted her to disappear! Blair Waldorf was my fav!!
This list is absolutely perfect!!!!! Like all of the things in the list even the wedding, when serena got drugged and when both of them had this kiss even tho they were dating other people... I didn't think u would put them in cuz people would often dismiss it, mostly season 5 horribleness (sry it just is the worst season dair fans), but you still placed it which was super awesome! Also love the arrangement cuz almost would place everything (ONLY would change s5, I'm kinda surprised it was higher than the wedding and s4, and wouldn't actually place it on the list) in the same order and loved that you placed whole parts of each episode in the video with good quality :) that s3 moment tho was soo funny omg :D Season 2 should obvs be there in the middle! Loved loved loved the first episode of that season, PERF, and the wedding (sorry!) made me tear up everytime i watch it (which is a LOT even tho i just finished the series the 2nd time) And the upper half of the list is DEFINITELY season 1 awesomeness and just cuteness and just awwwwww!! THE best moments of gossip girl IS derena in s1! Personal faves of that season like their first date, pilot, christmas, cotillion, i love u, finale.... yep just LOVE most of the derena moments (EXCEPT S5) even s6 cuz of the throwbacks to the derena relationship we all know and love, WEDDING (like sex in the city finale song btw! and reference to the pilot if u know what i mean... :), and just rekindling their romance (even a bit rushed, but still done believably well) still don't get why dan is gg tho... anyways thank u xlelusx this is literally my fave derena video! Teared up too much to actually admit and just overall amazing, thank u! (don't read stuff below cuz it gets wayyy to obsesive... you've been warned:) Ps would have loved to see them being in cotillion together in s1ep10, just always think about this moment when i think of them (well FIRST among a lot of things) or when they broke up the first time in the finale of s1 was just sad and tear jerkingly ughhh
+Alexandrea Nicole Sorry that it takes so long before I really answer to you. :-) I really need to say that you surprised me when I see the long of your comment :-D but it´s only telling me that you really love them like I do. I need to say that all of that scenes that you described was actually in the big list before I started the whole reduction process :-D :-D So it is really great to see that we have similar opinion on these two. But yeah anyway thank you of your comment ;-)
They’re meant for each other in more ways than one, but he was a total a** when Serena kissed Nate at the white party, Dan got mad and proceeded to walk away without giving S a chance. Yet when the two girls he’s been f*cking at the same time confront him, all of a sudden things are ok!??
Good ol' Blake Lively, when she was still on GG.hey, still she looks swell in flicks, 2015's "The Age of Adeline", too!:) XOXO. Gossip Girl.(You know you love it. Crushing on Chuck Bass.)
Dan was so sweet in the beginning but I never liked Serena. I thought she always took him for granted and kept secrets from him which caused them to break up half the time. Serena also bounced from one relationship to the next including with married men and Dan drastically changed into someone Serena wouldn’t want to be with from season1 especially after writing those stories about her and being a long time stalker. I think Serena with Nate, and Dan with Vanessa is a better fit.
Lulu Love Lulu Love 6:02 Serena treated Nate the same way. Serena loved Nate but wasn’t in love. Serena “Dan, good shoulders to cry on. Nate, good shoulders.” Nate and Serena had a physical attraction but Dan and Serena had an emotional attraction. Serena ended her relationship with Nate after he decided to forgive her for kissing Dan. In rehab because of her overdose, caused by Juliet, Nate clarifies that this is typical Serena behaviour and that he is not going to let her pull him back in ever again. Dan disagrees. Numerous times Serena has chosen Dan over Nate. Frankly I think Nate only wants what he can’t have.
I feel like the story was better when they were all in high school. they didnt find a nice way to connect all the characters after that. They should have just let them stay in highschool till the show ended
What took them so long to get married? It really needed almost a decade? And why was her dad invited? He abandoned them and draggled Lily & framed Rufus
Totally agree with Top 1, her laugh and embarrassment, when he called her sexy, is the most beautiful scene of the whole Gossip Girl and I cannot stop watching it.
