Hollywood did not 'whip up' Dan's good guy character- if you'd read the books, you'd see that Dan is not the hero type, at all. The actor wanted to act Dan in a different way and asked the director to change it. I think people do like GG because of it's overly dramatic plot that somehow mirrors their own- but I disagree that the writers are making a satire of high school. Okay, maybe with Blair's clique- but the writers go deeper than that with the characters- they make them human. Rather than make fun of the viewers or the characters, they're making the character's plights the same as everybody else's- death, love and rejection. Also, I don't think Dan is the most lusted after character in GG. He might be the one you identify with/are jealous of most, but girls are pretty shallow and Nate is probably the most attractive guy on the show.
