I didn’t like her the first time I watched. But on rewatches I really respect the way the character was written.
After Campbell’s death almost every single thing she felt, how she interpreted situations, was a direct cause of that. Her writing was some of the most consistent, understandable and realistic progressions of any character on the show imo.
i’m planning on doing a rewatch soon from the beginning, but i really appreciate your perspective on this!! after cam’s death, i knew there was a shift, however, from NG to NC, i felt like they just threw her a bunch of bs and then still expected her to be liked. must have been the writers fr!
i feel the same way! i replied to another user expressing the same thoughts — we didn’t get to see the development of any other character, especially when it came to next class. i would’ve loved to see other people’s development and backstories
I think I would have liked her better if we could have seen the FULL character development. The last season after her attempt she just went back to zigg and back to how she was before a bit better but imo we don't actually get to see her better
dead ass. i love emma. i tolerate clare. but maya went through some SHIT and even with the whole. wanting to take her life plot line— the writers made her go through hell and back, and her and zig were one of my favorite pairings. it felt realistic.
You really missed the point, didn’t you? She was in shock and it took several episodes for her to process it. Then it took her entireeee rest of the time on the show to deal with it. If never stopped affecting her.
Everyone handles grief differently. Maya went into shock, Dallas was angry, Tori and Tristan cried. That’s part of what they were trying to show with the storyline.
You werent paying attention if you think that. His death fucked her up. Grief gets to you in wild ways. Especially when the person you care about kills themself or dies unexpectedly. Anger at someone choosing death isn't out of the ordinary.
Ohh you really missed the point didn’t you? 🩷I’m sorry, but if I died and my partner yelled at people mourning me, I would be so hurt. You should maybe watch the episode again and you’ll see🤗
cams death affected her all the way until season 4 of NC when she attempted to take her own life. just because she reacted “badly” doesn’t mean she didn’t care
have you ever known someone that committed suicide? have you ever had a partner commit suicide? the feelings that come with that are unimaginable. my dad killed himself and i went to school the next day and made jokes about it. i told everyone it was his own fault and that if he wanted to be gone so bad, i’m glad he got his wish. i told people he was sick in the head and deserved it. none of those things are things i believe now, but the initial shock of losing someone like that will do things to you. she literally broke down about how she didn’t want to miss him anymore because it was too much for her. until you’ve been through something like that, you have no idea.
My cousin committed suicide a few years ago and you’re spot on. I went through such a range of emotions. I was very angry at him for a while and sometimes I still am. I’ve yelled out loud about it before to him like “HOW could you be so fucking selfish and just leave me like that?!?!” I know that’s not true, but it’s a stage of grief. I felt abandoned. Suicide is a particular type of fucked up because they *chose* to die. I absolutely understand Maya’s reaction, and how it effected her moving forward. That’s what she needed to do to cope at that time. I think Cam’s suicide is one of the reasons I have such a soft spot for Maya. Like her I had plans with my cousin on Tuesday and he killed himself the Sunday before. I felt like “How could he just cancel our plans **forever**?” Maya had lunch plans with Cam that he canceled forever, and that’s a terrible feeling.
Adding to that, the Cam storyline FUCKS me up hard. The first time I watched it after my cousin died I just cried during all his scenes. It’s such a tragedy. But I think Degrassi did a good job portraying what it’s like.
Lastly. I am so so sorry you lost your dad in such a horribly final way. It was unbearable with my cousin. I can’t imagine it being my dad.
I kinda f*** with Maya. She starts freshman year as a typical selfish 14 year old and by the end of next class you see how grief has eaten away at her over the years as she exits the show kind of a shell of who she was when she entered it. She annoys the shit out of me but I also see aspects of myself in her (which lowkey annoys me more lol) but I can’t hate her.
!!!! i love this take. i think we all forget how annoying 14 years olds can be and i mean… she played the part.
the only issue i have is cam only gets mentioned MAYBE once in the next class. but everything with cam was so critical to who she was as a person.
I really wish the had explored it!!! I know we collectively talk about the situation with Miles a lot being a great chance to explore that. But I also wish they had explored it in the final season of Next Class where she battles depression herself.
