bruh the writers really had to put Drew with every girl on the show, absolutely unhinged. highkey wish there had been more time/focus on Clare and Drew because their dynamic was fun to watch, and their friendship developed naturally. plus the banter was fun.

Drew being a super senior dating Zoe was 😟

As much as I don't think JT and Manny were a good couple, I do think that it's fairly realistic that people in that age range who have been friends for a long time might attempt to date, and that it would feel weird and awkward lol So I'm glad they broke up, but I'm not mad that they tried it. I also feel like Manny and Spinner could have been a really fun couple if the writers had given them time to develop. The buildup and subsequent anticlimactic execution were disappointing, and it just ended up feeling like they shouldn't have bothered to write it in if they weren't going to follow through, but the potential was there

Also I hated any relationship that involved a student and teacher. Matt and Paige was super cringey. Like bro, she needed to use a fake id to get into a bar to see you. She too young for you man!!! The guy that was smashing Tristan was just grooming, gaslighting, and assault at it's finest and don't even get me started on Sav and Ms. Oh! First off how did SAV pull Ms. Oh? What was she thinking? I'm sorry but Sav doesn't have enough charm to pull a grown woman. It was beyond inappropriate.

ellie and craig yes thank you!!! i felt like everyone shipped them back in the day, but you are absolutely right. ellie was unbearable with her crush on him. they completely changed her character just to fit her having a crush on him 😓 awful

Its about time someone acknowledges Imogens part in the breakup of her and Eli. We just loooove to make it seem like it was alllllll Elis fault. But you said it perfectly. She brought out all his triggers and basically rubbed the bipolar diagnosis in his face

To me KC and Jenna was the most toxic couple on the show, they just brought out the absolute worst in each other and I feel like KC was kind of emotionally abusive in the way he would yell at her, talk down to her and then make her apologize. People keep saying that Jenna deserved it because she 'stole' KC from Clare (which I do think was an awful thing to do) but it still does not excuse treating your girlfriend like garbage.

They really didn't give Eli or Clare any good relationships while they were apart.. It always annoys me thinking back on how Imogen created art with all of Eli's business out in the open without his consent and then made him the bad guy when he didn't like it... like???

I agree with you on Miles/Lola. It just didn’t fit right bc he still had a boyfriend

I really hate the trope of a teen couple gets together only to find out they're going to be step siblings but still try to date. Like one of the couples is going to have to break up and I doubt its gonna be the adults who are already married.

I think Manny & JT were so obviously not gonna make sense that the writers did it on purpose. Manny was looking for something safe after getting hurt. Plus I think it actually replicates lots of high school relationships that are really awkward/one-sided. So I thought it was a good thing to put in the show.

ALSO TERRI AND RICK. THEY WERE THE WORST COUPLE IN DEGRASSI AS WELL

Becky and Drew was so groady. You were kissing his brother a few months ago!

Thank you for pointing out how Drew went after EVERY girl Adam liked!! I HATED when Drew and Becky got together. Also Drew should’ve known better than to get with Zoe at that point during his Degrassi journey. Now, enough about Drew… I agree completely with this lis and I love this video! You earned a subscriber!

I wanted Jimmy and Ellie to be a couple soooo bad. My absolute WORST and most foul ship I have is Anya and Owen

Nahhh! Eli and Imogene personally looked like a cute couple but you aren’t wrong she was bad from him

I didn't like Holly J & Blue. They could have just left it as her having a crush on him that didn't go beyond that. It was like watching oil and water mix. Ashley & Jimmy. Idk why they got back together when she returned to Degrassi. Ellie's last few seasons were filled with boy drama and slowly made her unlikable character. Alli had some bad relationships. I don't like Dallas but he was her most stable relationship. I had erased the Drew & Becky pairing from my memory.

Kinda surprised that Manny didn't try to go for Jimmy...She literally dated almost everyone

Honestly felt like the writers ran out of things to write about so they forced these unnecessary couples on us. Majority of the couples on the show was cringy. I’m watching it back now that I’m older I’m like woah degrassi took dramatic to a whole different level. These characters was 14-17 going through some stuff I haven’t even experienced and I’m 33 years old lol. They was too of an extreme couple for just for them to be teenagers.

Emma and Peter 🤢 Emma and Peter 🤢 Emma and Peter 🤢

I like Paige and Spinner, but I hate how bad he treated her when she went beta. 🤦

KC and Jenna were not a great couple, but they were entertaining as hell. I loved their pregnancy storyline, because it was much different than anything else I'd seen on tv.

