The top-secret appearance, which fans have been clamoring for since Ali Mills Schwarber sent Johnny Lawrence William Zabka a Facebook friend request in the season 2 finale , delivered a heavy dose of nostalgia while also driving the season 3 narrative forward: Thanks to Ali, Johnny, and Daniel Ralph Macchio are no longer fighting!
Over the course of two interviews, Shue spoke to EW about revisiting Ali as an adult, that near-kiss moment with Johnny, and why she's done making fun of The Karate Kid.
How did this all come about? I was working with this wonderful director, Dan Trachtenberg, who directed the pilot for The Boys. You have to be on Cobra Kai! Then I sat down with the three producers and writers who created it, Jon [Hurwitz], Josh [Heald], and Hayden [Schlossberg], and they were so lovely and similar to Dan — super Karate Kid fans. Were you aware of how often the character had been invoked in the first two seasons? I watched the whole first season after [the producers and I] met, and I was incredibly impressed with the writing, the structure of it… I wondered how Ali would even fit into that story.
It didn't feel like there was a place for her. But then when I saw how they actually structured the show and the sort of beautiful immaturity of the characters, who haven't really grown up as much as you would hope in 35 years, I can see why Ali would still be a part of their journey.
Were Cobra Kai fans approaching you before you agreed to be on the show? Yeah, I definitely had a lot of people always asking me whether I was going to be on the show. I definitely got asked the question every single time. What was it like to work with Ralph and William again?
It was so fun to realize that all of our chemistry was exactly the same. My chemistry with Ralph was the same, the same with Billy — it was odd!
It was literally like a high school reunion; it felt like no time had passed. Like none at all. We kept reminiscing and laughing, constantly reliving the first Karate Kid every minute between takes. Nonstop reminiscing about our experience and laughing about what a great movie it turned out to be. Over the years, you know, you get asked about it so much, and as a way to talk about it on talk shows and things, I started to have this sort of story line about making fun of it just a bit.
Because at the time, Karate Kid , it sounded like, what kind of movie is that? I would even make fun of Ralph, like, "He didn't look like anyone who could win a karate tournament! We kind of laughed about that a lot and how we were always giving each other crap over the years.
