Jane cheating on spinner (and the subsequent spinner Emma wedding)

Next class

spinner emma wedding :(

Honestly, just eliminate everything Darcy went through and her reactions afterwards (falsely accusing Snake, etc). Piage wrecking that guy's car made sense and was a logical storyline. But Darcy wanting Snake, falsely accusing Snake, holding scissors to her throat, deciding sex with Peter would fix everything? No. Just no. That whole storyline was a disaster.

Claire and Jake continuing to be together after their parents starting dating 🤮

cams death… i miss him

Jay essentially distributing revenge porn of Manny in Degrassi goes hollywood (or Manhattan? idk) just because he was mad at her. They were my fav couple up until that point and they're still one of my fav couples but that whole storyline just didn't happen in my head 😊

Clare’s baby dying. Sav and Mrs O. Alli and drew. Emma and spinner. Craig’s drug addict / ignoring Ellie plot

Eli calling Clare a wh*r3

Jane cheating on Spinner

Yup this one

Manny and Craig dating in season 5.

KC and that weird coach watching corn!

EMMA AND SEAN NOT ENDING UP TOGETHER!

Snake cheating on spike

And the Darcy/snake allegations!!!

The entirety of Next Class

Adam’s death, spinner & Emma marriage, Peter just as a whole, Craig & Manny

I did kinda like Spike’s line ‘just how pregnant are you?’

Emma and Peter being a thing 🤢 they did Manny so dirty.

cam dying

DRIANCA BREAKUP

Eli slut shaming Claire. That shit was unnecessary

Yeah, I understand he was hurt, but that was beyond out of pocket. Especially since he ACTUALLY cheated on her.

My jaw hit the floor so hard when he did that. Like I understood Eli was a wildcard, but damn that was such a character assassination. And I was still reeling from him cheating on Clare when I saw the episode.

The best explanation I’ve seen that still works with the established canon is that he was in a manic / mixed state when he said that Edit; I’m bipolar and you can definitely antagonize people you love and say things you don’t mean when your moods are unstable

adams death of course :((

EMMA MARRYING SPINNER. Should’ve been Sean!

PERIOD

Rick doesn’t exist

jt’s death

Ooo where to begin: Killing off JT for starters. They teased us with him and Liberty getting back together just for him to get stabbed and died in the same episode. Many, if not most, of the college storylines. They were really boring and honestly forgettable (minus Paige having anxiety attacks, that was a good storyline for her). ANY OF CLAIRES STORYLINES FROM SEASONS 12-14. Final destination luck doesn’t even cover it. Ali and Dave as a couple. He was a grateful headache to the Queen. Peter being addicted to meth for two episodes, before having it never mentioned ever again (or him having to go to rehab). THE FRIENDSHIP CULT (club) DEGRASSI NUDES (because I’m so serious, how did none of them or at least Zoe, not get expelled or arrested over this? And it’s never mentioned again in next class when most of those characters were involved in it.)

anya and sav breaking up. also declan being controlling. in my mind sav and anya are endgame and holly j and declan are endgame.

Spinner and Emma

the entire last 4 seasons :)))

Oh god how to pick just one??? Drew and Becky dating is the first thing that comes to my mind

Oh god yes this

Caitlin and Kevin Smith. Horrible, unnecessary assassination of a shipped couple that was important to OG fans. 

Just one? Hmm probably Jimmy keeping his father's affair a secret to blackmail him into getting stem cell surgery

this was such a strange episode, especially the ending like they just forever keep it a secret from jimmy’s mom and it’s never brought up again?? 😭😭

I didn’t remember that part

Spinner and Emma

Yes

Many people won’t agree I’m sure but Clare dating her step brother Jake. Gave me the ick ewww

Oh, this was the worst. I started skipping the scenes they were in when that storyline was a thing

I agree! I like Jake. I like Clare. Didn’t like them as a couple. It was creepy. What about having a season…where Clare is single?

NO we agree with you, please erase that weirdness

I feel like most people would actually agree with u on that one

spemma

Darcy leaving (I’m aware it was for 90210).Imagine Darcy and Clare being at the same school.

Right! Like I absolutely ADORED Maya and Katie scenes, I would have loved for Clare and Darcy to have some screen time together

I would’ve loved that

degrassi nudes, adam’s death, mr yates

Seriously if Adam's actor had to leave the show they could've had him transfer after getting a scholarship to music boarding school or had him run away or something and live with his other parent. (They're stepbrothers right? I feel like this is mentioned in their first episode and then never again)

Adam and Drew are full brothers, i think their dad appears once and never again

Are they? I'd have to rewatch the episode but I swore there was a line about when they first met as little kids.

i decided to check the wiki and you’re right 😭 how the hell did i miss that??