I agree manny and Jimmy would be so great but tbh manny and spinner LOOK good together like they were à Good looking couple until spinner went for the emo-cut😭

Watching Adam get killed off broke me. But watching Drew get together with Becky genuinely ANGERED me And while I'm on Drew, It was so stupid when he was with Zoe. He plans to marry Bianca then ruins everything. My honorable mention goes to Sav and Winnie OH. Students dating teachers is already weird but in the end, their relationsip....was so forgettable, at least imo

tiny and Lola - I hated the fact she knew Shay liked tiny and went for tiny anyway Jonah and frankie - frankie was unbearable

Thank you for talking about Manny and Spinner because they literally had no scenes as a couple and then just broke up. I felt cheated. Especially after all that build up and flirting and that’s what we got. They could have been cute if the writers gave them a chance.

And can we just put it out there? Johnny watched JT die he let his friend stab him to death and he ran. He ran like a coward.

honestly...i know everyone loves clare and eli, but i was rooting for clare and drew. they were cute

I agree with all your picks for the reasons that you said with a few exceptions. I really think Jake and Clare worked until they tried to keep it going after their parents got married. I can see why they tried to keep it going as long as they did but they should have seen the writing on the wall. Besides the whole cheating on his comatose boyfriend thing I see what they were going for with Miles and Lola. Lola grew as a character and if it weren't for Tristan I could see that relationship working. Sav and Holly J are in my Top 5 Degrassi ships. I loved the carefree, let's just see where this thing goes attitude they had. There were no expectations and the made a great team which I think added to the chemistry. Everyone knew it wasn't forever and the low stakes made everything kinda charming and innocent.

Claire and Jake made me so uncomfortable. I had to skip through all of those scenes because it made me wanna barf. It reminds me a lot of the relationship between the foster siblings in The Fosters which also made me uncomfortable.

The one thing about Becky and Drew that makes me give it a pass (I don't ship it but I'm not outright disgusted by it) is that it's not uncommon for people to date their dead partner's sibling or another close family member after that person passes. Also they didn't start dating immediately after Adam died, but after some time and forming a friendship. I don't love their relationship, but I didn't care too much that it was happening either. I was more pissed about Clare and Drew being shafted before we got to see them get together.

Damn I think you actually names the majority of my list. I do have to add Ashley/Jimmy, some love them together, but Jimmy deserved better.

worst degrassi relationships: esme and miles, esme and zig, esme, zig, frankie, frankie and Jonah, Jonah and Becky, Eli and clare, Jack and Imogen

Marco and Dylan. Like really boring and honestly think Marco could have done better. I feel sad that Riley and Zane never really get brought up, because I feel they were the best m/m relationship on the show. Riley was not the best at the beginning, but Zane (who’s my favorite character on Degrassi) made him a great guy.

I love Holly J and Sav I like Miles and Lola 100% Agree about Manny and Jimmy

Drew and Becky: they trauma bonded that’s it lol no spark notttaa Clare & Jake: they wanted Fiona and Declan to be a romantic relationship but it was too weird for digrassi Jenna and JC: I remember for some reason I had a crush on JC but Jenna deserved better Ali and Jonny: eww okay Drew and Zoe: man’s is pretty much an adult but he mentally stays 15 and Zoe was annoying but she deserved a guy or girl who really loved her JT and Manny: JT and what’s her face and endgame Eli and Emagen: she’s too self aware for him Manny and spinner: odd ew Sav and Holly J: they were freaking bored and made the uniforms happen so 🍅🍅🍅 CRAIG AND ANYONE WAS A HOT MESS 😂😂

Drew and Becky - THROWING UP Imogen and Eli - GROSS

I get what you mean about JT/Manny and I do agree with you, but I think that it worked in the show because I know growing up of seeing similar dynamics play out. I have seen people be in a friend group, be pretty tight, one gets a make-over/glow-up and then someone in their friend group ends up and a friend either confesses of past feelings or feelings end up happening (hormones) or they were just drinking and ended up hooking up and then they date and it's awkward af. Then there are times where that does turn out to be a good thing and they end up married or whatever, but I know from my own experiences it was more awkward than anything mainly due to it being one sided with physically/emotionally (like a person really wants the sex but not really the baggage that comes with a relationship.)

