Members All My Shadows Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 I saw a clip of Anya giving Riley his makeover...that hair looked down-right HEINOUS right before they cut it off. Just...ugh. Gross. But now he's cute again. Has his acting gotten any better? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 I still find him cringe-worthy to watch sometimes, but I think he's definitely gotten better. He did good in the scenes where he was trying to explain to his mom that he is gay & this is not just going to go away. I love the actor who plays Zane! He has always been quite good to me.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 He's always been quite good to you!? Is there something you're not telling us!? 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 LMFAO!! Maybe I should have phrased that differently 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted March 13, 2011 Members Share Posted March 13, 2011 IDK about anyone else, but I am 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!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted October 14, 2011 Members Share Posted October 14, 2011 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... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8bNq5cT7i4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsHkrIm7P0o 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted February 18, 2012 Members Share Posted February 18, 2012 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted February 18, 2012 Members Share Posted February 18, 2012 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 18, 2012 Members Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) They had Wheels come back once on TNG with all of that unresolved animosity from School's Out and I wish they'd fleshed it out more.

Members All My Shadows Posted October 23, 2012 Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 Has anyone been tuning in? I'm understanding that a lot of the "new" characters have been phased out for another round of "newer" characters, correct? Still wondering why in the figgity frack this show is still on, 12 seasons and about 300 episodes later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wales2004 Posted October 23, 2012 Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 23, 2012 Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 I am sooo behind I wouldn't even know where to start. I seriously feel like getting caught up would require me to sacrifice all other television for a good few months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 The first replacement of new characters graduated last year and they brought in a whole new round of characters. Season 12 has been ok, but I am not a fan of the 40-45 episode seasons. Makes it too hard to catch up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted October 23, 2012 Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