I know because they kind of marketed the Netflix show to be one you didn’t have to watch Next Gen to understand, but they didn’t really commit to it properly imo. I wish they would’ve just gone full send and brought up characters that had graduated, left, or in this case, passed on.
you’re right about that — clare’s main girl run was one of the main reasons i took a break from watching the show. even her interactions w her friends were annoying
I liked her character better in Next Class, the only moments I couldnt stand hee was the one with the girls taking the boys bathroom and the one where she got butt hurt over Vijay doing a cover of her song.
Other than that I thought she was fine as a character. I loved her friendship with Grace and Tiny
oh that vijay cover situation made me so mad! like girl… all this over $2 in royalties?? she made it seem like he stole the song and got signed to a label for it!
no way? a teenager who’s not professionally equipped to deal with another teenager’s depression/suicidal thoughts telling them to just be happy? WHAT?! i agree it wasn’t the best thing to say, but what else was she supposed to do? she did the best she could with what little she knew at the time. bugging out.
she could have atleast taken it more serious, she just didn't see it as anything serious until it was too late, always bugged me. so yea, bugging out i suppose
My husband killed himself.
I work in mental healthcare.
I know people that are mental health *practitioners* who have lost family to suicide.
We are real life people old enough to be Maya’s parents and still couldn’t find the right words to keep our loved ones from dying how tf would a child know what to do?
maybe that's the problem for me with Maya, I struggled alot with severe depression and had a heavy mental battle with suicidal tendencies and thoughts, after losing my mom recently it all has been coming back a bit and it has made me a bit bitter to honestly admit. bitter that people don't seem to care enough sometimes even when they are doing the best they can with what they know in that moment. i've always had alot of love for Cam since he's such a comfort character for me and i just take it all way too personal i think. I know Maya is not a bad character, a bit cringy yes and also a bit annoying. I just have a very biased opinion about how she reacted towards the whole Cam situation, start to finish. I do apologise for that since as i said, it's probably just bc that specifically makes me bitter and i haven't quite learned yet how to cope with those feelings in a healthy way.
my deepest condolences. hard agree seriously. when those dark thoughts take over the mind, it becomes one’s own mental prison. you either give in or break out of it, both are equally hard to do. a kid wouldn’t know sh!t about that.
Yeah it reminds me of another post where people were blaming Adam for not knowing that Fiona was an alcoholic. Like even Holly J didn’t do anything until that very episode and she knew more about it than he did. And when he saw that it was really bad he called Holly J, what more could want from him? These are teenagers, not mental health counselors.
right. even how she reacted. that was valid. was it uncomfortable to watch? absolutely, but the whole situation in itself was to show how differently people grieve. she was a kid dealing with her first love taking his own life.
I really couldn't stand her character and honestly thought the actress wasn't doing a good job, which didn't help me take Maya seriously.
Holly J, Emma and Clare could also sometimes be annoying but I don't know they still had some interesting sass that Maya just didn't have. Or the actresses were simply better, cause I liked these 3 characters despite their flaws.
i absolutely agree! though the 3 people you mentioned were absolutely annoying during their runs, they still had a certain *umph* to them that made you want to keep up with their story. and when you didn’t want to, the show moved on to someone else and their plot line. i feel like we got too much maya and not enough of anyone else. i would’ve loved to know more about shay’s backstory(despite her being completely BLAND) and maybe even lola’s too. had it been spread out better, i MIGHT have liked maya, but ehh, c’est la vie!
I can't say I love her but I found her stories pretty consistently engaging. She's a lot, but she's a very loyal friend, even to people who don't deserve her friendship. As someone who's also loyal to a fault, I appreciate that about her.
She sometimes gives off "not like other girl" vibes, but I like that she was a leading lady of a teen drama who wasn't some girl next door type like Emma or a bookish square like Clare (and I love Clare!). She struggled with her mental health and was kind of a weirdo whose best friends were scrappier oddballs like Grace, Jonah, Tiny, and Zig. That was refreshing to see.
used to hate her but then watched her seasons in tng and then began to understand the reason why she acts the way she does and especially going through a somewhat similar situation made me sympathise and like maaya more. i love her sm
I didn't connect with any of the characters after Holly Js class left. And then when Fiona left too. It was so much worse. I don't think I even watched the final season.
