Claire Claire, I didn't know that they even made girls who looked like that anymore. She totally reminded me of the mousey girl in 3rd grade circa 1988 who got her big girl 4th grade haircut before school started ("OMG y'all, look at Lila! Go 'head Lila! lls") I think she's iffy as any sort of quasi-heroine/go-to girl. She's no Emma.

Speaking of hair, I agree that Riley (I promise I will try to remember his name now and not refer to him as Gay Greek :lol:) needs to cut that mop. There was a scene where he wasn't wearing a shirt with his hair and chest pubes all wet and frizzed, BARF. I'm surprised they cut Sav's Steven Cojocaru 'do, thought that would be his signature look.

And the thing is, Riley's hair was short all through S9, and he looked MUCH better. No clue why they let him grow it out again. IMO, Sav has always looked fine with both short and long hair.

:lol: at Lila! Claire is just...I don't know the word for it. It's suicide to go to some boards and say that you think Claire is boring. Because she's the only teenager on the show who acts like she's 35, she's automatically the best character in the history of Degrassi...ever. I've never known a Claire.

Wow, are you serious?? People not just like but LOVE Claire?? Hmm, well I guess she does represent a certain group of fans who aren't the 90210-type teen girls on the show. But she is so... yeah.

And I see that she's not with Bieber-haired dude anymore. He always reminded me of Marty from Joy Junction:

I love Holly J and Sav together, though don't understand how Holly J can make Sav believe he got a girl knocked up in one ep and then a few weeks later about to have sex with him in the music/dance room. Doesn't make sense. Riley needs to cut the mop, otherwise I like Zane. Drew totally could have been gay, but I do like him with Allie. Allie is my favorite character as I always side with the town bitch. Claire is a bore and Jenna is boring. I'll take a story with Drew/Allie/KC, thank you. Bianca is a cold hearted bitch, yes, but I don't like her that much, lol.

I love the Actor who plays Drew. The Actor playing Zane is alright, and I just think they need to get rid of the guy playing Riley and hire someone else!

LOL!

ITA...I also like Alli because she's a biotch, but she's also smart and has brains. A little on the trashy side sometimes, but she can also be vulnerable and sweet. She's my fave character right now.

When I watch Claire all I do is yawn so I'm surprised also that people like her! She became a little bit better once Eli came into the mix with her, but I still find her to be so bland. There is no edge to her at all for me.

I don't know if I should post the board name, but one board I post at semi-regularly is severely pro-Claire. I can sorta see why because everyone there sorta lets everyone's negative actions define them as characters, and of course, the worse thing Claire's done is let KC cheat off her math test. Ugh. I love Jenna simply because she got fuglyKC out from under Claire in the bitchiest way possible. It's unfortunate they made her boring in a quest to make her likable.

I'm not an Alli fan simply because she's dumb as rocks and annoying as hell.

Out of the current crop, I don't think I even have a favorite. I like the football guys, but they've been given little to do.

BTW, watching some re-runs right now from Fall 2009. Peter's drug storyline...wow IMO the actor did horribly with all of it!! I know Degrassi isn't know for it's stellar acting, LOL, but dang... And it seemed like such a rip-off from Craig's drug story from I think Season 6.

I loved the premiere and loved how all of the things Alli has done was brought up again, I thought all that stuff would be buried forever.

In case you guys didn't know Melinda Shankar (Alli) is leaving to film a show, the name escapes me right now, but she is coming back.

The Jenna story was kind of boring in this episode, hope it will get better.

This was better than anything from The Boiling Point.

As far as the little promo for the other episodes, all I can say is that I am shocked looks like a triangle with Drew/Fiona/Adam is on the horizon. Can't wait for that and Declan's return.

OMG! Is Melinda Shankar (Alli) off the show for good? sad.gif I hope not! I love her....I was shocked when Alli transferred schools! I hope this isn't the end of her story.

Great premiere...loving Jenna's story. LOL @ the Next Teen Idol stuff! So cheesy! But I like how it was handled. I'm glad they brough back K.C's mom, I thought we'd never see her again so I was pleasantly surprised. I think for sure Jenna will give the baby up for adoption, but who knows.

Claire...omg can someone shoot her?!

Right now I just saw the Fall promo....have to say I am not that excited. Lot's of WTF stuff in there that has me confused and angry. Maybe it will be different. Guess we'll see.

We posted at the same time...thanks for the info, I had no idea. I'm glad she's coming back!

    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.