I didn’t really like Jimmy and hazelnut just felt like o let’s put the only black popular characters together

If you do a part 2 it should include Toby and Liberty, Becky and Jonah, and I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.

Yeah, the Degrassi writers *LOVED* to make us suffer through horrible ships for *LITERALLY* no reason 🤢😭 Considering that Derek and Casey from Life With Derek (another Canadian kid/teen show) are still shipped today, Jake and Claire being a thing sadly doesn’t surprised me

Here's my thing for Drew and Becky, in real life you can't help who you fall for. I don't think that Becky should have been off limits after his brother died because what are they supposed to do? And step siblings are not siblings. Especially when they have only lived together for a little while. I wouldn't even consider them related so the Clare and Jake relationship did not bother me one bit

Omg yes! Thank you thank you THANK YOU! You have no idea how frustrating it is to hear all your friends say “aww omg! Drew and Becky are so cute together” every time I hear that i cringe, pull my hair and say “HOW!?!?!?!”

Can we talk about Emma dating Jay and Peter? Just ewwww, esp since Peter took nude photos of manny when she was drunk?

I'm finally watching Degrassi after years of people praising it's name - and of course obsessing over scene compilations on KZfaq (it's just as good as I thought it was, by the way)! I haven't made it pass season six, but yes, Craig and Ellie was bull-ish (excuse my language). The couple I dislike the most so far, though, is Daryl and Marco. Daryl cheated, then had the nerve to come back (most likely after he got lonely when he realized his f**k buddies weren't interested in being friends), and tell Marco that everyone Marco would date after him would really be all about him, Daryl! What?! It was giving me some type of emotional, mental, manipulative abuse vibes (whatever it's called). So far he's been neglectful, and has failed to mention that he was planning on moving to Switzerland. Then to see Paige pulling the same emotional roller-coaster nonsense with Alex, I'm like, 'This bull-ish runs in the family!'. Makes me wonder who's the troublemaker amongst the parents, mommy or poppy.

Keep making Degrassi vids! Im here for it😁

You are so right about Audra though. And the vid is great; fantastic job, friendo

There’s a couple I hate so much: Spinner and Emma, like WTF?

Time to be unpopular and say my one of my favorite ships was actually Allie and Johnny and before y’all come for me in the comments, no, I do not condone him and the revenge porn at all, that was terrible and disgusting and deserves hate for that. But some parts of their relationship I thought were kinda cute; also it was the first bad boy, good girl trope before we had Claire and Eli and a lot of people forget that because it didn’t last long. Ijs Also, Sav and Holly J were cute, fight with a wall 😝😝

Peter and Emma was my least favorite relationship

You should do the best/worst parents of degrassi video

I couldn't stand Kacy or Jenna.... Kacy was a bad character and a bad father.

I always saw Drecky as a trauma bonding couple. Also, I thought Adam was trying g to get to Imogen and was going to break up with Becky…. I’m not a fan of them, but I understood why they found comfort in one another.

I always thought it was weird that they tried to put Claire with every "hot" guy on the show. that just wasn't her character

I hated Adam and Fiona so much. I don't know why. I don't have words for it. Also I'm genuinely convinced they didn't know what to do with Drews character so they just made him date everyone he interacted with.

Ashley in any relationship hated that girl she always made everything about her.

I agree with you on Sav & Holly J. I think they are better as friends and there really wasn’t any chemistry with them. They totally remind me of Dan & Blair from Gossip Girl

I def couldn't stand Emma & Peter like uGH it just didn't make any sense. Another one I didn't like was Spinner & Darcy.

Spinner and Emma - the worst.

As a person who litterally grew up with the kids on the next generation. Cause im like 35. Only couple I truly liked threw eveything waa Clare and Eli. Which says alot that they were the only couple who seemed real. The next generation kids were everywhere. Now if we wanna go futhur back ill talk about some Degrassi junior high and high. That was my fav Degrassi

Yay my comment made it into a KZfaq video! I agree with your opinions in this video. Jt liked Manny more than she liked him. They were better as friends. Also Manny and Spinner made no sense to me lol.

