Oh snap. We've got some new info on the characters, Maya and Tori. Well Tori's last name
was changed from Hilson to uh...Santamaria. (I know right) Again, I will update as needed. Check back. They might decide to change Tori's name again... 


Maya Matlin is an upcoming new freshman (Grade 9) in the second half of Season 11. Maya is in the shadow of her older sister, Katie, and dreading Grade 9.

Tori’s parents have indulged her every whim with a stream of dance lessons, kid modeling jobs, and beauty pageants.
