Michelle Trachtenberg Compares Her ‘Gossip Girl’ Bad Girl To Her ‘Mercy’ Nurse

On Monday nights, you might know her as the evil and conniving Georgina on “Gossip Girl,” but actress Michelle Trachtenberg is more than just TV vixen. Michelle recently joined the cast of NBC’s “Mercy,” a hospital drama, where she plays Chloe, a nurse with a heart of gold.
“Chloe is a first time nurse, first time in a hospital, really saving lives and she’s someone that’s wanted to do this her whole life,” Michelle explained to MTV News. “So she’s got a lot of dreams and aspirations.” Sounds like her two alter egos come from opposite worlds!
So, how does the actress manage playing both roles without getting her wires crossed? “They’re completely night and day, so one never really falls into the other,” she said. “It’s very easy to keep them apart.” Talk about well-rounded!