I think Dan was the only guy Serena really loved...She always found her way back to him. I love/loved them together so much.
But when they broke up in real life it ruinied the chemistry between them. understandable but it was creepy to watch.
its sad because he did not love her as much :(
Smy_ily in the show or in real life??
Agree I’m watching GG and I’m on season 5. And Serena in every season said that she love Dan. She really love him
Absolutely,100%
Honestly? Whoever Dan is paired up with, it always seems so light and natural and very healthy??? Dan will always be my favourite gg male character
Absolutely agree with everything. There is something about him. :-)
Yes so true I agree. I hate that they made him gossip girl though :(
Same!
Yes so true even with Blair they shined
I totally agree
I don't give a crap what anyone says about these two, I've always loved them together!
Derena is my OTP in Gossip Girl, and my favourite couple, so glad they ended up together
thank god I am not alone!! :-D
THGQueen i like serenate too but i love dan
THGQueen thank god!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not alone!!!!!! #DERENAFIREVER
Me toooooooooooooo !!! i love Derena :)
THGQueen derena is cool but the best couple of gossip girl is chair💋
My favorite danrena moment, even though it was super sad, was the second time they broke up, when they were in the elevator
"Serena.. I still.."
"I know.. me too.." :,(
Always broke my heart.
Season 4 Dan and Serena really warmed my heart, especially during Juliet's fucked up sabotage. Dan was the only one who believed her and believed IN her. When everyone else believed the worst in her, he stuck by her side and knew something wasn't right. This is why I will always pick Dan over Nate. Nate is incredibly gorgeous and sweet but I think he fucked up calling the police on her father in season 3 and believing the worst in her during the end of season 4. Despite everything that happened in season 5, you know the love is there between D & S. Always has been and always will be.
So I assume that you like my pick for the 10. scene? :-D
You actually describe why I love them in season 4.
Top Ten Moments Yes! :) It’s another reason I will never ship Dan and Blair. I personally think that they have no chemistry, just a pretentious love for movies and books lol. Seeing Dan and Serena in season 4? That was real love, that was genuine and heartfelt and Dan and Blair never had that together. I really still don’t understand why the writers wasted a whole entire season on Dair especially when in the end, it didn’t work out lol.
Well I kind of see the point why they try to put them together but what I don't understand is why they, in season 6, let Blair spoke about Dan like "he is not one of us, he is loser from Brooklyn" it really doesn't make any sense, se dated him too for god sake. :-D
Top Ten Moments I can definitely see that. I don’t know, I guess personally I’d never want to date or help out a girl who banished my sister from Manhattan and relentlessly bullied her. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Blair and hated Jenny. But still, if Jenny was my sister, I really wouldn’t be okay with it lol.
Allie B yeah that's also true. Something that did not occur my mind until you pointed it out.👏😀
literally whenever i hear dan humphrey speak i can only think about joe goldberg
Hahahha
Lol sameeeedt 🤣
So true
Hshshshshsbsbs
I love Dan and Serena so much and am so happy they ended up together. I just wish they didn't have Dan change so much and turn into an ass. So I wish Dan stayed the way he was in Season 1 and beginning of season 2 and as a result I wish him and serena weren't so on and off because it just saddened me that they were apart for basically 3 seasons. I also wish that they at least showed a final kiss at the end or vows like they did with Chuck and Blair to give even more closure and just make me happy because ahh i love them together.
Iriana Rose Lessin is awesome I agree with her
You could argue that he was an ass all along since he was Gossip Girl and there were some pretty horrible things on there, plus he manipulated everyone throughout the show and lied to them. Yeah he was totally an ass in that last season, but the rest he just hid it really well. Sad.
people change from how they were in high school to how they grow up to be.. I liked his transformation.. it was realistic..
