Most surprising comebacks

The “Gossip Girl” guys

-

The “Gossip Girl” cast has scattered to the showbiz winds since the show ended in 2012. Fortune smiled first on Blake Lively, who has a nice little career in movies. Leighton Meester had a featured role in the recent Broadway production of “Of Mice and Men.” But the boys of “Girl” had to wait a few years for their manly genes to kick in before finding the appropriat­e showcases for their talents. This fall, Chace Crawford, who was the cheeky Nate Archibald on the prepschool soap, returns to TV on the ABC Sunday-night series “Blood & Oil.” Crawford plays Billy LeFever, a young man who moves with his wife to Willison, N.D., in search of his fortune after the biggest oil discovery in American history. His former New York City roommate, Ed Westwick (the hedonistic Chuck Bass of “Gossip Girl”), plays a charming Sunset Strip serial killer, Kent Grainger, on the Los Angeles period piece “Wicked City,” a Tuesdaynig­ht drama on ABC. “Blood & Oil” premiere:

Sept. 27, 9 p.m., ABC “Wicked City”

premiere: Oct. 27, 10 p.m., ABC
