Season 1: JT. I’m sorry I know he’s a fave and I def loved him later on but he was just annoying to me.

Season 2: Spinner. Although one of my favorites in the later seasons, I just didn’t really like him this season.

Season 3: Hazel. Just felt really blah. I know alot of people are probably surprised that I haven’t said Ashley yet lol, at least with Ashley you still felt something, for me Hazel was just bland and not really memorable.

Season 4: Marco. Okay please don’t hate me for this but I make found him really annoying this season haha

Season 5: Peter, but just by default

Season 6: Mia. Just wasn’t really as likable as she was in later seasons

Season 7: Surprisingly no one, I think season 7 is one of my favorites.

Season 8: Allie.

Season 9: Allie

Season 10: Allie

Season 11: Katie. Just never really liked her.

Season 12-14 I didn’t see so I wouldn’t really know.

On my annual rewatch, Connor has really stolen the show for me. Idk if it’s the point in my life that I am at or just me coming to terms with being neurodivergent myself, but, I find his unfiltered honesty so refreshing. He is just who he is. I don’t think I have ever had too much of an opinion on him, but I do now.
And I know he doesn’t mean to be, but I find him hilarious.
Case in point:
Drew: “I would like to try out”
Connor: “You need to be smart”
D: “Are you saying I’m not smart?”
C: “Yes.”

They both are the absolute worst. I almost want to say hunter is worse maybe because Esme actually went through stuff like her finding her mom after she committed suicide. Hunter was forced into going into the mental health facility which helped him and Esme didn’t have anyone to help her like that. She is still absolutely awful though.

i really liked tori a lot. i thought she could have easily been a mean girl but instead she was actually super sweet?? she really was a girls' girl, forgave maya almost immediately for kissing zig but was mad at him instead. she was mean to maya about the beauty pageant thing but immediately apologized and was a good friend to maya and tristan?? i feel like we really missed out on having her interact with the NG class. i would've loved to see her around miles or zoe

School's Out and to a lesser extent, Degrassi Goes Hollywood and Degrassi Takes Manhattan.

Did anyone else find it super creepy that Craig decided to date/sleep with Manny not too long after saying he couldn't be with her because she reminded him of his sister?? Like, she really didn't look that different, just wore sexier clothes (which makes the whole thing even more gross imo)

I have been rewatching some episodes lately and falling down a total rabbit hole thinking about all the missed dynamics across different seasons. It is so fun to wonder how certain characters would play off each other if they actually crossed paths.

For example, I really feel like Ellie and Eli would have gotten along so well. They share that sarcastic, artistic, slightly edgy vibe and probably would have bonded over writing or music. Another great one is Marco and Imogen. Imogen has that wonderfully theatrical and eccentric energy, and Marco is such a sweet, grounded voice of reason, so watching them together would have been so much fun.

On the romantic side, what about Sean and Bianca? Both started out with that tough outer shell and fierce loyalty to the people they care about. I feel like they would have completely understood each other on a really deep level.

Who are some characters with zero or very little interaction that you think would have had great chemistry, either as friends or as a couple? Drop your thoughts below!

I feel like starting from season 10, the kids had way too much adult responsibility that didn't feel realistic. Like the Grundy Awards, Eli's play needing score music, Drew part of a political campaign, big set designs for the theater department. I liked in the older seasons where we saw realistic kid activities where kids were kids instead of the students doing jobs that the adult staff should have covered.

Kinda enjoyed the premise so I tried to do it and may have bumbled it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMm2HsjeNdg

ENJOY!!!

1) Ashley was originally the main character in her class, but they switched it to Paige and Craig in s2.

2) Liberty's entire pregnancy storyline.

3) The aftermath of Jimmy's shooting ended up being about Spinner.

4) Clare's storyline in Umbrella was originally about her, but they switched it to Eli in Part 2.

Like for all of them TNG, High,,Next class etc?

Also, when did Degrassi stop feeling like Degrassi for you?

Hi all! Sorry if this was asked/discussed before but I’m on my 50th (😂) rewatch, currently on episode 5 of season 6, where Darcy gets a little obsessed with posting pictures online and runs into stranger danger. Spinner is barely around and she spends most of her time with Peter after he joins Spirit Squad and they have that risqué photoshoot with Manny. I remember watching this so many times and thinking nothing of it, but why was Spinner never shown in Degrassi? I assume it’s for the plot but realistically Spinner hasn’t graduated yet, he would be walking the same halls with Darcy and Peter and surely would have noticed them spending so much time together but he’s only ever shown on screen when he’s driving Darcy home after cheer practice. And if we’re making the argument of “well he was picking her up way later in the day and not during regular school hours” why wouldn’t he just wait for her to finish practice in the gym or around the halls? And we still see Darcy and Peter interact in the halls with lots of students around…Spinner would be around too, or should have been.

Anyway I know none of this really matters when we can chalk it up to “plot line” but just something I was wondering about! Anyone else?

Erica and Heather Farrell

Declan and Fiona Coyne

Frankie and Hunter Hollingsworth

Happened to pause while Clare was sorting through her parents’ divorce papers - according to this, Clare’s birthday is July 22nd making her a Caner, and Darcy’s birthday is October 16th, making her a Libra!

Option 7: Emma and Sean’s emotional situation

Option 8: Ashley’s emotional reaction the next morning

Does anyone have an idea on why they completely scrapped the idea of Manny having a brother? He was mentioned once and then never existed again.. How did she go from the youngest sister and then to an only child.

Why do you think that change happened? So that Manny could potentially live with Emma later on or just because they didn’t want her to have a brother anymore?

1) Kathleen and the rest of her friend group cutting ties to Melanie after she blabbed Kathleen's secrets during that Sleepover from Hell.

2) Even though they are Canadian and they aren't as lawsuit friendly as Americans, I wish to have seen Lucy taking Wheels to court and sue him for every penny.

3) The entire Paige/Jimmy/Hazel/Marco/Craig friend vs Jay and Alex.

4) Peter and Ms. H. vs Degrassi's female population.

5) Adam vs Drew and Bianca.

6) The continuity of the Clare/KC/Jenna conflict.

7) The whole school vs Tristan.

8) Tori vs Maya and Zig.

I’m almost done with season 6 (I was crying my eyes out)
But I need to know if season 7 isn’t as good and if I should be prepared

The whole Manny thing and the rich boy car stuff really paints Peter to be this spoiled rich kid incel who only cares about himself.

I think what really changed my mind on Peter were all his scenes with Riley. He is so kind, understanding, and non-judgmental and that’s coming from a character that didn’t have very redeeming qualities before. I just find it so sweet that Peter never speaks poorly about Riley’s struggle and is super helpful and supportive despite his lack of knowledge on the topic. He doesn’t pressure Riley at all to change or come out to others and whenever Riley is struggling he’s always there to listen and give advice. Idk, I just always found that very sweet and redeeming considering how far the character had come.

Tried Shazamming it but it doesn’t work lol