Iriana Rose Lessin I agree with you except for the on and off part. I think it added a very good turn. Because they would both constantly find themselves in situations where they both felt each others loves for one another but they couldnt act upon it. It created a sort of “suspense” and kept the audience wanting more of them together just like you and me. They told each other they loved each other a number of times while either of them was in a relationship and the other felt the same. I dont know I think it added a very great anticipation
You miss the part when Serena says that all he did actually was writing a big love letter
Best Gossip Girl Relationships
1: All seasons Chuck and Blair
2: Season 1 Dan and Serena.
3: Everyone else.
yeah dan and serena was only cute in season one honestly
code Surely not 'Chuck selling Blair for a hotel and taking Jennys virginity' all seasons?
he didnt forces jenny to sleep with him and for blaire he didn't tell her to go with jack , may be chuck wasn't perfect but jenny and blair too
code
I hate Chuck and Blair. Sorry
dan and serena were only cute in season 1, tbh. i shipped serenate.
the best ones when were penn and blake were together in real life
I totally agree with u
YESSSS
dorothy2295 of course it makes it easier to love someone whilst acting when you love them irl, however some of their best work, for example in season 4 they weren’t together irl
YESSSS
dorothy2295 thats cuz the chemistry was real
Theyre so cute together! I totally agree with the order. and honestly I miss this sweet, sensitive dan, despite the fact that the older and corrupted by the upper east side dan is way hotter.
+Shanze Madhani Amen!!!
Shanze Madhani no Nate is Hotter
Neh :-D
AdelVice But Serena never loved Nate. Nate was a rebound to her. Someone safe to u know 😂
Shanze Madhani juan
The way he looks at her is so powerful, I don’t think he looked at anyone like that after her. His eyes looking at her is everything this love is.
Is that why I won't watch any season past season 2? I'm scared to fall out with these two. Derena will forever be my favorite couple.
Constantine Domain thats why you have to look till the end
it's good, it become boring for me in some point of the series but it make everything perfect in season 6
Hi there
You have to watch the whole thing to see how they end up together
When I first watched Gossip Girl, I was overwhelmed by Chair and did not notice how beautiful Derena is. Just think Dan created Gossip Girl and did everything just to be equal to Serena to enter her world is so romantic. When Serena was overdosed in ss4, Dan was the only one by her side and believed in her. Their love story is very logical and mature. They're meant to be together
I really like your point of view. :-) I hope everyone who have been bitc*ing around them will read that. :-)
Tran Vu Thank you, but I shipped them from the beginning and after watching the show for the 4th time I still ship only them
I think they are more tragic but beautiful
They were so sweet. I know they went through alot but I'm glad they ended up together. I liked Serena and Nate too but I don't think Serena loved him the way she loved Dan. She kept picking Dan over Nate over and over again. I also liked Carter and Serena but they weren't real love. The only Dan relationship I enjoyed was him and Serena. It's the only one with chemistry and passion. I know alot of people think Dan stopped loving her but I think he was always connected to her. He wasn't indifferent. Plus he kept dating people associated with her like her teacher, her stalker, her best friend, her cousin, etc.
here's my thought of derena's powerful scenes:
1. when dan told serena why he loved her at the humphrey's loft
2. when they broke up at the wedding
3. the "i broke up with aaron" scene.
4. when they broke up in the elevator (saddest scene ever, btw)
5. "you are the love of my life, dan" scene
6. "i love you, dan humphrey. always have, always will" scene
7. "just because we were broken up doesnt mean i could just turn it off like that" scene. honestly when she said "so what, dan? it hurt!" and her voice cracked i died little inside.
well honestly i dont find their wedding scene was powerful tho, i think its not delivered well. but i admit that blake's expertise is her capability in doing emotional scenes. especially when it comes with dan or blair.