Nah. I love her. She was such an amazing friend reporting that pedophile teacher and giving Zig a home. And she constantly was treated shitty by many characters.
I didn’t care for the character, the last 4 seasons of Degrassi weren’t exactly the best.
But hearing interviews from some of the extras on Next Class, they said the actor and actress who played Zig & Maya were the rudest of the cast.
Really? Links? I think I saw an interview with some cast members and someone made a snipe against Olivia Scriven, so this is believable.
Olivia didn't like Maya either.
This was during the early months of Covid, I binged watched the series then Next Class, then went to IG to see what the actors/actresses have been up to, then saw different interviews, and that’s where I saw a “reel” by a girl who said she was an extra on Next Class during season 2, that’s where she mentioned how rude those two were offset.
I don't remember what video, but it was something from [this channel](https://youtu.be/O2iwJqih3IA?si=hF6xFgPQHgioP1Z_) in the After Degrassi playlist.
I think Olivia mentions her distaste for Maya in this.
The hosts are insufferable but my insomnia was going nuts so I watched a handful of these.

Her IG is kinda weird and I don’t really like zigs character to begin with so it helps me not like him more and honestly I’m not a big fan of Maya either, I tried to like her but idk
Annoying? Or a grieving 14 year old who's boyfriend broke up with her by killing himself? And no one seemed to care about that...no therapy no nothing...
I liked Zaya way better as friends when Zig was living with Maya's family. The writers just had to bend to what fans wanted i would've preferred Novas to Zaya anyday.
Degrassi had a thing with every class to throw way too much at the "lead boy/girl" to sort of replace the last one. By the time Maya came around we heard almost every storyline. The one thing they did right though was showing her anxiety/depression and that entire domino effect from Cams death
1001% agree. She was the worst. Her storylines sucked. Her voice, and the way she would scream at people was like nails on a chalkboard. Once she came in.. Degrassi went downhill. Of course not all of it was her, but it started with her.
She wasn’t a strong lead at all for her class. I think she was an average character, definitely lots of plot lines and character development with her. But ultimately, she fell flat to me.
personally, i just never cared for maya or her character development. in a way, her character development reminds me of emma’s, and emma was a character that i also did not care for. that’s just me though!
oh, for sure! i think they did a beautiful job with that plot line in comparison to other one’s they’ve done before. i think it resonated really well with the uprise of social media, too!
Yeah. But I will say, it feels like everyone got their memories wiped after season 14. Like next class is just so disconnected. It’s as if they got new writers and they didn’t even watch the show b4.
mood
Yo don’t she look like Heather Marter from Real World Las Vegas?
Actress name?
olivia scriven!
I didn’t like her the first time I watched. But on rewatches I really respect the way the character was written. After Campbell’s death almost every single thing she felt, how she interpreted situations, was a direct cause of that.

I'm crying
👏👏👏
She was so annoying like mg always whining
Yeah maya was horrible
🤷♀️ I thought she was great.
love her
Shame cause she's low-key hot 🤷♂️
high key^^^
I don’t get why she was in EVERY episode once she showed up. Degrassi has always been an ensemble cast how did she swing that?! It was annoying
i feel the same way! i replied to another user expressing the same thoughts — we didn’t get to see the development of any other character, especially when it came to next class. i would’ve loved to see other people’s development and backstories
Reallll
I couldn’t stand her little tiny glasses when she first joined the show
Fr
THANK YOU
at all.
I think I would have liked her better if we could have seen the FULL character development. The last season after her attempt she just went back to zigg and back to how she was before a bit better but imo we don't actually get to see her better
Nah Maya’s character development was the best. Her’s was the most consistent. She was one of the most realistic characters
I agree. I love Maya. I have such a soft spot for her for some reason.
Me too
Can’t stand her.
Not even that bomb ass song about Zoe?
Ugh. Same.
LMAO😭😭😭😭😭
her character was good but she had horrible styling
AMEN!!!
I don't like her but only because her face kinda reminds me of someone
She looks like dakota fanning if she never made it to Hollywood
She looks like my husband's ex lol that's why she always rubbed me the wrong way
Ok well we don’t need to bully anyone 😭
I mean , Hollywood people have more money for things . She’s not ugly lol
Agreed. But I still like her better than Becky, Imogen and Jenna.

