The 39-year-old actress starred as Summer Roberts in the hit drama series - which originally ran between 2003 and 2007 - and Rachel has expressed her interest in joining a reboot of the show.

She shared: "I know we talked about definitely getting together personally, as a reunion ... all of us getting together. I think we have spoken to some already, everyone's on board for that.

"But a reboot would be awesome.

"I think that's in the hands of [creators and executive producers] Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. There's still a ways to go, so maybe they'll figure it out! That'd be fun."

Despite the show's success, Rachel doesn't actually have many vivid memories of the series.

The actress has recently been watching old episodes and she feels as though she's been "discovering" it for the first time.

She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "I've learned that I actually have zero memory and don't remember most of the things that happened on this show. So I'm kind of going through this with everyone else, re-watching it, discovering it.

"I wouldn't even say rediscovering it, [I'm] discovering it for the first time!"

Rachel - who has a six-year-old daughter called Briar Rose - also thinks that motherhood has changed her attitude towards the show.

She explained: "I'm watching it now as a mother, and I'm seeing all of these things that I'm definitely not OK with as a mother, so that's been eye opening.

"But more than anything it's just been a lot of fun."

Rachel joked that she'll wait until her daughter is in her mid-30s before she introduces her to the series.

Asked when her daughter will be allowed to watch the show, she quipped: "When she is 35 or older. I'm going to hold her off from it for as long as possible!"
