Leighton Meester joins her husband Adam Brody in Nobody Wants This season 2 as an influencer in need of a Rabbi for her baby's naming ceremony
During the episode, Noah (Brody) makes a comment about Abby (Meester) not being his "type" to girlfriend Joanne (Kristen Bell)
Creator Erin Foster tells PEOPLE how that line came to be and why she loves it
Adam Brody's wife Leighton Meester makes a highly anticipated appearance in Nobody Wants This season 2, and hidden within the episode is a cheeky line that the Erin Foster, who created the show, was dying to include.
In episode 5, Noah (Brody) is the Rabbi at a baby-naming ceremony that happens to be for an elementary school nemesis of Joanne (Kristen Bell), influencer Abby (Meester). While he's at Abby's beautiful mansion ahead of the ceremony, she enlists his help getting some content for her followers — though he's not quite up to snuff at that — and Joanne sees it happen.
"Cute photoshoot. She's pretty, I'll give her that," Joanne tells Noah, who quickly brushes it off, "Eh, not my type," he says.
Foster tells PEOPLE she "really, really wanted [Brody] to say, 'She's not my type'" during Meester's episode.
"I was like, this is a meme," Foster, 43, says. "Literally, I was like, the internet is going to love this."

Foster also reveals that it was her co-showrunner Jenni Konner's idea to cast Meester, 39, as Abby.
"The character had been written, and then Jenni had thought Leighton would be a really great fit," she explains. "First, we asked Adam [for] permission ... Because maybe they don't want to work together. Who knows? He said, 'Absolutely. It's her choice.'"
Once Meester was on board, Foster says she "went back into the pages and tried to beef up the role a little bit to create something better."
"We're like, give the people what they want," adds Girls alum Konner.
Foster previously told PEOPLE that Meester is "a comedic genius" and "blew our minds" on set. "We were like, 'Do like we write more of her in?'" she said.
"She's done comedies, but she's so funny in this," Foster said. "I don't know, it was just a different energy that I'd never seen before and [she] just killed it. She's so good."
Meester also had only good things to say about her experience on the show. "Obviously, I am a huge fan of the show for many reasons, but I've been so lucky to get to know everybody involved, ... [and they've all] been so kind and welcoming," she told PEOPLE. "I was really taken by everybody's kindness and their talent, and how that whole show came together."
"I know that everyone has so much fun on it, and when I went on, I mean, it was one of the most fun times that I've had on a set."

Brody also gushed about getting to work with his wife, whom he married in 2014 and shares two kids with, as he told PEOPLE what the best part of working with Meester was at the L.A. premiere of season 2.
"Driving to work together and getting a little alone time," he admitted, calling it "sort of a date night."
