Happy 32nd birthday to Shanice Banton who played Marisol Lewis on Degrassi!

Hating Adam is such a red flag 🚩 I can’t think of any reasons why someone would hate him beyond transphobia

They’re one of the best degrassi ships of all time and the best NC ship without a doubt

They’re in my top 5 favorite ships on the show. I feel like they understood each other best. I’m sad that they never interact again post s4.

You can criticize TNG for constantly playing into the Jezebel stereotype and hypersexualizing the black girls without playing into old fashioned black community endorsed misogynoir. β€œWhy did every black girl on Degrassi have to be a hoe/whore/slut?” isn’t productive when

He was annoying at times but not enough for me to hate him

24.11.2024 22:54 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I don’t even hate him but he’s just boring. I don’t know why the writers randomly decided to make him a teen dad

She was so micro aggressive towards Shay and Northern Tech in NC1 & 2 and I think she should’ve been called out for that. I liked her abortion storyline and Mola was cute. Would’ve loved to see more of her and Saad

My absolute favorite character! The one that I can see myself in the most.

I love her and I love her style. I liked her storyline about her chronic illness and her fear of death. I think they could’ve done more with her character. The writers were dead wrong for how they handled her and Zoe.

He deserved a lot better when it came to storylines. I loved him and Shay and I liked his friendship with Zig too

He’s one of the worst characters on the show. I don’t like how some people try to use his mental illness as an excuse for his terrible actions. He also never showed any remorse for what he put Maya through. Hated his relationship with Yael.

The only time I really liked her was in NC mainly the last two seasons. She never faced any harsh consequences for how she treated Maya or for the Degrassi Nudes situation. I did think she was an entertaining character and I liked seeing her come to terms with her sexuality

I liked him and I wish he got to have more of his own storylines. I felt like he was just reduced Miles sidekick most of the time even though I do like their friendship. Him and Goldi were cute too

I really liked his character and he was one of the only characters that kept NC interesting. Wish he had male love interests other than Tristan

I liked him at first but after s12 he became very annoying and unlikable. Maya was too good of a friend to him. Miles deserved better too. He should’ve been called out on his biphobia as well.

He had potential to be a good character but got worse as the show went on. He was a shitty boyfriend to Maya and he also doesn’t get enough hate for how he treated Saad. I did like how he supported Zoe during her trial tho

She’s one of the best friends on the show and deserved better friends

I don’t trust anyone who hates her tbh. I can relate to her and I think her arc is realistic and made a lot of sense. A lot of people criticize her for being in other people’s business or being β€œannoying” without taking her trauma from Cam’s death into consideration.

I love him, he’s amazing and one of my favorites on the show. I wish he had more of his own storylines and plots.

I really wish he didn’t leave in s12 and got to graduate with the minor niners. He was good friend and had a lot of funny moments too.

She one of my fav degrassi characters. Her character development is one of the best.

24.11.2024 01:57 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

She’s a really great character and I loved seeing her grow more confident as the show progressed.

She didn’t contribute much to the show but I think it’s weird that some people act like she’s worst for lying.

I liked him but it sucks that his whole character revolved around Riley. I would’ve been interested in his seeing family life or seeing him develop friendships with other characters

24.11.2024 01:32 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I don’t have a strong opinion on him but I think he deserved better storylines

He’s gross and should’ve never dated Alli. I hated the way he treated her

I love her and it will always make me mad that the writers didn’t give her the storylines and screen time she deserved. She was a great friend and very funny. Even with the lack of screen time she was a stand out character to me
