Degrassi: It Goes There (kind of)

Spoilers ahoy

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 18:23:09 GMT

Dear Me! I was watching the N last night a Degrassi marathon as everyone knows. And I saw the sneak peak of where Marco is making out with a female, I was perplexed. Is it pressure from some homophobic who evers or what. Don't make Marco straight please!
You (makers of show) can make him bi but please not straight. No not that there is anything wrong with straight or gay or anything for that matter, but it may send an insensitive message to the gay fans of the show. Making them think it's NOT ok to be gay. And that makes me sad for today's youth. I think they can be what they want to be.

Shenae Grimes Gets Ready to Trade Toronto for L.A.

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 20:06:30 GMT

"If you want to live in the zip, you must live by the code," declares a promotional campaign for the much-anticipated 90210.

Shenae Grimes shouldn't have a problem living up to that motto. After landing the coveted lead role of Annie Mills, based on Brenda Walsh (the character made famous in the original Beverly Hills, 90210 by Shannon Doherty), the Toronto-born actress is moving from her 416 area code to the hip zip code.

The Gemini-winning actress won the role on the show (which will air on Global TV this fall) after the producers' first choice, Hilary Duff, turned down the role. "It's a dream come true," Shenae tells Hello! Canada. "I'm going to miss Toronto," she adds. "But I haven't decided if I'm going to be living in L.A. full-time."

Shenae, who has been interning at Fashion Television and whose hobbies include singing and dancing, will leave her role as Darcy Edwards on Degrassi: The Next Generation at the end of season eight, which she's currently filming (she joined the series in season five).

"It's time to move on," says the 18-year-old natural beauty. "I had an amazing time on the show and made life-long friends. I won't forget anyone from the Degrassi universe, but the show has a lot of new kids, and it's their time to shine now." Degrassi producer Linda Schuyler says they'll be sad to see her go, but "we wish her all the best."

So how would Shenae like to see her character, Darcy, written out of the CTV series? "I'm going to leave that to our talented writers," she responds. "The character has survived so much just this past year, so hopefully she'll have a happy ending." Indded. In this past season alone, Darcy has been the victim of rape, experienced severe depression - and survived. Shenae is in survivor mode, too, these days. "I'm over the moon about landing 90210, but reality is setting in. At first I was jumping up and down, but now it's like, 'Oh, I have to do,'" she says with a laugh.

While the bright lights of Hollywood are luring Shenae to the land of opportunity, she admits she's both nervous and excited. Is her family concerned about the trappings of both fame and fortune that have led many a young star down the wrong path? "My father is a little worried about me living in crazy Hollywood," she concedes. "But I have a good head on my shoulders."

As for a preview of what the expect on the new-and-improved 90210, Shenae is keeping mum, but she does know that the primetime soap will be "cooler, sexier, and more provocative" than even the hit 1990s drama was. "We're gonna take this show to a whole new level."

What do y'all think of Shenae Grimes (Darcy) leading the cast of the Beverly Hills 90210 spinoff?

703

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 23:23:36 GMT

So why did CTV decide not to air 703 Love is a Battlefield
are they just gonna pretend that the episode never happened?
So then where does that leave Alex and Paige for Canada?
Are they going to remake the whole episode or something? :P
Seems unlikely, but I think they know that people were dissapointed.
but yea, what's their reason for not airing it?

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 03:53:23 GMT

I recorded it onto my HD camera, so the quality's not the best, but it's better than nothing. I only managed to get the first five minutes of it, and missed the very beginning where Cassie answered some questions. I also got a Degrassi Love in 30 Seconds commercial which I will upload.

Lauren Collins in Curve magazine

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 17:41:00 GMT

For all you Lauren Collins fans out there, I’ve got some titillating news! The article for Curve has published and it’s out in stores! If you do not have a subscription to Curve Magazine, have no fear. You can pick up this month’s copy at any Barnes & Noble bookstore. Flip it open to the table of contents and you’ll see my name, in bold, and the page, 38 to be exact, to turn to.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that Lauren was give a center spread. As I said before, she was incredibly candid during the interview and I enjoyed it very much. I’m glad that I was able to help spread the word about her, not only as an actress, but also as a person.

Check out the article when you get a moment and let me know what you think.

Here’s a little teaser to spark your interest:

Degrassi: The Next Generation is the most watched domestic drama series in Canada, and the highest rated show on Nickelodeon’s “The N” in the United States. Degrassi, often described as a “cult classic,” garners rave reviews from critics for its lack of inhibition when it comes to exploring such “taboo” topics as abortion, rape, alcoholism, domestic violence and yes, even homosexuality, among teens. And really, what would a hit teenage television series be without a little lesbian drama?

Lauren Collins, who plays the quick-witted, somewhat superficial and sexually flexible Paige Michalchuck, talks with Curve about Degrassi’s appeal, her first lesbian kiss and the possibility of playing future gay roles

I'm looking for a particular screencap - it was of Ellie from Anywhere I Lay My Head, when she's in the hospital with her mom after the fire and she's in that green room.

I've been digging through here and google for an hour and any help finding caps like that would be awesome.

and any link to awesome screencap sites would be awesome too ;D

daniel clark

I stopped watching degrassi: tng during the fourth season because daniel clark left. Right?
I was looking at the official website to see whatever happened to him. He came back in the sixth season? Right?
Then what, he goes to jail and he's not in the show AGAIN until he comes back and lives on Emma's couch? Does he leave again at the end of the season? Is he in the seventh season?
His picture wasn't on the front page of their website.
I LOVE his character. LOVE. Does anyone out there agree with me? Has he been in any other shows or movies?

I would watch it more if he was there.
thanks!

I just found out about this Hallmark movie called The Russell Girl. It's going be on CBS at 9/8 c

Info Request

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 21:09:36 GMT

Newbie here, and in need of information. I'm working on a fic, but I haven't been able to really watch the show since around What's It Feel Like to Be a Ghost. What I need is either directions to where I can find the following information or someone to answer these questions:

What's been happening with Ellie since WIFLTBAG? I know she's back with Jesse, but I need specifics of her storyline.
What happened to Joey after Craig left?
What were the names of the songs Craig wrote about Ashley, Manny, and Ellie?

Thanks for your help.

Sat, 05 Jan 2008 21:43:12 GMT

Daniel Clark(Shawn) Is in Juno. It's not a huge role. I don't even remember him having a speaking role. He played a 'jock'. If he did speak , it wasn't a lot.

By the way,Juno a good movie. So even if he is in there just few times,with little speaking. You'll still enjoy the movie.

So muh for the switchover

Mon, 31 Dec 2007 19:09:40 GMT

No big switch your channels over and such.

The last show on the old N was the Season 6 finale of Degrassi followed by an edited version of the music video for Love Song a top 10 hit by Sara Bareilles.

The first show on the new N was an episode of Instant Star No big shindig there either.

The cable guide has 223 listed as just Noggin and 224 as the N.

A new Roleplay

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 21:05:45 GMT

Looking for a small, active roleplay with mature players and nothing remotely close to OOC drama? universityhouse might be the place for you. Focusing on the graduates and set at the beginning of season 7, University House is looking for active members.

Interested? universityhouse.

Sun, 02 Dec 2007 06:20:48 GMT

Guidelines for a potential new RP:
Pre-703 (since I'm all about the Palex)
Namely focusing on the graduates, meaning that yes, it would be small.
It would be done over LJ, but AIM would be key for OOC interaction and for doing logs.

Interested? I'm also looking for a co-mod/admin if this actually gets off the ground. Beyond the requirements listed above, I have few other ideas, except Palex will not end.
