Wasn't he upset enough about something to throw furniture around or was that someone else?

If I recall, Malone was more interested in short term arcs rather then long term stories so it's possible he might not have had an end game in terms of a love interest in mind for Luna at first.

I recall that Luna had a crush on Max when he returns to the canvas, but it was unrequited.   

I think once Cord leaves, Max/Blair are tested and the show opts to go with them with Asa thrown in as a big obstacle with Luna waiting in the wings until she has a brief love interest of her own (Suede.. I think was his name). 

Mia Korf also quit the show suddenly in early 1993 and I recall that the writers had to scramble to re-vamp their Feb 1993 sweep plans since she was heavily going to be featured along with Max/Asa.

They were definitely playing Max/Luna in '92 from what I recall. A sort of Luna/Max/Blair/Asa quad IIRC. I believe they get together in the fall of '92 after Luna has been pining unrequited for almost a year, while Max is besotted with Blair. By the time Blair leaves I think they're set, though I may be wrong.

I believe Suede mistook Luna for his wife but I think he was always intended for Marty, which flopped. But I have to watch/rewatch a lot of this.

He was upset with Gottlieb in general, but I don't think that was necessarily about Max and Luna. At least I never heard that. A lot of the men were said to throw tantrums with Linda Gottlieb based on various aspects of the show (not that that's acceptable). The same seemed to happen with Tony Geary and Wendy Riche at GH.
