they are allowed to make offers to writers now... one step closer to a pick-up.

also hearing that CBS-Paramount's David Stapf may be replacing Dawn Ostroff, but that's just unsubstantiated rumor at this point

I hope Dawn is gone. Gossip Girl is not something that I would watch but it could be a hit.

The CW had a terrible first season.

and if D.O. is given the boot, probably what is being internally perceived as a bad development season (since she had a whole season this go around instead of 4 months like last time).

If Dawn is given the boot, what will this mean for all the shows?

I figured Gossip Girl would be as good as a go.

What about Reaper? Any news on that one?

The Ostroff speculation is interesting. Who would have ever imagined that we could end up with her fired and VM renewed? Her very incompetence may have saved the show again.

That rumor was around a few months ago though since I remember googling him after I heard. I would think if that was the plan though, it would have been done before this pilot season? Or maybe it was more of a 'if our development slate sucks and the best we have is two shows and more Pussy Cat Dolls, then someone's head must roll?'
