The Roswell Reboot Just Booked A Grey's Anatomy Star

Jeanine Mason's Liz Ortecho is still very much interested in science like the Liz Parker of the classical Roswell, as the character will play a biomedical engineer who returns to her hometown of Roswell. While there are similarities, this Liz, beyond being the daughter of undocumented immigrants, is also an adult. So fans shouldn't expect this new retelling to be a coming of age type tale. While high school is not the focal point of the potential series this time around, it does come into play as Liz runs into her high school crush and learns he's actually an alien with superpowers. A lot of the original series hinged on the dynamic of Liz and Max, so that probably won't change. It is worth mentioning though that Max was not directly named to be the alien in the character description provided by Deadline, although at this time we have no reason to speculate it'd be anyone different.
