It’s something that both actresses bonded over on the set of their new go90 show, which is streaming now.
“I never dreamed that I’d get the chance to work with Monique,” Dianne tells us exclusively.
She adds, “It’s funny because I remember meeting her for the first time at the Disney’s Descendants premiere a couple years ago, and on set we spoke about how we both share such a special connection, both having experienced and worked with Kenny Ortega and on a Disney musical franchise.”
“I’m constantly reminded of how small the industry is and you never really know who you’ll be meeting and working alongside next,” Dianne shared.
New episodes will be released daily Monday through Friday, with the first three coming out on Monday, August 28th on go90 XO.
The third season will center on what happens after a senior is struck and killed by a car.
Shawnee High’s guidance counselor (Coleman) finds herself facilitating school-wide mourning that transforms into a hostile investigation as school divisions become clear, revealing the hidden animosities, unexpected alliances, and secret affairs that led to Grace’s (Doan) death.

Let’s be honest here, Lonnie is one of the best characters in Descendants 2 — we mean, she’s the ONLY girl on the fencing team at Auradon Prep, and rightfully so, we might add.
Dianne Doan, who plays the daughter of Fa Mulan and Li Shang, chatted with Girl’s Life about Lonnie’s rebel spirit in the film.
“Lonnie is such an independent individual that it was fun to play someone who, at such a young age, is so sure of herself and doesn’t let anyone tell her she can’t do something that she sets her mind to,” she says.
Dianne adds, “She’s a little bit of a rebel, but, she has a smile on her face in everything she does, especially when battling it out with pirates.”
There are so many reasons why you should love Lonnie, but the main one is this: She goes after what she wants.
“The main message that I portray in this film is, ‘You can do anything you set your mind to. Don’t let society, your gender or age stand in the way of what you want,” Dianne shares.
And she does!
