'Roswell, New Mexico' Exclusive: Heather Hemmens on why Maria De Luca is super fun, yet extremely grounded
Heather Hemmens' character, Maria De Luca, is probably the most grounded character on The CW reboot, 'Roswell: New Mexico'. As the best friend of Liz Ortech, played by Jeanine Mason, Maria holds an extremely important role in the show as she serves both as onlooker and influencer. Starring alongside Mason, Nathan Parsons (as Max Evans), Michael Vlamis (as Michael), and Lily Cowles (as Isobel Evans), Maria is one of the most compelling factors on the show.
In a crowd of characters who are clad with heavy dialogues and some treacherous pasts, Maria is surely a breath of fresh air. While speaking with MEAWW about the show, Hemmens shed some light on her free-spirited character. She explained: "What I love first and foremost about Maria is that she is a straight shooter. She is always the one that is going to tell you the truth, she's going to tell you exactly how it is but with love, you know, whatever it happens to be. But she will have your best interest at heart, and she is a very loyal and honest person."
