He's always been quite good to you!? Is there something you're not telling us!? :lol:

But yeah, the Zane actor's been pretty much on on-point since his first episode. I'm not that big on Zane the character, though. Of course, that's not really fair for me to say because it's been a while since I've watched, but he's always had this air of superiority. Almost to the point of being insensitive to the fact that Riley was still in the closet.

Speaking of which, did the show ever decide if Riley is or isn't out of the closet at school? The last episode I watched, he was supposedly still closeted, but then he's having these intimate, heartfelt conversations in the middle of the hallway, and then he goes to the LGBT club meeting.

LMFAO!! Maybe I should have phrased that differently tongue.gif

Yeah Riley is out to everyone at school, I think he officially came out at school when he came out to the football team and then nominated him and Zane for King and King at the Degrassi dance.

I like Zane a lot because of how open he is & how he encouraged Riley to just embrace being gay and not hide it. Sometimes I thought he was a little to harsh with Riley and your right he was insensitive to him still being in the closet, I was confused with him at times because one minute he'd be fine with Riley wanting to keep it a secret & the next he'd find a reason to be upset with him.

IDK about anyone else, but I am rolleyes.gif at this "I found god" S/L with Fitz. I never cared about that guy much before anyways, seems like the show is trying to make him happen now all of a sudden. He was better as a bully. Plus I really don't care about Claire or Eli that much.

Loving the runaway Alli S/L

I feel like Jenna has been pregnant for like 18 decades, that baby should be out by now I think. Also can the show please stop letting that girl sing!! ph34r.gif

Decided to bump this up since I just read that today happens to be the tenth anniversary of our favorite little Canadian high school sudser (sorry, Edgemont!).

Some of my favorite moments...

I know! I read that the other day, that is something else. It's funny because his original character was sort of the "hunk" linked to Caitlin's original character. Then in DJH, Wheels became such a troubled character, and with those glasses he had this "bring a shotgun to school" vibe about him not unlike Rick of TNG.

Yeah, being from Toronto, it's pretty big news here. Wheels was almost like a tragiheroine type of character for Degrassi, but a male character obviously. It's really sad he seemed to have a lot of demons for a lot of his own life. The next time I run into "Joey Jeremiah", as he lives in the same town as I do, I'll be sure to give him my condolences.

I assume it must be still doing well in Canada. Nickelodeon should probably just get rid of Teennick because Degrassi is all they seem to have going for them outside of their All That 90s block. They picked up some Australian show "SLIDE" which only lasted one season with 10 episodes. As long as they have that station they will probably keep Degrassi as long as it's still in production. They're about to end three shows on Nickelodeon and they cannot show Sponge Bob all day.

Yeah, I haven't liked the long seasons, either. Honestly, they should have just expanded the show to 60-minute episodes instead of doing the telenovela thing in the summer. Switch hour-long episodes and do regular Sept-May seasons.

12 does look pretty interesting with Eli as an aspiring writer, Adam's romance with the Christian girl, and the new gay guy Tristan. Not crazy about Eli and Clare getting back together, as I hate Clare's granny guts and thought they were annoying together.

    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point.