yep the elevator scene is the saddest scene from all the GG I think and that's the reason why I didn't put that scene into my top 10 but I absolutely agreed with you on that scene :-)
When her voice cracked I truly died and that elevator scene, I did NOT recover from that
lightyear
Yes!! The number 4 and 7 scenes were do well delivered!! Number 1 is my fav too! Season 1 Serena and Dan is just the cutest and the fact that he had a long time crush on her and she thought they were “forever” makes it even cuter (and sad while I was watching it).
lightyear I think season 4 was ultimately the most powerful season for Dan and Serena. Dan trusted and believed in Serena so much throughout the first 12-14 episode, and continued the love so strongly, but Serena kinda played him. When Dan said in episode 12 “I’ll always be there for you”, he actually was, trying to find out if Ben was good for her or not even tho it was hard seeing her with another guy. But after that I think he finally gave up on always being there for her because he couldn’t be there for her without putting too love into it, looking to far into it (not giving Ben a chance). Plus when they said one last chance I knew when they would eventually get back together it was gonna be for good, even tho they rushed they’re final
Blair- Queen of schemes.
Serena- Queen of style.
Chuck- King of bad boys.
Nate- King of good boys.
Dan- King of writers.
Jenny- Queen of being hated by fans.
I really love the first time they meet, in the lobby! Love the scene, Dan seems to be such a genuine character! you just wish you knew him! so different from Serena and the rest of the pack!!^^
+marie21000 yeah that´s probably the reason why he was always my favourite in this show ;-)
comot17 omg best comment ever
Dan TOTALLY looks like a younger Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan, to be exact).
THAT'S TRUUEEEE
Martina Vidovic you see it to good i thought i was crazy
Martina Vidovic Is Christian Grey not supposed to have a "towering height" ? 1.74m/5"8.5 ft seems to be a tad short, nope ?
Omfg yas i thought exactly the same!!!!!
Martina Vidovic I thought the dude who played Louis could easily go for Jamie's brother. I thought it was him at first bc he looked really familiar, until I googled the actor lol
Dan and Serena were my favorite couple
It's kinda funny cause you say you love dan and serena, your username is aussly and your profile picture is rucas not trying to be rude or anything
I meant to put one of my favorites
Auslly Love 1000 i understand that i just like those couples to
I just started watching the flash even though they aren't a couple I like Barry and Caitlin
Same🤗🤗
I loved them in Season 1 they were so cute and their love was good love and I was literally crying when the broke up because Dan was my favourite male character (because he seemed to be the only good guy who's not selfish and manipulative) and Serena was a person with such a good heart so they deserved each other
BUT
After the beginning of season 2 things just went so wrong
Their love (and I was really a derenashipper) just wasn't the same
Later in the show the writers turned Dan in a selfish and manipulative asshole and Serena became more and more egocentric and I didn't like them anymore
I don't know if I'm glad they ended up together when I watched season one and found out they will marry I was like hell yas thanks god but they and their relationship changed in a not so good way
MissUnkreativ agree
+MissUnkreativ Same here. But I think it's the best when they finally end up together cuz they see the special in each other.
+MissUnkreativ I think nate was a good guy too, based out of the fact he never posted anything to gossip girl, and mainly was just treating serena really good!
But yea Dan and Serena was the cutest couple!
they were only cute in season one, rufly and serenate should’ve been endgame agh
@sarahbbyy lol! What disrespectful? He never disrespected her and if he did it wasn't attentional. What GG show was you watching? He always loved her and showed on his sleeve! Serena was a confused character through the entire series, she didn't know what she wanted until it was always gone from her hands. Serena fucked up just as badly as he had. but in the end they found their way back to one another that's all that counts, I prefer her with Dan then with Nate or any other male character I always saw them as for the moment kind of guys to be honest.