I HATED Claire and Jake but to play devil's advocate: they were dating before they knew their parents were. It is pretty fuckin weird they stayed together after the wedding but feelings don't just go away because of an odd life change

I thought I was the only one who didn’t like Sav and Holly.J . It just felt too random Craig and Manny was a couple I hated they just brought out the worst in each other and it also started from cheating so that’s always a big no. By the time they weren’t toxic I just couldn’t care for their relationship Glad Manny ended up with Jay, they are my OTP Agree with all of these expect Spinner and Paige I liked them together. Though Palex is my favorite ship for Paige and Spane for Spinner (before she cheated on him)

you're my favourite degrassi channel fr

worst couple imo was ashley and craig, ts was so toxic my god. like they brought the absolute worst out in each other.

Marco and Dylan, purely bc I hate Dylan. They were cute in the beginning then it all went downhill

I wish they let Clare and Drew keep the brother/sister relationship I felt like they had? Idk I liked their friendship more than their relationship

Drew and Becky bothered me so much!! I absolutely hated the fact that Drew and Becky got together after Adam DIED.

Emma & Peter tho

I have a hard time believing that Johnny wasn't a virgin before Alli. Just look at him.

Omg wake up! The queen Has posted!🙄

I hated Emma and Damien they were just so uninteresting

Degrassi was so chaotic I love it 😭

I wasn’t a fan of Jay and Manny. Spinner should have been kept with Darcy. They also should have put spinner with Terri in the early seasons

Jimmy and Manny definitely could’ve work❗️😭😭

I honestly really like Eli and Imogen together. They had this joker and Harley Quinn vibe. I think if they developed Imogene character (plus Eli was doing better with his mental health) they would’ve been so good. I personally hated Clare and Eli together. Clare kept keeping secrets from Eli and treated him like he couldn’t do anything.

the thing w clare & jake is soo gross & reminds me a lot of the show “life w derek,” where the main characters derek & casey have a weird sexual tension between them throughout the whole show… idk what’s up w canadian teen sitcoms & that borderline incesty vibe but its p sus... (oddly enough life w derek featured a lot of the same actors that went on to degrassi, Adam was the little sister, fionas mom was the mom in life w derek also, as well as miles’s dad being the stepdad in life w derek!!)

The people of Degrassi didn't care about friends not dating exs

Everyone in this list is a total screwup! None of them are perfect couples. They’re only devils who are trapped in the consequences of sins and the writers who make them turn against each other! When’s the nightmares ever gonna end and that there’ll be TRUE love!? PERFECT LOVE!

Well now I need a rating of the Degrassi parents because I only thought Audra was a good mom when Drew got with Zoe and when she decided to start helping Bianca instead of berate her. Those are the only two times I liked her. Also, did you or do you have a video of relationships/friendships you would have liked to see or see grow in Degrassi? If not, I’d wanna hear your thoughts on that one too.

You hit the nail on the coffin! Clare and Drew together were 🤮 as well!

Drew blame Becky for his brother death 💔😩 then a couple of months later they started dating 🤦🏽‍♀️ like bro wtf 🤬

Manny dumped JT for being immature and went on to date Spinner. Spinner was not much better than JT in that department.

I agree with most of them besides Spinner and Paige and Craig and Ellie I love both of those ships

Esme and Zig, HATED IT🫤

Imagine if Manny and Sean were a thing

SAV AND HOLLY J ARE AMAZING

I agree with every single one of them and for the same reasons too.

i liked paige and spinner the first time round when they randomly hooked up in season 6, its like why??

I really didn't like Sean and Emma. She wanted to do what she wants and not want he wants. When they broke up she went on a rampage to make his life miserable.

But honestly do you think Alli would have taken no for an answer with Johnny?

I find this so interesting and entertaining

I'm Surprised Emma and Spinner are not on this list

no because eli with imogen was AWFUL. She was so toxic and every time he would have an emotion she didn't like, she would bring up his bipolar disorder? Which always bugs me about the seasons with Eli because no one really sticks up for him in those moments?? EVERYONE would blame his bipolar disorder and tell him to take his meds when he was justifiably upset.

I absolutely hate Miles and Lola together.

Am I the only one who couldn't stand Damian with anyone?? He really was for the streets LOL Went through the whole friend group! Also Jane and Declan cuz....WHAT?! They had no chemistry IMO

Omg yess Johnny and alli!! Everyone ships them. I hate them!!

Hmm degrassi was lowkey promoting incest I forgave them with Claire because they were only steak siblings but shit was still weird asf. Then they had Declan and Fiona kiss and it absolutely made no sense

Drew and Becky's relationship was so disrespectful to Adam I will never forget and I will never forgive.

Miles and Tristan were the worst and it came out of nowhere
