Bright Eyes

Did anyone else want to get on that bus with Jake, Kris and Zak? Seriously, assuming Michaela will be going to live with them soon, a show with them plus Zoe would be much better than anything the cast as it currently stands could offer.

MUSE's version of Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You

I was thinking the exact same thing about Steph being the lead of the show. I guess that's one good reason for her leaving, LoL. I'm from a suburb of Toronto ... Markham. A Go Bus ride away. Joey Jeremiah lives about a 10 minute drive from me, actually. I've met him a few times at gas stations and convenience stores, LoL Montreal is a must one your 18, since it's legal to drink one year earlier in Québec. When I lived in Ottawa for school I would road trip it there a few times a year just for the hell of it. Whistler is on my list. Have you ever watched Peak Season? Basically, the Hills set in Whistler. It was pretty good. I've been to New York a few times in my life, but only as a kid. New York really is just a bigger Toronto. It's dirtier and less polite of course. It's basically a law that everyone knows someone from Degrassi around here. For instance, my best friend went to elementary school with Manny. She now goes to the same University as Holly J. So through her, I've met Holly J, super nice girl. My friend met Drake when he was still Aubrey at a concert both just so happened to go to. Apparently, he had a big chip on his shoulder and thought he was the ish. She was disgusted, LoL.

Is it wrong that I felt for Steph when she had that mini-breakdown in the girls room? I actually really like her, such a shame she didn't continue on with the show. Wheels' accent is so weird. Also, never in my history as an Ontario, Canadian did I ever have an exam in elementary school. Here, we have schools going from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 8. Then high school is from Grade 9 - 12 (used to be 13, then OAC for that one weird as year.) Weirdness.

Does Shane go mental on the original Degrassi or is that something they wrote in on TNG?

Again, I can't stand Steve McFadden's 'acting.' It's just not pleasant to watch at all. Very irritating. But yes, the woman that plays Rainie is very good. Does Carol have any friends?

Kathleen is such a bitch. I hate her. She is scum. I wish Catilin would have slapped her. I also hate Yick. TNG totally did the same story with Hazel and not wanting to be, what was it, Muslim or something?

This is shallow of me, but I wish Kirkwood would have kept Leon around. Other than Ryan, he's the only hot guy on this show. Le sigh.

Carl, for whenever the episodes at The Box take longer than expected, you can download them at this site: http://s9.zetaboards.com/CraneEstate/index/ You'll probably have to register.

This episode was so damn fun. The ending with Nathan/Cain was delicious. Seeing Viv peppy is giving me the creeps. My Betty was fabulous as always. I totally saw some good chemistry between Cain/Faye. Seeing Cain clearly feeling guilty/saddened is a very refreshing change.

They said he's 15!

I looked it up. It says Tyson Talbot (Billy/Jason) was acquitted less than two years later on the grounds of self defense.

Was Steph on Degrassi High? I don't remember her at all. And WTF? Why aren't Caitlin and Lucy there?

I cannot look at L.D. She reminds of a suicidal headcase that I know. I think if the actress that played Steph got some acting lesson's, she could be legitimately good. But man, what a slew!

SFK, I'm Canadian so I actually watched the Junior High/Degrassi High stuff first in numerous reruns. But that was when I was a kid, so I don't remember specifics. Anyway, Snake just said Joey gives him a hard time. WTF? You're his BEST FRIEND! LoL Wheels kind of went through a complete 180. He's kind of the popular jock now, when we all know he's nothing close to that later. Poor guy. Was he ever referenced in TNG?

Uh, Caitlin is a year younger than Joey? More confusingly, how are the twins friends with Lucy and Steph when they are in Grade 7? Steph did say she never talked to them. Continuity error!

Aw, Joey and Caitlin danced in the second episode. MEANT. TO. BE!!! The supercouple of DEGRASSI! I really like how they have people like Snake and Spike in the background, knowing how integral they'll become later.

I really enjoyed the Steph scenes with that Louie kid today. Too bad, Louie isn't someone they thought about keeping around because he was instantly likable and that conversation he had with Steph about having cancer twice and advising her not too push Frankie away made him more likable than Cheryl, Duncan or any of those lame Costello's have ever been. Marquess just doesn't seem to have a clue. Except, he does write some good stuff for the McQueens. Like always, they were a highlight today. However, I really don't like the actor playing Des. Thank God he's gone next week.

Okay, the singer for the Junior High theme sounds like Robin Sparkles! LoL

Ah, they look like they are all on YouTube in good condition AND, most importantly, all in ONE video and not separate 10 minute parts. How the hell am I supposed to go to bed now?

Totally never knew this little tidbit about how the show came up with the name for Spike's baby, who we all know as Emma. ... In 1987 Degrassi Junior High won an International Emmy in the Children and Young People category for the episode "It's Late", where Christine "Spike" Nelson gets pregnant at the party believing she is ready to have sex with the new kid, Shane. Spike's baby was named Emma, to commemorate the award, and Emma wound up being the inspiration for the spin-off series, Degrassi: The Next Generation.

So, could it be Jacqui that Rhys will be getting with? From new spoiler(s), it looks like that may be the case. Other than Heidi, I am just not feeling the Costello family at all. I pray the O'Connor's are a better effort.