Seasons 1 and 2 were my favorites, these two were gold. I love Derena, always have, always will :')
I've watched season 1 multiple times and I'm going to continue that because it is by far my favourite season mainly because I wish I could have a relationship like they had in S1
Tindrr I really liked their season 4 relationship as well, really rocky with dan constantly chasing after serena. Which lead to the fact I kinda liked their season 5 relationship because serena was finally chasing after dan, properly feeling what dan was feeling
Both of them just deteriorated overtime. There whole relationship was completely messed up. For the first few seasons they were cute af but towards the end it was horrible. It was like Dan just fell out with love with her and as much as Serena would try and make things work he would just push her away gradually. It may not of seemed like it but it's like once he had his it girl then that was it. He seemed more happy to have Blair. But Serenas the only reason why Dan would ever be even known in New York. He just took her for granted. Ughhh. Rant over
true, dan totally unfell for her in later seasons while serena took dan for granted too many times. i feel like dan was her second choice always. when things would go wrong with nate, aaron, carter and all the others she would go back to dan. dan was probably tired of this as well. then he fell in love with blair and i think he ended up with serena in the end because he couldn't have blair anymore. anyway it was a really unhappy relationship lmao
+- anne I think Derena slowly went down because dan and Serena were dating in real life, and in the last seasons the broke up so that might of caused them to not act as if they really love eachother. Since they were pretending to be inlove but they're actually not because they broke up in real life
im pretty sure those guys were her rebound from Dan, in her it was always her. Every season at one point we see her looking at Dan as if she were still in love with and it is probably because she was deep down
xo what about all the times she stood him up at the beginning lmao?
Dan was not Serena's second choice at all. He was her first choice. She rejected Nate at least 3 times for Dan. I don't think Dan really loved Blair anyway. Dan was always dating people that had something to do with Serena: Her best friend, her stalker, her cousin, her teacher, etc. It was always about Serena for him for better or for worse.
Dan is perfect with everyone...he is really a perfect guy
Love the “ I told my mom to don’t go with Rufus, becausw I think we’re forever” scene
omg it´s sick how much I ship Derena they´re the love of my life I literlly don't know what to do about them!! My favorite season with them is easily the first but I love still love them all the time!!!!
What I love about them is that how many times they betray each other, kiss or sleep with another person, or when they move on. They still tend to never let the love among them fade. I can say that they never really stopped loving one another. Although I know they tried to but it is inevitable for them to fall out of the strings. I personally don't fall in love with two typical people in shows or movies. Most of the times I find it very disgusting or inappropriate so when I scream whenever they get back together or when they do the lip eye thing. I just know they are meant to be, no awkwardness in a bad way, not inappropriate, not a trying to fit in couple to each other's world but a real couple who don't care what world they come from because they would just make a world just for the two of them to belong to.
Oh Joe Goldberg
That's how I found his other work
Unpopular opinion: Dan and Serena’s relationship was my favorite. In the beginning they were mad cute and then fell out, but I think it subconsciously had to do with dan’s jealousy of the rich & how easily they got out of their problems. He couldn’t relate to their problems and could only envy. Like how serena’s mom put a teacher not guilty of rape in prison and only had house arrest and how his friends also got out of problems due to money, but the poor suffered more for the same issues. both Dan and Serena were searching for a real connection in a money obsessed world was what brought and broke them up and brought them back to each other again. Serena was tired of ppl seeing her as an attention-seeking ditzy rich girl and dan was conflicted with his desire to move social classes, but not comprise his morals. Alas, dan was tired of rich ppl getting their way and did betray his friends but he thought it was okay since ppl like Chuck did it. Serena was someone who made Dan realize not all rich girls r self centered and only soley befriend ppl based on class, meanwhile Serena found someone who appreciates her intellect and authenticity.
So true, that’s why season 4, 5 and 6 are my favourite it shows them chasing after each other (dan chasing serena season 4 and serena chasing dan in season 5 and then ultimately both chasing each other away from each other and at the same time fighting for their love)
penn is one of those very few men who should play Mr.Grey at some point in their lives
I mean they did it because they needed to show what he went through being the nice and sensitive guy. I mean he says it himself after telling everyone that he is gossip girl in the end that the nice, sweet dan would have been crushed under the weight of this world so he had to become someone else in order to show people that he's a fighter, even if that meant getting his hands dirty......and that's why serena still and always will love him.
