There's always a patented status hierarchy and the "Gossip Girl" universe. Blair had her minions, and Luna and Monet seemed to almost have an assistant-like role to Julien — with an edge, of course. Where can we expect their arcs to head, and how might they develop more as individuals as the series goes on?
Savannah Lee Smith: Well, they're definitely going to develop more as the series goes on, like you said. Yeah, you can definitely expect Monet and Luna to get into familial relationships and romantic relationships, and just all those things that kind of build a character as the season goes on. But in terms of them [having] assistant-like roles, I would say that's how they present, but they're really, behind the scenes, kind of pulling all of the strings. I think there's power in that, and that's kind of the difference between the minions from the old show.
Which characters or actors from the original show would you both love to do a scene with?
Zión Moreno: Who would you do a scene with? Well, I would love it if Blair came back. I'd love to do a scene with her. And maybe Chuck Bass, too. Maybe have a little romantic relationship with Chuck.
Savannah Lee Smith: That'd be fun.
What about you, Savannah?
Savannah Lee Smith: I don't know, probably Blake or Serena because I look up to Blake Lively as an actress. And I've always just appreciated her work, so I think I could learn a lot — and it'd be really fun.