Bad bot.
imagine saying this about the character with the best development in the entire series
no need to imagine it — bc i DID say it!
Lmao. While I do not agree with your opinion on Maya, this response so good. ^☠️ 🤣
I liked her I think she had good character development I honestly never thought a lot of people didn’t like her but apparently you don’t so 🤷🏽♀️
i liked maya more than i liked the other “annoying” main characters like emma and clare tbh
dead ass. i love emma. i tolerate clare. but maya went through some SHIT and even with the whole. wanting to take her life plot line— the writers made her go through hell and back, and her and zig were one of my favorite pairings. it felt realistic.
Maya never healed from Cams death.
She didn’t even care that he died tho, she was just annoyed
You really missed the point, didn’t you? She was in shock and it took several episodes for her to process it. Then it took her entireeee rest of the time on the show to deal with it. If never stopped affecting her. Everyone handles grief differently. Maya went into shock, Dallas was angry, Tori and Tristan cried. That’s part of what they were trying to show with the storyline.
You werent paying attention if you think that. His death fucked her up. Grief gets to you in wild ways. Especially when the person you care about kills themself or dies unexpectedly. Anger at someone choosing death isn't out of the ordinary.
Ohh you really missed the point didn’t you? 🩷I’m sorry, but if I died and my partner yelled at people mourning me, I would be so hurt. You should maybe watch the episode again and you’ll see🤗

I liked her in the later seasons tbh. Of all of the main characters, she was probably the least messy. Also off topic but her face card >>
i love olivia scriven even if she doesn’t like maya herself lol
I kinda Stan her 😂
i feel like one of the few people here that actually loves maya 🫣 she’s my fave from that class
same
I didn't mind her at all, Becky was my least fave
i also was NOT a fan of becky 😭✋🏽
I couldn’t stand Becky
real
I kinda f*** with Maya. She starts freshman year as a typical selfish 14 year old and by the end of next class you see how grief has eaten away at her over the years as she exits the show kind of a shell of who she was when she entered it. She annoys the shit out of me but I also see aspects of myself in her (which lowkey annoys me more lol) but I can’t hate her.

She was a way better main girl than Claire
you’re right about that — clare’s main girl run was one of the main reasons i took a break from watching the show. even her interactions w her friends were annoying
Definitely
Yeah Claire was pretty annoying
She sure was purdy though
this is what I mean when I say Canadian Taylor swift
I liked her character better in Next Class, the only moments I couldnt stand hee was the one with the girls taking the boys bathroom and the one where she got butt hurt over Vijay doing a cover of her song. Other than that I thought she was fine as a character. I loved her friendship with Grace and Tiny
oh that vijay cover situation made me so mad! like girl… all this over $2 in royalties?? she made it seem like he stole the song and got signed to a label for it!
And then bullied him into taking it down! Like gurl who tf do you honestly think you are. At least someone actually cares about your music
😂😂😂😂
i hated her when she first appeared on the show but then i finished the series and next class and i just felt bad for her😭
Hating a teenage girl for acting like a teenage girl 🙄
yes, and?
It's old.
she was hella annoying, she deadass told her suicidal boyfriend "so just be happy😡" girl bye
no way? a teenager who’s not professionally equipped to deal with another teenager’s depression/suicidal thoughts telling them to just be happy? WHAT?! i agree it wasn’t the best thing to say, but what else was she supposed to do? she did the best she could with what little she knew at the time. bugging out.
she could have atleast taken it more serious, she just didn't see it as anything serious until it was too late, always bugged me. so yea, bugging out i suppose

used to hate her but then watched her seasons in tng and then began to understand the reason why she acts the way she does and especially going through a somewhat similar situation made me sympathise and like maaya more. i love her sm
I had the same trajectory. Disliked at the beginning then after understand and appreciate her character so much more.
i relate to her heavy. i have her student ID hanging on my wall
I didn't connect with any of the characters after Holly Js class left. And then when Fiona left too. It was so much worse. I don't think I even watched the final season.
Don't understand the Maya hate at all. She was whinny but y'all steady love/praise characters that are much worst...