Love Serena & Dan together I think it’s the best couple in “Gossip Girl” Derena is & always will be an amazing couple
They were always my fav couple. I never got the chuck Blair hype
Oh i super love dan and serena 😍 can't get enough of them really
I love Dan so much, I just wish he wouldn't have let the upper east side affect his character. Same thing for Vanessa, she used to be so kind and likeable and I would've never expected her to do that stuff to Serena
Loved it! Only missed my favourite bus scene though :D
Yeah I love this scene too but I have to decided it. :-D
half an hour of greatness. I love them so much together dkjfghf,dhjg
I'm only season 2 but i can i already see how much they need each other. They keep each other grounded. I'm just wondering how things would have turned out if Georgina hadn't shown up.
“That was a mistake... it was completely random. It was Gravity”😂😂😂😂😂
I don't know why...but whenever I see Dan and Serena together...and especially the last scene when they got married... I feel happy...I start smiling automatically...it is an amazing feeling...was and will always be a Derena fan...
It is really beautiful that these two still do that to you. :-)
Besides Chuck&Blair and Nate&Vanessa they are the best couple in this show. I think they reason why these two had so much chemistry is because they dated in real life during the show
Katie12886 Yes totally agree with u
Katie12886 Jenny and Nate
I liked them a lot, I know that in recent seasons, have gone a bit 'waning, but I loved them all the same, because in any case, he wrote a book about her !!!! . I love them
Yo creo que Dan no era ni peor ni mejor que los demás, él objetivo de él desde el principio fué mostrar la forma de vida de lo chicos del UES y en el proceso de todo eso tuvo que sacar las uñas para defenderse, eso lo cambió pero no fué tan perverso como Chuck, Chuck le hizo cosas mucho peores a Blair, Dan no traicionó a nadie, escribió la verdad sobre cada uno de sus amigos, fué honesto en cierto sentido, tuvo que hacerse "malo" o "fuerte" para que lo tomaran enserio, y me encantó que él y Serena se quedaran juntos por que desde el principio Serena fué su musa, y la razón de que GG existiera, así que al final todo encaja.
Dan and Serena are my favorite actually but they did not been a partner at all seasons. Blair and Chuck kind of a wild relationship all along.
I've just finished watching gossip girl and I absolutely loved Dan and serena relationship. Iam glad they get married at the end. They look cute together🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I just finished watching gossipgirl..Wow..I started watching this show for Blake and then fell in love with Dan and Blair's characters.I don't know why everyone hates Dan's character..I related to him the most..His chemistry with Serena in season 1 was awesome.My favourite couple.Towards the end they changed Dan's character a lot I guess.Still I loved him..Now I don't have any thing to watch..Any series like Gossip Girl?
I like Dan and Blair characters too so don't worry and I am the person who created this video so no hate for sure. ;-) Well maybe Pretty little liars(if you are ok with crimes), Teen wolf (if you are ok with fantasy), Girls (if you are ok with watching something little diffrent), O.C. (old school but great) and maybe Bold Type.
I love this show, but you should try one tree hill its just as good if not better. Also try vampire diaries, anfd 90210
Mean Girls probably i guess i only heard about it
Love this couple. Love Dan
I can not be the only one that gets slightly creeped out every time they see Penn Badgley/Dan after having seen You 🙈
Nope dont worry :-D . I have a crush on him since Gossip Girl and even I am little bit creeped out. :-D
His hair in the first episode I’m- 💀💀
This is beautiful I love them together
i just love the 2 of them.its like they r what u cud call a couple made in heaven,n only if they had really got married in real life,wow man,they wud have had the best looking kids one can ever imagine having,it broke my heart to see serena getting married to someone 10yrs older to her,dan n serena wud have been the couple of 1000 decades.......they where just meant for eachother.......
