On the cancelation of the Gossip Girl reboot: 'I knew season three was going to be Luna's rise to fame and adding layers to her character. So throughout the entire process of filming season two, I was anticipating season three. And then it happened.'
. It isn’t until the eighth episode of season two, aptly titled “Y Lu’s Mamá También,” that more of Luna’s backstory is revealed — namely, the fraught relationship she has with her distant, narcissistic mother.“It was tough for me because I have an incredibly amazing relationship with my mom,” Moreno tells Refinery29 Somos. “She’s actually the complete opposite of Dolores . She champions me in every way.
In the season two finale, Luna seems on the cusp of stepping outside the shadow of her friends: She’s scouted for a modeling gig at the Met Gala and by the end of the episode, as some of the core group is on summer vacation in Rome, her image is plastered on billboards for a big fashion campaign. As viewers, we’re left to assume Luna grew tired of being a background player and was, at last, stepping into her main character era.
“I was really gutted,” she says. “I think he [executive producer and showrunner Joshua Safran] felt particularly bad for me because he knew it was going to be such an amazing season for Luna. And I know so many fans wanted to see that.”Moreno characterizes Luna’s evolution on the show as a journey of invisible insecurity turned into out-and-proud strength. “She finally stood in her power and realized she was much more than she gave herself credit for,” she says.
“I was actually a pretty good student, but then I started dating this guy and he was kind of a bad boy,” she recalls. “It was my first experience with a bad boy because I was always a goody two-shoes and I just fell into his world.”
