They have rehashed some of the storylines.

 

- Craig is the adopted kid with lots of promblems (even though he hasn't been drunk, a theif, or a liar yet) (Wheels)

 

-Craig hooking up with 2 decent looking girls (Ashley and Manny) (Joey hooking up with 2 decent looking girls)

 

-Ellie's drunk mother (Kathleen's drunk mother)

 

-Terri's abusive boyfriend (Kathleen's abusive boyfriend)

 

-Craig's abusive dad (Rick's Abusive dad)

 

-Ellie being suicidal (Stephanie being suicidal)

 

-Marco being gay (Snake's brother being gay)

 

-Liberty's learning disability (Joey's learning disability)

 

And the show is still going with no end in sight, so they can still rehash, and will rehash, some of the original Degrassi storylines soon.

I always wondered why he acted like he was handicapped or something. I guess this is why.

 

Whoever mentioned it; what's the kids of Degrassi Street?

Shane came back to school after his flying leap off the bridge. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't remember him being as bad off as they made him on Next Generation. Eh, I was young, my memory could be playing tricks on me.

 

And if we follow the junior high/high series titles, Kids of Degrassi Street should've been called "Degrassi Elementary". That's basically what it was. Quite a few of the original cast was in it, but their characters had different names.

Oh yeah. Lying about his relationships with Ashley and Manny.

He also stole a car.

your memory is correct, he was not QUITE the tard he is now on the newer season...he was just slower, but now it's like he can't do anything without help...but i don't know much about mental retardation so perhaps your mind gets worse the older you get?

 

I haven't seen the Ellie/suicide episode, but i don't really care much for her character anyway...

 

My point about Terri is that she's a pretty girl that thinks she's ugly although numerous girls and guys have told her otherwise and I can't stand girls like that...it's like she needs to get a fucking clue here already...I'd take er over Paige, Paige has a weird shape to her face, something just doesn't look right on her and it's not just her nose...

 

Ashley is definently the hottest though...

Girls like Ashley and Ellie piss me off.

 

They're pretty girls (Obviously too young for me) yet they make themselves look like shit (Ashley as a goth and Ellie always) with make up or the "Avra" look Ellie is doing.

 

And before someone asks, I found Daria on the N one night and stuck around to see what else was on.

You didn't know that?? Dumb jerk! You should be....kicked in the head!

 

 

BTW I wish Christian referred to the Christian/Jericho/Trish stuff from Raw as an episode of DeGrassi Junior High and not the O.C. Of course, the only people that would get the joke are Canadians who were teens in the 80s, and American kids who watched it every single day in their 7th grade health class. (me)

I don't watch the new ones. But I remember in Degrassi High he'd come back and be all "Kindergarten-ish". The episode with him jumping off the bridge seems like it would've been EPIC~! Wish I had seen it.

 

The only thing I don't like about the old show is the inconsistencies in the family life. One episode a girl's father comes to pick her up from prom because she wasn't allowed to go, the next her brother picks her up from a party where she explains that her brother has been the father figure in her life ever since "her dad died ten years ago". Not to mention the kid whose long lost father he dislikes because he abandoned him to play in a band, whereas a few episodes later his parents are both old and die in a car accident, leaving him to live with his anal retentive grandmother. HOW ABOUT SOME CONTINUITY PEOPLE~! But I understand how hard it can be when you have like fifty characters to write for.

That too. I guess Wheels has more in common with Craig then I thought.

 

And I like Ellie's "punk" look. I find girls who look like her to be attractive. Don't know why. I even thought Ashley was hot when she was goth, but only when she let her hair grow out. But I find her current look to be the hottest. It's those blue eyes.