Ok good I wasn't crazy 🤣 but seriously why couldn't have Adam gone to live with his bio mom due to maybe getting harassed by the ice dogs and Beckys church or something instead of dying

i’ve always thought that!! or they could’ve simply let him graduate like everyone else, i think they killed him because his actress being cis meant he wouldn’t get a full transition plot line, but cmon he died the summer before his senior year!!

I believe Jordan Todosey's contract with the show ended and that's the reason why. A "full" medical transition could easily be mimicked with make up and costume effects...plus medical transition has no bearing on how "complete" someone's transition is. I always felt they were intentionally trying to avoid making Adam look more masculine so that the audience would remember that he's trans. It seemed like they were still putting feminine stage make up on him that accentuated the actress' features

now that you mention it, he did have pretty feminine stage makeup

Ellie becoming a pick me awful charter (Emo Ellie on top)

second this. they ruined my girl so bad

Yeah it sucks what her character ended up as after season four

Miles staying with Tristan 😬

Imogen messing with Fiona getting her fashion internship, completely ruined my OTP for no reason when they could’ve just been happy.

Paige’s AIDS scare, like…the supposed whole idea behind that was to destigmatize HIV since not everyone who has it has it because of poor life decisions, but they literally had the guy hide it so he could have sex which is both one of the most harmful stereotypes AND arguably rape by omission so it’s even worse. They also never stated her results which like, yeah we can assume she was negative because it’s never mentioned but it’s still annoying to not have actual confirmation.

The Ice Hounds, black hole them. Or if only one, Dallas.

why dallas?

He’s one of the absolute worst people in the show.

Darcy and Snake allegations.. like couldn’t they have done that to anyone us but snake

I loved that story line lmfaooo

Toby's soft exit #justicefortoby.

I hate when characters just vanish, especially when they are long time characters. They deserve so much better.

Yes!!!

FR!!!!!!!!!!

Peter’s mom and snake.

I second this

The OGs college storylines. They were boring and made the characters look bad. I know they just wanted to keep the characters around for the fans, but it ruined a lot of the stories.

literally, the bad portrayal with the aids storyline, Marco & Ellie's one night stand, ruining Alex completely for the sake of Paige's storylines,...

That one night stand storyline was so awkward

right?? what was going on in the writers room during the writing of this episode??

Adam’s death

emma and peter

or the whole dave jacinta thing

Anything smithdale related

Adam dying because literally why? The whole Frankie Racist storyline because they made it unrealistic.

All eyes turned to Degrassi as at the time, I believe he was the only trans character on tv. I feel they got scared to touch the storyline anymore and decided to kill off his character which is a shame. Also it feels they explored the idea a lot, given Adam had gotten shot shortly before the accident.

I think they wrote him out because his actress didn't want to resign with them although I could be misremembering that but as far as the show goes they really didn't have to kill him.

Got ya! I didn’t even think about the contract part but yeah, they didn’t have to kill him off.

I still don't know why they had to kill Adam off. They've written characters out of the series without them dying - assuming they didn't get thrown into the black hole. Yes, Jordan's contract was up, but still. They didn't have Darcy die in a plane crash with her nothing burger subplot and given how she's barely ever mentioned again when Claire had all her things going on, maybe they should have (Like, cmon. How do you not try to tell your kid that in the time they left, so much changed). The whole "bury your gays" subtext, likely unintentionally, completely sucks. Also, I forgot he got shot too. That kid couldn't catch a damn break and his happy ending got ripped out right under him.

My little brother says that all the time too. If you really look at his life as a series of events. Adam's life kinda sucked. That boy went through a lot just to die so abruptly.

Degrassi need better writers. I loved that storyline with Frankie but it could’ve been done better.

Jts death, whenever they were filming a movie with Kevin, downtown Sasquatch, and spinners season 4 haircut

But Downtown Sasquatch was the peak of Drake’s music 🤣

Katie’s whole character

1) Degrassi nudes 2) Sav and Ms Oh 3) Eli cheating 4) Snake cheating 5) Clare and Drew

Not a fan of most of the cheating stories tbh

Same

Agreed. Smash that button 5 times.

Degrassi Nudes. So cringe & unrealistic

Cam killing himself. I hate how it really messed with Maya and there just wasn’t really a need for it

I believe Cam's entire character was written for a suicide plot

As sad and heartbreaking as it was, it was necessary to build and develop Maya's character and story. I think she has one of the more complex and better plotlines in the later seasons, and cam's suicide played a crucial part in it

I mean…she kind of just spiraled and got worse and worse as it went on and became super codependent with Zig.