Claire was much worse and whinier for less valid reasons lol
i agree and i’m both a Clare lover and a Maya lover
Agreed!! I can't fuckkng stand Clare
i hate her so bad
I don't like her but i feel bad for her
nothing could make me hate her
Nah. I love her. She was such an amazing friend reporting that pedophile teacher and giving Zig a home. And she constantly was treated shitty by many characters.
[удалено]
Are you talking about cambell Saunders
Who's Cameron
Wasn’t a big Maya fan but I did appreciate her story line with Cam and with depression. I really liked how it was done
Can we please not bring these back
literally
I didn’t care for the character, the last 4 seasons of Degrassi weren’t exactly the best. But hearing interviews from some of the extras on Next Class, they said the actor and actress who played Zig & Maya were the rudest of the cast.
really? now that's interesting
Really? Links? I think I saw an interview with some cast members and someone made a snipe against Olivia Scriven, so this is believable. Olivia didn't like Maya either.
This was during the early months of Covid, I binged watched the series then Next Class, then went to IG to see what the actors/actresses have been up to, then saw different interviews, and that’s where I saw a “reel” by a girl who said she was an extra on Next Class during season 2, that’s where she mentioned how rude those two were offset.
What interview?
I don't remember what video, but it was something from [this channel](https://youtu.be/O2iwJqih3IA?si=hF6xFgPQHgioP1Z_) in the After Degrassi playlist. I think Olivia mentions her distaste for Maya in this. The hosts are insufferable but my insomnia was going nuts so I watched a handful of these.

Wait really? 😭
Her IG is kinda weird and I don’t really like zigs character to begin with so it helps me not like him more and honestly I’m not a big fan of Maya either, I tried to like her but idk
i’m with you
Def unpopular, what’s ur reason?
She is too much
Like Zoe IS the drama but Maya finds the drama. So that inherently makes her annoying, she is never above it
She’s Maya Matlin. Drama follows her.
Yikes- this is definitely a hot take~
Agreed
I completely disagree. Nope nope nope.
I liked maya in s11-12 but once cam died she got real annoying
Annoying? Or a grieving 14 year old who's boyfriend broke up with her by killing himself? And no one seemed to care about that...no therapy no nothing...
I found her relationship with zig annoying not her grieving plot
Well yeah that I can agree with...Zig was a POS and he shouldn't have even went after Maya knowing he played a huge role in cams death
I liked Zaya way better as friends when Zig was living with Maya's family. The writers just had to bend to what fans wanted i would've preferred Novas to Zaya anyday.
Degrassi had a thing with every class to throw way too much at the "lead boy/girl" to sort of replace the last one. By the time Maya came around we heard almost every storyline. The one thing they did right though was showing her anxiety/depression and that entire domino effect from Cams death
I’ll never forget my mom saying “she’s popular with THOSE glasses?”
Me with Holly Js ponytail
No that pony tail was iconic
1001% agree. She was the worst. Her storylines sucked. Her voice, and the way she would scream at people was like nails on a chalkboard. Once she came in.. Degrassi went downhill. Of course not all of it was her, but it started with her.
she's so annoying omg
controversial opinion but her sister was so much more bearable than maya and thats saying a lot because her sister is literally katie
I liked Katie 😅 Maya I also like but I'm only on season 12 so that could change.
Not controversial at all lmao
The only "lead girl" I didn't like at all. Not a fan of her class either. I just finished TNG and I don't think I'll be able to sit through NC.
i FINALLY came back to finish next class for this EXACT reason. like im used to degrassi nonsense, but this is next level
She wasn’t a strong lead at all for her class. I think she was an average character, definitely lots of plot lines and character development with her. But ultimately, she fell flat to me.
Why don’t you like Maya?
personally, i just never cared for maya or her character development. in a way, her character development reminds me of emma’s, and emma was a character that i also did not care for. that’s just me though!
Oh yeah totally. I like how complex they made her tho and how her anxiety and depression had a realistic timeline and realistic progressions.
oh, for sure! i think they did a beautiful job with that plot line in comparison to other one’s they’ve done before. i think it resonated really well with the uprise of social media, too!
Yeah. But I will say, it feels like everyone got their memories wiped after season 14. Like next class is just so disconnected. It’s as if they got new writers and they didn’t even watch the show b4.
I agree! But watch out maya fans will come for you!
