Michelle Trachtenberg Promises 'A Lot Of Trouble' On 'Gossip Girl'

'It's definitely a lot more fun to play the bad girl than it is to play the good girl,' she tells MTV News.

Michelle Trachtenberg wants to spice things up when she makes her way back to "Gossip Girl" later this season as Georgina Sparks. Just how spicy does she want to get?

"[I want] to make out with Leighton [Meester]," she joked to MTV News about who she'd like to kiss next. "I'm just kidding. Everyone's like, 'Oh, my God, you get to make out with all the boys.' And I'm like, 'You're totally keeping out all the girls.' "

All joking aside, Trachtenberg said, "There's only onscreen making out, and the only person Georgina has ever made out with is Dan." But just because she's been a one-man woman so far doesn't mean she won't be bringing the drama.

"There's definitely going to be a lot of trouble," she said. "And I think with any evil character, you sort of have to have a few redeeming moments, but I think the fantastic-ness about being an evil character is you never know if those redeeming moments are just a hoax as a part of those grand evil schemes or if it's the real deal."

Trachtenberg said she loves Georgina's bad-girl moments. "I think it's definitely a lot more fun to play the bad girl than it is to play the good girl," she said. "She's great, and the words that are written for me are just so easy to make it really nasty and bitchy, and I have a lot of fun, and I'm evil, evil, evil on set, and someone says, 'Great job,' and then I go home."

Although she isn't a series regular, she said the cast is "like a big family."

"When I arrived back the second season, Blake [Lively] was like, 'Oh, my God, I can't believe you've been gone for so long,' " Trachtenberg recalled. "It's really nice they always welcome me back. It's a great vibe on set."
