Plus, what's to come for Willa and Connor's highly anticipated nuptials.
—only expected to stick around for a few episodes. After all, the only scene that she had read to land the role depicted a break-up between Connor and Willa, a young woman that Connor’s brash brother, Roman , once describes as a “hot-party-girl-who-wouldn’t-look-twice-at-you/hooker” in the first season.
While she might have seen Connor’s wealth as a means to pursue her own goals, Willa has taken a special liking to Connor, who is frequently overlooked as the black sheep of the Roy family. “Just seeing how her relationship with Connor evolved has also impacted my point of view about Willa as a person overall,” Lupe tells. “There’s a lot more tenderness and protectiveness and territorial, ‘mama bear’ instinct that I didn’t know was in her in the beginning.
From the moment we meet Willa in the first season, she doesn’t seem to be fazed by the snide comments that Connor's family makes about her past work. It clearly is transactional; there is a fiscal benefit to the relationship. Leading up to this season, she has artistic ambitions that she clearly couldn’t afford without Connor’s money. But I do believe that it’s evolved into something different, something that’s still quite vague, especially to the audience. I have my own feelings about it, but I think that will become more and more clear as the season goes on.
What happens between them in Episode 2 gives a really honest representation of the complexity of what’s going on between them; there’s a lot of nuance to their connection and it’s not as clean cut. You’ll see more of that in Episode 3 with their wedding. It’s not like an all-in kind of thing, which we all knew from the very beginning.
