Human Characters

''(alphabetically)''
  • The Rodriguezes: Maria Figueroa Rodriguez (Maria), Luis Rodriguez (Luis), and daughter Gabriella Rodriguez (Gabi)

  • ---In 1988, Maria and '''Luis''' fell in love, which led eventually to a Marriage , in which Elmo was a Ring Bearer . This unexpected plot twist, in which Maria ends her truly evident crush on David, is regarded by many longtime fans as a moment when Sesame Street Jumped The Shark .


Maria ( Sonia Manzano ) and Luis ( Emilio Delgado ) are not married to each other in real life, but Sonia who also writes for the show, reflected the story of her own personal romance, marriage and birth of her baby "Gabriella" into the plot line for Luis and Maria. Since Sonia was pregnant and married, but Maria was neither, the show paired the two Hispanic characters (Luis is Mexican, Maria is Puerto-Rican), so that Sonia could continue to act without taking maternity leave, and the writers did not have to write an episode about Maria being an unwed mother or have to explain why the character was absent.
