Rumor has it, the actress who stars as Serena van der Woodsen in The CW's teen drama series makes the request because she gets bored with her character's story line and the drama behind the scenes.

Blake Lively has been alleged to have threatened to ditch The CW's "Gossip Girl". Heat magazine recently came up with a story that the 22-year-old actress has grown tired of the constant arguments behind the scenes, and has requested to be given a dramatic exit from the popular teen drama series.

"Blake has asked producers to kill off her character. She's tired of working on the show," so claimed a source. "It was great at the beginning, but she's started to get bored of her story lines and all the petty fights on set. Nearly all the cast members have had some kind of bust-up. Besides the fact that she gets to work with her boyfriend [Penn Badgley], Blake wants to leave."

Not stopping there, the source elaborated that the "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" star has made request for her character to be given a "dramatic exit" from the show. The insider moreover added that the blond beauty has even offered suggestion on how her Serena van der Woodsen should be killed off.

While the rumblings spread, Blake has been spotted getting together with boyfriend Penn for a day of shooting for season four, which will be aired on September 13. On Tuesday afternoon, August 10, she enjoyed a romantic stroll with the Dan Humphrey of the series through Central Park in New York City. The twosome were also seen eating lunch together on the set.
