A Blessed Reminder: The Bold Type's Sutton Was In Gossip Girl

Meghann spoke to Teen Vogue in 2019 about her lil stint on GG, admitting it didn't go as smoothly as she'd hoped.

“I was doing [the Broadway musical] Next to Normal and I had just gotten an agent. [Gossip Girl] was one of the first handful of auditions that I had gone on,” she revealed.

“It was my very first television job. It was my first time on a set.”

She said she was “terrified.”

“I broke one of the shoes,” she said.

“In one of the scenes, I was typing on a computer and I was slamming on the keys. I didn't know it at the time that you had to be aware of sound and you're supposed to fake stuff so that they can [hear the dialogue]. I had no idea. It was so embarrassing the way that I behaved.”

Of course, the small slip up didn't make any difference to Fahy's career (take note, gals - it's never the end!) and the rising star later got her big break on Freeform's breakthrough series The Bold Type. 

Described as a modern Sex And The City, the narrative follows three women in their 20s working at Cosmopolitan-esque fashion mag, Scarlet. 

While the show is fictional, the relatable themes struck a chord with fans as Sutton, Kat and Jane manoeuvred their way through relationships and discovering their sexuality.

With several key episodes delving into important topical issues including sexual harassment and systemic racism, The Bold Type (which came to an end in July 2021) was as educational as it was an escape for young people to peek inside another, often glamorised world. 

There's also no denying Meghann's character Sutton was a crowd favourite with her flair for fashion and unique, likeable nature.

Meghann's Gossip Girl throwback also comes as a brand new reboot of Gossip Girl hits screens. 

The revamped 2021 narrative follows the lives of the next generation of privately schooled Upper-East Siders, eight years after the original Gossip Girl website went dark.
