AE: We haven’t seen much of Gretchen’s girlfriend, Liz, lately, and when we did see her she wasn’t in a great mood—which is understandable considering all the craziness that’s been happening. Did she finally get fed up and leave Gretchen?
Jessica Szohr: [As of right now], we are in a relationship and fine. What I thought was cool with the way Matt created that storyline and brought in Liz, was that he wasn’t making Gretchen a lesbian for the shock value, oh my god, overly sexy, two girls together. It was like, it is what it is, which I think is really cool about it. But, I also think people are curious to know where is that relationship going. Is Liz going to be there and fight with her through all of these crazy things? Does Liz actually know what’s going on? So, I would like for them to explore that more, because in the situation that Gretchen’s in, gang members coming into the hospital, and possibly knowing where she lives, and doing drive-bys at John’s house, it could affect my personal life—whether it’s my sister or my girlfriend, so I do think they need to touch on that more as we move forward.
I do like that they didn’t make it this whole thing of, “Oh, Gretchen’s a lesbian, so now we have to touch on that and go deep into that,” because I feel like when you do that it makes it seem like wehave to do that, because it’s not a normal thing. And I think, in life, you like who you like and you love who you love and that’s just what it is. So, I like how they did that and I think the way Matt writes is very real, I don’t think it was for shock value, it just was what it was. So, right now, I think they are still together and it is still something that will definitely come up in the second season.