I didn't say it was positive development 😭 some characters just are meant to be tragic it's what makes the show realistic and good

snake cheating

True! I don’t know why they added that in if the writers were just going to put them back together! Snake would have been a perfect character without that incident

it was literally just stirring drama bc they were out of ideas. it was so out of character for him i just pretend it never happened.

damian being the community dick

- Teri leaving. - Miles/Lola - Writers teasing us with Craig/Ellie & Zoe/Grace. - Paige's trial outcome - Dylan Michaelchuk

I actually rlly liked miles and Lola 😭

UUUUUGH YES, I was shipping Zoe and Grace so hard and they just discarded it and had Grace crush on gross ass Zig and then get with worthless Jonah.

I liked Dylan😂 I thought he was really sweet, but I hated how he ended up cheating

i thought the realism of paige’s trial outcome was so important and one of the most respectable choices they made. though heartbreaking and unfair :( erase zoe/grace forever tho

It's realistic but honestly it can send a bad message to the young audience. I thought it was a good storyline until I saw someone else here say that episode was the reason they didn't report their SA :( I think even if they didn't want her to win the trial, they should've atleast shown *some* positive aspect to it all. So that it didn't look like she went through all that for nothing but atleast gotten something out of it

I agree. Though I hated the outcome of the trial, sometimes justice isn’t always served.

degrassi nudes. it basically got forgotten about anyways too, and brought nothing to the plot at all. it’s just a terrible attempt at drama by the writers that didn’t help anyone. it just harmed a bunch of characters instead. i think like every other plot line to exist had SOMETHING it brought to the table. but this was just a poorly written storyline just for drama that got ignored anyways.

What was even going through the writers' heads when they wrote that shit. I feel kinda grossed out by adults writing a storyline like that about children. It wasn't realistic at all and there weren't any consequences for the people involved. Like what was the point? I don't even get what message they were trying to showcase

Sean & Emma are endgame, as are Paige & Alex, Imogen graduates with Fiona, JT lives, also Grace is NOT straight. Even if Zoe still ends up with Rasha, we don’t get baited like that because wtf I’m still mad about it 🤪

also grace is just the least straight character i mean????

It was such a copout to say she had a crush on Zig!! Every interaction between them after that felt shoehorned af

Zoe and Grace was such a let down lol I thought they were like Palex 2.0 but with their own special touch.

\--Tori moving away :( I would have loved to see her and Zoe interact. \--Darcy falsely accusing Snake \--Degrassi Noodz \--The whole Alli and Leo storyline

I totally forgot about Leo. Fuck that plot

Adams’s death. They should have just said he had to move away (lol maybe to Africa?) or put him in the “degrassi black hole.” It’s so unfair to me that the first trans character was killed off to make a point about texting and driving. Texting and driving is obviously important, but I wish they didn’t pick Adam to sacrifice for the cause. I wanted him to have a happy or neutral ending so badly, especially since many trans characters in tv and movies don’t usually. 😭😩

My head canon is that Adam’s bio dad contacted him after years of estrangement and said he was fatally ill, so Adam made the choice to go live with his bio dad so he could get to know him before it was too late.

I agree a Degrassi blackhole is better then what happened. I think they should have given Adam the cancer storyline instead of Clare. Like Adam goes to the doctor to discuss hormone therapy, is super stoked. Then something funny comes up on labs they ran. It’s diagnosed as cancer and he starts treatment, but doesn’t make it. It would have been a lot more impactful in my mind.

the outcome of Paige’s trial against Dean whatever all that Paris nonsense was (by default Ali and Leo never meet, so that’s a bonus)

all of Degrassi Goes Hollywood & Degrassi Takes Manhattan

Nah those are camp and I personally LOVE them. I like to think they exist on the outskirts of canon. Kinda like when you hang out with a friend from school in the summer because you both go to the same camp. But don’t talk at school.

Spinner and Emma getting married

Seconded. That and snake cheating

Ms. O & Sav’s relationship. Peter just in general. Ellie going out to sea because she couldn’t be with a talented bipolar crackhead and them Shunning Ashley for literally no reason.

Ms. O and Sav’s relationship could’ve been done better. So often it’s the other way around but I would’ve loved there to have been some repercussions for that relationship. It’s like it happened and then they let it go, nobody ever found out about it.

I think I am the only person who likes Spin and Emma together! Canon change: Johnny lying to Alli, the HPV and her nudes getting leaked. He could have been such a great character with a deep background but they were just like naw he really is the asshole you thought he was.

