Lily drama (to hold you over until the real GG post is up tomorrow)

The Gossip Girl spin-off, tentatively titled Lily because it follow a teenage Lily van der Woodsen, is by creator Josh Schwartz who not only is currently doing GG, but was the mastermind behind The O.C. TvGuide.com the other day had this interesting news about the creators of Lily discussing the possibility of having the character of Lily interact with young versions of O.C. characters Kirsten Nichol and Jimmy Cooper, since it was also in the '80s that they were frollicking in California. Do you think this plot idea would make sense? And would it make you want to watch the show?