honestly i love dan and serena but that wedding was horrible
Her dress was🤢
@@thea-ld3sp not even 😂
not only the wedding dude their whole relatinship became horrible from having parents who were together then a shared sibling like what the fuck were the writers even thinking, ruining a perfect relationship for no reason. still very good chemistry even after the break up or at least in season 4
Dan fell first Serena fell harder
Top two couples of gossip girl
1. Chuck and Blair
2. Serena and Dan
I was rooting for Dan and Serena in the first season, because their relationship was so perfect. I just think things got complicated when Rufus and Lily fell in love with each other again, they share a half sibling, and they became step siblings. I started getting annoyed with Serena from season 3- final season where she became very fickle when it came love and dating which she inherited from Lily. I can see why Dan lost interest in Serena and started to fall for Blair instead.
Absolutely agree on this. :-)
I'm fangirl-ing all over this
I thought one of the best serena and dan parts happened in season 1 and a little in season 2
I love the two together!!
OMG I love them together!!! I'm only on season 2 and alredy almost died when the broke up firs and second time! And now I'm going thru some videos and I saw that Dan is going to be with stupid Vanessa and with Blair also so I don't know should I keep watching because I'm so disappointed with Dan now!!!
Awwww so cute I'm only on season 2
enjoy it ;-) !
Same xx
jack and georgina are my favorite couple
HAHAHAHA yassss!
😂😂😂
Big mistake to watch this without finishing the series!! XD
Idk why but watching the tv show I always related to dan and the world we live in
I actually thougjt Dan and Serena were sweet for each other and it was interesting how their parents were really soul mates that didnt end up together but at least Dan and Serena ended up together. I thought that angle was cool. And i always rooted for Dan and Serena every episode. I didnt find myself rooting for any other couple
Okay so I know people are gonna hate me for saying this but honestly I was rooting for Rufus and Lily and i wouldn't have mind if Dan and Serena hadn't ended up together. I hated that Rufus and Lily couldn't have their share of happiness, first because of Lily's mom and then because of their children.
Looking back at season 1, they really do made for each other
What started it all
Where’s the scene where he picks her up and she looks back at her mom . That was so cute
Yes that’s gotta be top 3
Both characters turned so unlikeable after season 4. By the end of the show you could really tell they absolutely hated playing those roles, let alone play the couple.
These moments were perfect 💓💓
Thank you.
My heart
I loved her wedding dress
One of my favorite TV couples. I just wished that they'd gotten married around the same time that Blair and Chuck did
I Rlly do like derena but I would rather rufus and lily ended up together
Before the writers made them worse they were the perfect couple I miss them
Ugh, seems like I forgot how daaaaang HOT these two were
Yep yep
I'm on Season 5 and i'm about to watch episode 13!
hold on until season 6 that's good ;-)
Such a shame they both cheated on each other many times!!!! This drama is so weird, it animalizes the characters as if they have no control over their desires! And it even is weirder that they were okay with the idea of them being cheated on and not even commenting on it, they would easily get back together as if it didn’t happen! For me if my boyfriend caught feelings once for another girl he is over for me forever!
Serena became so annoying! Her character just became selfish and self-centred! By the end of it, I honestly just wanted her to disappear! Blair Waldorf was my fav!!
Same here
Sooo romantic..💗💗💗💋
Dan and Serena I love you!!!
I’m so glad we got their endgame
They did have a couple of cute moments in season 1. But their ending together felt super forced, it was awkward to watch.
