Sure, but other than that, there really isn't any other similarity. "A" plays a much larger role than Gossip Girl. You can take out GG in the show, but without "A", you wouldn't really have Pretty Little Liars. Plus, "A" is a lot more threatening, malevolent, scary and dangerous. Gossip Girl is pretty much Dan Humphrey trolling behind his own computer. Although PLL and GG may be somewhat similar with GG and "A", PLL is certainly no ripoff of GG. Besides, GG doesn't "haunt" Upper East Side. Actually, sometimes in the show, the characters use GG to their advantage. Additionally, GG isn't really considered much of an antagonist; the character is just someone who posts up gossip and rumors on a website with sardonic side comments, whereas "A" breaks into their homes, somehow steals what they have, and even gets them into near-death experiences.
