Lux's hard life in foster care and seven very terrible foster homes, made her completely self-reliant. In some homes, she had even had to fight off sexual advances from some of her foster fathers, or physical abuse from some of the foster mothers, including being slammed into a wall at age five and the foster mother lying about it to a social worker by saying Lux fell off a swing. Because of this she was bounced around foster homes her whole life, and many times the family was just looking for a paycheck from the foster care system and didn't really care anything for Lux. This means that she had to go through a lot of expensive surgeries in her childhood, making her seemingly unadoptable because "the hospital bed isn't really a great selling point." During one of her times in the hospital, a nurse named her Lux (a Latin word meaning light).īy the age of three, Lux finally becomes adoptable, but wasn't adopted because most families were looking for infants. After she was born, on the advice of her mother, Laverne, Cate put her up for adoption, unaware of the fact she had a congestive heart condition (atrial septal defect, a hole in the heart). And we’re trying to figure out what the thing is, what ABC wants.Lux was born in September 1993. “What are the shows people are going to respond to that feels like it’s something that can be from my heart? How do you go from writing about a foster kid who feels abandoned and loves her mom but hates her mom and is ashamed of her past to…will the cupcake store open in time?! I dunno, we’re out of batter. “Mostly, it’s how can I do something that I care about as much as Life Unexpected and how can I do it for ABC?” Liz explains.
Rest assured though, Tigelaar will not enter into her next venture lightly. But yes, there’s some stuff I’m starting to think about.” “Right now I have ideas and have been talking with Greg Berlanti about doing something,” she tells TVLine. But was it a satisfying sendoff for those of us who’ve spent the past year loving LUX? Absolutely.Īnd if you love Liz, you’ll love this: In June, Tigelaar’s development deal with ABC Studios begins and she’s already got some amazing new stuff in mind. Was it the ending she’d have done had she had two more seasons to tell the LUX story? No. To me, Liz honored everything we’ve grown to love about Life Unexpected in tonight’s goodbye. It’s even harder to believe that in such a small amount of time, when countless shows come and go, leaving little to no impression on viewers, Tigelaar’s passion project was able to impact countless lives, mine included, and maintain the spirit of yesteryear’s WB greats (I’m talking Everwood, Gilmore Girls - both shows centered on modern family values with brilliant writing). Thinking back, it’s hard to believe that our Life Unexpected adventures began just one year ago - to the day, in fact.
Life Unexpected Season 3 series#
(For those who don’t remember, The CW gave the series notice that it would not be receiving a back nine episode order, cutting the story-telling time nearly in half, and possibly for good. All together now… aI truly believe that despite the massive time constraints placed on the brains behind LUX, the series’ final hours were poignant, moving and provided lovely little send-offs for each of the characters we’ve grown to love over the past two seasons. And - wait for it - Cate and Baze, first side by side watching the ceremony, then hugging their daughter the graduate (she even calls them mom and dad!), then kissing. Tasha (Ksensia Solo) and Jones (Austin Butler), no longer together because he’s now with Lux, who finally feels like a normal girl.
Math (Austin Basis), Cate’s BFF and their baby on the way. Lux is graduating, giving the class commencement address, and the whole fam-bamily is looking on. Cate and Lux were finally able to see eye-to-eye, bonding like they’ve both so desperately needed to over the series’ run, thus sending us two years into the future. The two agreed to stick together, but Cate ran into Ryan’s very preggo (with his baby) ex-Julia (Jamie Ray Newman). Cate and Ryan (Kerr Smith) discovered they’d suffered a miscarriage, in addition to the fact that Cate is infertile. In a senseless act of viciousness, Lux spilled the beans to Baze about Emma’s (Emma Caulfield) affair with Daddy Baze, causing the end of those two, as well. Here’s your 30-second LUX finale breakdown: Lux (Britt Robertson) and teachertutorboyfriend Eric (Shaun Sipos) split in hour one after Cate (Shiri Appleby) and Baze (Kristoffer Polaha) found out about the star-crossed lovers and flipped out.
