Blair and Eleanor Waldorf imagery from Gossip Girl.
Although Gossip Girl’s pilot episode does a pretty good job of introducing its main characters and their key relationships, producers weren’t convinced about the actress portraying Blair’s mother. Compared to the rest of the best romance teen shows, Gossip Girl’s first episode accurately sets up some of its most popular and lasting dynamics; mainly, between the teenagers, but also those with their parents.
Florencia Lozano Reportedly Looked Too Young To Play Blair's Mother Margaret Colin’s Older Age Made More Sense For The Central Conflict Between The Waldorfs ✕ Remove Ads Although Florencia Lozano made a convincing socialite, the Independence Day actress unfortunately wasn’t a convincing mother to an adult daughter.
✕ Remove Ads Gossip Girl’s decision to cast an older actress suits Eleanor Waldorf better, as she is presented as a famous and well-established fashion designer. Additionally, it adds more conflict to the relationship between Blair and her mother. While a younger Eleanor choosing work over her daughter would be expected, having an older woman put her career over her family signals a deeper and lingering problem.
✕ Remove Ads When actress Margaret Colin re-introduced the character in episode 4, she was much more lighthearted, albeit heavily focused on her work.
