Known for her role as Alex (Selena Gomez) and Justin (David Henrie)'s mother, Maria was ecstatic to bring back the magic for the fans and for herself. She tells On The Red Carpet, "It felt like a day hadn't gone by. I felt so comfortable and I couldn't believe how many years had passed since we did the last episode."
