So they would make Heather push 40 years old? They seem to cast on a whim. I guess she would have looked more like Muhney in age.

That is just so grimey to add that hungover/unprofessional insult to injury, that's the kind of dirt you wait to drag out when the fired actor cusses you out in print. How irresponsible to heave a scandalous blind item that reinforces old stereotypes (regardless of the actor responsible) on top of it just to further justify your actions. GRIMEY.

I think its a brilliant idea. If they get a good cast of characters they can pull it off. The show started to go down after season 6 but i do feel this last season was just as good as 6 and better than 1 & 2. But then again im older now. when i was 14 and they were 14 i could ~relate~ lol.

I was always a year younger than Emma and her peeps, so I grew up with those characters in every single way, and then they ended up graduating the same time I did, so I was extremely attached, and then BOOM, bunchanoobs. I'm really wondering where the show's gonna go with this. I'm hearing that there'll be four new characters and no one important has been let go yet. I say no one important because I hear Bruce the Moose was axed, and I don't even know why he was even in the opening credits.

I wonder if it would have killed them to do a spin-off after season 6 with Paige, Marco, and Ellie. Their college adventures ate up so much of season 7 and basically sucked big time, but I think they could have worked on their own. Emma/Manny/Lib not so much.

It sure is--and I don't buy for ONE bleeding minute that Kish woulda had substantially more scenes that had tobe cut because of someone's partying. Ridiculous. (I mean if Michael Nader recently,and half the cast of AMC in the 80s could do good work daily with a dollar bill rolled up their nose, c'mon... )Plus with the amount of Perez Hilton, etc, coverage of KISH wouldn't wehave seen the actors out and about and, you know, partying? I dunno...

I think it was 48 episodes, and they'll be two-parters, so in the end, there'll be 24 hour-long stories throughout.

I never quite understood the syndication package. It was on here for a few years, and they always started with S3 (in particular, Marco's coming out 2-parter) and stopped at the very end of S5. They always aired the eps in order, but I know different markets showed it differently. We got it stripped in daytime, but some other places have Sunday morning marathons and stuff like that. Emma and them graduated at the end of S7, which was in spring 2008, but since they completely screwed the show's timeline up with seasons six, seven, eight, and nine, they were the class of 2007 graduating in 2008. If that's the latest you've seen, then you're in for either a pleasant surprise or an utter shock as seasons eight and nine basically revolve around newbies.

season 6/7/8/9 tried to pull off a OTH, but unlike OTH they never made it clear what the time was. OTH pulled off s 1/2 as a jr year well and really pulled off season 3/4 as a sr year perfectly. those 4 seasons play out well as 2 years. Degrassi was screwed cuz they didnt get any new populer characters to take over the show and couldnt follow paige and them into college anymore.

Hopefully this works. It is a great show.

Is it true that you Americans get the show edited from us in Canada?? LOL (I always find it beyond ridiculous when the US can't handle the same amount of responsibly shown sex, etc, as poor little Canada can But we don't of course have the wacky fundamental bible crazed populace you have)

Exactly Carl. I hate to sound so over the top--but I honestly kinda do feel that having the characters written off in LESS than a year--making NO real attempt to integrate them into the canvas of the show (Hell, AMC did a better job at that with Kevin back in '97--granted they never wouldhave given him a kiss let alone a love scene), etc, for me really does negate a LOT of the good they did do.

Yeah, as horrible as Luke and Noah have been written, ATWT never got rid of them and kept them on the show until the end. Kish may have been written, got an actual sex scene, get to kiss, etc...but when they are fired less than a year and blamed for the ratings, what good did OLTL do?

GT looks good, but replacing VB? Tough. Pill. To. Swallow. I'm also one who thought Muhney looked too old for that part.

And I know it feels good to be the one who had scoop when nobody else apparently did, but you'd think he'd watch spilling the beans about all the inside info he gets. Your sources won't be so generous in the future. I can't believe that he's continued to talk about DC being ill when David hasn't shared anything about that himself. Disrespectful.

Oh, abso. They got better about it as the characters (and audience) grew a little older, but they would edit out some of the posters in the school, sometimes the dialog would be blacked out. Mostly, they just scrapped episodes there were too "controversial" and aired them years later, like Manny aborting her and Craig's baby.

He's not even consistant there... He was the one who "broke" DC being ill ages back, yet when it was officially announced DC was leaving, he went on and on about how stupid AMC was to fire him, etc, etc

AMS, randomly catching those Sunday morning mini-marathons was our first exposure to Degrassi: TNG. And I may have been confused but it seemed like they'd play, for example, an episode from season 3 at 11:00, and ep from season 4 at 11:30, then the next ep from season 3 at 12:00, like an unnecessarily confusing way to follow two seasons at once which I didn't really mind but then they'd randomly rerun certain eps, I dunno, it was a bit of a mess. What was crazy was learning that we were watching episodes that were already like 5 years old once we started catching it on The N. Then of course we started watching the ORIGINAL Degrassi and Spike, Emma, Snake, Joey and Caitlin took on a WHOLE new meaning, this weird reverse nostalgia-type thing. I feel so silly for it but I really do love that show.

yes and no. a lot of the editing that was talked about was actually products/posters blurred out or digi covered.

we didnt get the manny abortion episode in season 3, we got it in like a martahn during season 5.

the episode where paige is raped wasnt shown until the followup and they aired it as a special.

thats really about it. and by season 5 they didnt edit anything really.

it was very controversial here because it aired on a kids network, The-N. the parents tried to get it, along with South of Nowhere, pulled.

Wasn't it just last week that he mentioned DC saying to him at the Emmys that his "retirement" wasn't entirely voluntary or something like that? The thing is, his column isn't expressly a gossip column so some of these stars are under the impression that they're actually talking to a journalist journalist from TVGuide who won't run and tell their little off the record blurbs. I'd feel betrayed. Oh well, everything is feeling a little less serious these days when it seems like there won't even be a need for a Suds Report in a few years.

All My Children, ABC, A — Mathison moves to Canada!

• How do you like that Soaps In Depth-inspired, misleading headline? Toronto's Cameron Mathison told Suds Report that he moved to — wait for it — La Cañada, California! "Funny, huh?" laughed Mathison. "I thought so. But it's pronounced La Can-ya-da." Once a Canadian, always a Canadian.

Damn. Thought he was really moving to Canada, I thought a ray of hope came upon me, Ryape would really be gone from PV...UGH, La Cañada?! Well I wish Cameron luck moving there, especially if it's La Cañada Flintridge, what a hazard living there!! That's where the station fire was last year, better be careful in August-September. I would like to see Ryan BURN so badly, but not Cameron and his family.
