Brush with Greatness 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2003 Okay, I don't regularly watch Degrassi: The Next Generation, but I caught it Wednesday and what to my wondering eyes should appear but fuckin Wheels. That's right. Derek Wheeler. Anyone else watch Degrassi: TNG and know if Wheels has been on before? Or anyone else just have good old school Degrassi memories?

treble 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2003 He was on the Pilot, wasn't he, although that may not be considered an actual episode, since it was more of a reunion movie. I haven't watched much of TNG, but Snake and Spike got married, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2003 In America it's broadcasted on Nickelodeon's red-headed older step brother Noggin. Unless you have digital cable you won't get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDH257 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2003 He wasn't in the pilot. He was in the episode where Spike and Snake got married, but he only had 2 lines, if any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treble 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2003 Maybe it wasn't the pilot, then, but I do remember seeing him show up at the door, say something to Lucy (apologize for nearly killing her, probably) then leaving. I guess the reunion movie doesn't count as part of the new series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brush with Greatness 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2003 WTF, I thought Wheels killed Lucy in that car accident. Or did he just kill the other family. It's been awhile since I've seen "School's Out". And yes, Spike and Snake are married. However, they appear to be back to Christine and Archie (not sure if Snake always goes by Archie but I don't think they ever call Christine Spike). And Snake has cancer. But yes, on this most recent episode, the Zits/Zit Remedy did revive the classic "Everybody Want's Somethin'" while on the drive home from bowling. It was just awesome. Perhaps one of the greatest TV moments of all time. Anyways, if you were a fan of the old Degrassi but haven't checked this out yet, do so. I watched the first few episodes when it came out and it wasn't great, but lately when I've been checking it out it's been pretty awesome. In fact, one episode Emma went to look for her father (who as we all know is Shane - the fucking psycho who jumped off the bridge when he was on LSD and has brain damage as a result). Just seeing Shane was cool. In fact, Shane looks alot like Jonathon Torrence (Jono from Jonovision and the wigger on Trailer Park Boys). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treble 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2003 No, Lucy didn't die, she just was injured really badly in the car accident (I remember having this conversation with complete strangers while in 'line' to get into Raw a few years back). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2003 whatever happend to the slut girl from the original series. She has a younger dorky brother also, and then their mom ended up winning the lottery or something. I think her name was stephanie. Wheels went to buy condoms for their special night but the plans were foiled by her mother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brush with Greatness 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2003 Ah, yes, Stephanie. "All the way with Stephanie Kay." And her brother (half brother?) was the very dorky Arthur, who often hung out with Yik. That was until Yik turned all badass and started hanging out with the tougher crowd (Luke, etc.) Stephanie was just in Degrassi Jr. High and I believe she was shipped off to private school (or so was the excuse) by the time they hit senior high.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2003 All the way with Stephanie Kaye!!! I was the BUTT of jokes in my 7th grade health class, which was, no lie, 30 straight days of watching Degrassi Junior High, because I thought Stephanie was more attractive in normal clothes than dressed as a slut. Lousy 7th graders I was so much better than them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brush with Greatness 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2003 Hey, I'm with you the Czech Republic. Thought she was hotter when she wasn't dressed like a slut. Anyways, wasn't it Stephanie Kaye that went on the date with the soap star and almost got raped/molested? I vaguely recall that episode as I think I've only ever seen it once or twice. Also, I'm blanking here, because I'm sure they did but I just can't remember, but did Degrassi ever do a major rape storyline? I remember one on Northwood (damn, that was a good show too - anyone remember it) but I can't remember one on Degrassi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
