Netflix fans floored as Gossip Girl star has unexpected cameo in You season 5
WARNING: This article contains spoilers from You season five. Netflix's psychological thriller You has wrapped up, but not before welcoming a former Gossip Girl star for a cameo in its fifth and final season. After a tumultuous stint in London during the fourth season of 'You', Joe Goldberg (portrayed by Penn Badgley) has spent the last three years back in New York with his wife Kate Lockwood (played by Charlotte Ritchie). With Kate's assistance, Joe was able to reunite with his son Henry, who was under the care of Dante (Ben Mehl) and his husband from the third season. However, Joe starts to worry that his violent tendencies may have been passed on to Henry when he and Kate are summoned to meet with the school's counsellor after Henry punches his cousin. Joe and Kate consult with Dr Val, who informs them that Henry needs to be suspended. However, Netflix viewers were left scratching their heads when the counsellor made her appearance. Dr Val is played by actress Michelle Hurd, who Gossip Girl fans might recall as Laurel from the first two seasons. Actress Michelle Hurd is behind Dr Val in You season five.

Ambitious and eager to climb the career ladder, Laurel views Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen), a summer intern at the company, as a potential threat. Fans of the hit series 'Gossip Girl' and 'You' have been buzzing on Reddit after noticing actress Michelle Hurd, who plays a tough boss in 'Gossip Girl', also appears in 'You' without recognizing Dan Humphrey's (Joe Goldberg) sister. A Reddit user posted a comparison of Hurd in both shows, sparking a flurry of reactions: "She didn't recognize Dan Humphrey. Did she?" Actress Michelle Hurd was behind fashion photographer Laurel in Gossip Girl seasons one and two. (Image: CBS) One fan excitedly responded: "I kept trying to search where I knew her from. Omg thank you." Others chimed in with surprise, one saying: "Omg no way", and another simply stating: "Ain't no way." Another viewer humorously suggested: "Every time I saw her, I kept screaming into the screen saying 'Joe should just kill her cuz she did Dan's sister Jenny so dirty in Gossip Girl." But it's not just 'Gossip Girl' that has Netflix viewers recognizing Hurd; she's also known for her role as Detective Monique Jeffries in 'Law And Order: SVU' in the 90s, leaving the show in 2001, and for playing Raffi Musiker alongside Patrick Stewart in 'Star Trek: Picard'. You is available to watch on Netflix.

You season 5 fans taken back by mini Gossip Girl reunion in Netflix finale
You season five brings Joe Goldberg's story to an end for good after seven gripping years. WARNING: This article contains spoilers from You season five. Netflix's hit drama You has wrapped up, but not before welcoming a former Gossip Girl star for a surprise cameo in its fifth and final season. After a disastrous stint in London during You's fourth season, Joe Goldberg (portrayed by Penn Badgley) has spent the last three years back in New York with his wife Kate Lockwood (played by Charlotte Ritchie). With Kate's assistance, Joe manages to reunite with his son Henry, who was under the care of Dante (Ben Mehl) and his husband from the third season. However, Joe starts worrying that his violent tendencies might have been passed on to Henry when he and Kate are summoned to meet with the school counsellor following an incident where Henry punched his cousin. Joe and Kate sit down with Dr Val, who informs them that Henry needs to be suspended. However, Netflix viewers were left scratching their heads when they recognised the counsellor. Dr Val is played by actress Michelle Hurd, who Gossip Girl fans may recall as Laurel from the first two seasons. Laurel was a fashion photographer who worked closely with Blair Waldorf's (Leighton Meester) mother Eleanor Waldorf (Margaret Colin). Ambitious and eager to climb the career ladder, Laurel views Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen), who is interning at the company over the summer, as a potential threat. Fans of the hit series Gossip Girl and You were left stunned when they realised actress Michelle Hurd played roles in both shows. On Reddit, a user posted a side-by-side comparison of Hurd's characters, prompting one fan to exclaim: "She didn't recognize Dan Humphrey. Did she?" Another was thrilled with this revelation: "I kept trying to search where I knew her from. Omg thank you." Others couldn't hide their surprise with reactions like: "Omg no way", and a more skeptical viewer added: "Ain't no way." One particularly animated fan commented on how they reacted to seeing Hurd on screen: "Every time I saw her, I kept screaming into the screen saying 'Joe should just kill her cuz she did Dan's sister Jenny so dirty in Gossip Girl." But it wasn't just these dramas that had viewers recognising Hurd; she also portrayed Detective Monique Jeffries in the iconic Law And Order: SVU in the late '90s until 2001, and starred as Raffi Musiker alongside Patrick Stewart in Star Trek: Picard.