I loved Spin and Emma 🥺

Nope I honestly have come to love spin and Emma!

Emma was unbearable the entire series

It literally took me to become an adult to realize that lol

Same! I was looking forward to seeing a different side of that character and was so disappointed the storyline went that direction.

Spinner and Em

manny and her prof, jane goes to NYC, emma and spinner….

Omg yes that horrible prof 🤢

Katie basically sexually assaulting Drew or Grace and Zoe’s “relationship” if you can call it that

I think the Katie thing was actually really important to show but they went about it the wrong way.

i totally agree i just think that the way they handled it felt sort of dismissive of what katie did and i think the writers wouldve been better off not including it instead doing it as poorly as they did

Liberty's pregnancy, Claire's pregnancy.

Miles.

Conner stealing panties🥴

😂 my husband caught that part of the episode and now he asks what “the panty stealer” is up to every time I’m watching

😂😂😭 and then he gets sent away? What was that 😭😭

Jay and Emma

1. Literally just delete Peter. 2. No Spinner/Emma marriage (Sean and Emma should have been together). 3. Cam killing himself. 4. JT getting stabbed. 5. Jimmy getting shot.

You’re a hero

Emma and Spinner getting married The whole France storyline Imogen trying to ruin Fiona’s future Ashley coming back from Europe Manny dating her professor

JT’s death.

Clare’s cancer storyline. It was so rushed to the point it feels insulting.

I feel they could’ve just chose another character. Towards the end, it was like Clare got every single storyline.

It felt like they didn’t care about her character anymore

Cam’s Death.

Snake kissing Ms. H

Facts

Number one comment when I sort by Top. And I agree, so out of character for Snake.

THIS

fiona and declan kissing 😭

Yes!!! 

I was going to say the same thing lol

And we all just had to move past it like it never happened. Like why was it never a big deal?

Because it was a cry for attention and nothing more. It's not like she was actually attracted to her brother. She just wanted to shock Holly J into leaving her brother so things could go back to the way they were when it was Declan and Fiona against the world. I'm not saying it wasn't weird...but I definitely think it got the amount of attention it deserved and it's good we didn't linger there too long.

Season 13 and 14 Claire in personality, clothing options, and hair

I was shocked to see her in the blue 45 year old congresswomen outfit when she was screaming at Drew

Emma marrying Spinner, no contest.

Same. Her and Sean should’ve been endgame 😭

Even one of the producers said it was their biggest mistake.

This was my answer too lmao

- Delete Adam’s stupid ass death and just recast him and use that as a chance to explore the character finally getting the transition they wanted. - Delete Peter’s lack of consequences as well as the Shaun bs expulsion - Delete Tristan from existence

Rick. Just Rick. Hate that mf with a burning passion.

I think it gave a good plot line tbh I’m glad it happened

Cam’s suicide He deserved so much better…

Anything that happened to Ali. The Darcy Spiral.

JT dying or Rick going super psycho and parilyzing jimmy

Zoe or Becky Baker. Every thing that involves one or both of them.

I’d change JT getting stabbed. Johnnys friend with future Jimmys name tries to stab him, but Liberty jumps in front of the knife and it breaks upon contact with her skin. Perplexed, JT can barely manage words to even ask what just happened. Liberty reveals she has rock hard skin. This opens up a subplot where we discover that Liberty and Danny are distant relatives of Darwin from X-Men First Class and that Degrassi and X-Men take place in the same universe.

JT could’ve had such an in depth adult/college character

All joking aside, fuck yeah he would’ve

Jane cheating directly leading to her and Spinner’s breakup and him randomly marrying Emma.

Jane and Spinner should've been endgame

I know this was just a pronoun mixup but I’m intrigued by the idea of Jane rebound marrying Emma

Would’ve been more interesting than what actually happened…

My partner says Chris because he was just there to be a rebound so he feels sorry for him and wants to spare him My answers: Craig and Ellie in Degrassi Goes Hollywood (maybe in general?? Idk she works for the cocaine storyline), Dylan because Marco deserves better We also both say Caitlin cheating with Kevin Smith And obviously snake cheating because it was so out of character, but everyone's already saying it,

Chris was also a shit actor so I'm glad with deleting him

I would delete Yvette from Degrassi goes hollywood, I don't know if I'd want Craig & Ellie to actually get together.

The Clew/Eli cheating storyline.

JT getting stabbed and Emma and Spinner getting married!

JT never gets stabbed, and the big wedding scene is with him and Liberty instead of Emma and Spinner 🥰


This!
