Wilcox is still acting in TV, and the character of Mrs. She was replaced by Deborah May in the series. Ali’s mom was played by Shannon Wilcox in the movie. It was a heartwarming episode, although it did have one of the only character swaps in the series. However, the most celebrated returning character from The Karate Kid Part I was Ali Mills (Elisabeth Shue), who after being teased in previous seasons, finally appears in season 3. The first episode of season 3 was dedicated to him. Even more heartbreaking is that Garrison died five months after that episode was telecast. It’s an emotional irony when the Cobra Kai Karateka who yelled “Get him a body bag!” at LaRusso gets taken away in a body bag. The original Cobra Kai gang from The Karate Kid Part I, Bobby (Ron Thomas), Jimmy (Tony O’Dell), and Tommy (Rob Garrison) were reunited with Johnny in season 2 in one of the most poignant episodes of the entire show – the death of Tommy.

She has been seen in seasons 1, 2, and 4, which is more than she was seen in the latter two Karate Kid films. Some of the original characters, like Lucille LaRusso (Randee Heller), Daniel’s mom, have appeared throughout Cobra Kai.