Blair and dan were my favourite couple, season 5-6 was so fkn tense, I love it
Lol the part that Dan said it was gravity you went for the hug and he touch his cheek so cuteeee
This list is absolutely perfect!!!!! Like all of the things in the list even the wedding, when serena got drugged and when both of them had this kiss even tho they were dating other people... I didn't think u would put them in cuz people would often dismiss it, mostly season 5 horribleness (sry it just is the worst season dair fans), but you still placed it which was super awesome! Also love the arrangement cuz almost would place everything (ONLY would change s5, I'm kinda surprised it was higher than the wedding and s4, and wouldn't actually place it on the list) in the same order and loved that you placed whole parts of each episode in the video with good quality :) that s3 moment tho was soo funny omg :D Season 2 should obvs be there in the middle! Loved loved loved the first episode of that season, PERF, and the wedding (sorry!) made me tear up everytime i watch it (which is a LOT even tho i just finished the series the 2nd time) And the upper half of the list is DEFINITELY season 1 awesomeness and just cuteness and just awwwwww!! THE best moments of gossip girl IS derena in s1! Personal faves of that season like their first date, pilot, christmas, cotillion, i love u, finale.... yep just LOVE most of the derena moments (EXCEPT S5) even s6 cuz of the throwbacks to the derena relationship we all know and love, WEDDING (like sex in the city finale song btw! and reference to the pilot if u know what i mean... :), and just rekindling their romance (even a bit rushed, but still done believably well) still don't get why dan is gg tho... anyways thank u xlelusx this is literally my fave derena video! Teared up too much to actually admit and just overall amazing, thank u! (don't read stuff below cuz it gets wayyy to obsesive... you've been warned:)
Ps would have loved to see them being in cotillion together in s1ep10, just always think about this moment when i think of them (well FIRST among a lot of things) or when they broke up the first time in the finale of s1 was just sad and tear jerkingly ughhh
+Alexandrea Nicole Sorry that it takes so long before I really answer to you. :-) I really need to say that you surprised me when I see the long of your comment :-D but it´s only telling me that you really love them like I do. I need to say that all of that scenes that you described was actually in the big list before I started the whole reduction process :-D :-D So it is really great to see that we have similar opinion on these two.
But yeah anyway thank you of your comment ;-)
season 1 gossip girl was the F U C K I N G best
They’re meant for each other in more ways than one, but he was a total a** when Serena kissed Nate at the white party, Dan got mad and proceeded to walk away without giving S a chance. Yet when the two girls he’s been f*cking at the same time confront him, all of a sudden things are ok!??
7:52 I love this kiss ❤️
CHUCK AND BLAIR 4EVER!

I hate you Jenny

Can someone please tell me the name of the song at the beginning of this video!!

Dan was so sweet in the beginning but I never liked Serena. I thought she always took him for granted and kept secrets from him which caused them to break up half the time. Serena also bounced from one relationship to the next including with married men and Dan drastically changed into someone Serena wouldn’t want to be with from season1 especially after writing those stories about her and being a long time stalker. I think Serena with Nate, and Dan with Vanessa is a better fit.
Lulu Love Lulu Love 6:02 Serena treated Nate the same way. Serena loved Nate but wasn’t in love. Serena “Dan, good shoulders to cry on. Nate, good shoulders.” Nate and Serena had a physical attraction but Dan and Serena had an emotional attraction. Serena ended her relationship with Nate after he decided to forgive her for kissing Dan. In rehab because of her overdose, caused by Juliet, Nate clarifies that this is typical Serena behaviour and that he is not going to let her pull him back in ever again. Dan disagrees. Numerous times Serena has chosen Dan over Nate. Frankly I think Nate only wants what he can’t have.
Lulu Love
Jenny and Nate
Serena and Dan
Blair and Chuck
Vanessa and Scott
Jonathan and Eric
i finishe re watching the oc now for gosip girl
john Paladines me rn
I feel like the story was better when they were all in high school. they didnt find a nice way to connect all the characters after that. They should have just let them stay in highschool till the show ended
CHAIRRRR
JACKIE MOLINA???
What took them so long to get married? It really needed almost a decade? And why was her dad invited? He abandoned them and draggled Lily & framed Rufus
