I feel you hahaha everyone knows the best seasons are 1-7

@@packnetadaija season 12 was fire

Love the vid, as usual my guy ❤

I fell off right at The Boiling Point, looped back to watch the new class, and decided to watch 10-14 recently. I'm stalled out at the Paris trip. I can't go on.

@@jencendiary the paris trip was a choree to finish. I got much to say about that era of degrassi. I was the same tho i stopped watching around mid point of season 10. Within the past 2 years (covid) I binged everything and I was surprised how good season 11-12 was! I also enjoy next class alot, mostly bc the seasons were shorter.

Awwww good for her 💕❤️

Not to sound mean, but that was definitely the right choice. Acting just really wasn't for her. But hey, she's way smarter than I'll ever be so I can't knock her too much.

@@MatthewNY94 It's not mean, in fact that's the exact thought process she had. She knew her acting chops weren't that good and made the obvious choice

@@MatthewNY94 it’s not mean but I loved her acting it works with the personality she had

Being on this show prob helped her get into Harvard, they love enrolling students with extra credentials.

Agreed, I just wish they had her graduate with Peter/Danny/Janes class. Like to debut in s4 and graduate in 2011 is nuts lol. I would’ve liked her to have a few plot lines involving her family or an out of school hobby/skill

She fit better in the holly j class she was like one of the Likeable mean girls she fit well with holly and Anya

I just didn't like how she didn't graduate, the girl was a super super senior 😂

She was in there the first season 💀💀 stayed so long

@@tamamisaki_0320 Chantay is the prime example of how all those retcons to the character’s ages really took you out of the show. She started when Degrassi still had a middle school, they started making the seasons half of a school year instead of one, *and* they retconned everyone’s ages twice.

The way Sav widens his eyes at her...genius

Yep. It was unpopular to see that scene as problematic when the episode came out. You'd get chewed out for suggesting that coercion isn't consensual.

Lol

I can hear the “AHHHHNyaaaaaa” in my head in his voice without hearing it for ages 😂

Sav was pure Ass

It’s made even worse by his awful singing voice.

@@vyte6531 and the voice crack

HAHA FR

Agreed

It was a total laugh out loud moment

Sav’s face is everything

I just didn't like her with Sav.

Anyone else think Holly J looks similar to Ellie? Lmao they could be sisters or cousins

The Boiling Point trailers were 🔥🔥

claire story was good with elli, but allie i honestly didn't like with all her mistakes and blamed other people when she got in trouble when her parents found out about everything she did, i mean i guess later seasons she was bettter

Season 12 is awesome

YESSSS!!! Agree! I’m so happy I picked this show up again years after it aired during this era.

Agreed! Holly J and Fiona’s stories got me through a lot.

she had great character development

Holly I and Declan another toxic relationship. She broke up with him because he wanted to pay for her so she could focus on her studies. Then she starts hooking up with sav right away. Steals from his sister. Then searches for her birth mom and expects her to give up a kidney right away. The mom obviously needs money Fiona pays for her but she was mad at Declan for trying to pay for her. I see no development other than she stopped keeping it real. Holly j in season 7 and 8 were way better.

Oh yeah and never once a good friend to Ana the whole show. When Ana starts dating Owens she craps all over him for no reason yeah great character development. Terrible friend and even worse gf she dumps every guy she dates lol

​@@pleaseshutup7053 I personally feel like the two situations are different. Holly J's problem with Declan offering to buy her things was that he was overbearing with it; offering to buy her everything instead of realizing she could work for it on her own. With the kidney situation, Holly J could've possibly died without the donation. It makes sense she'd be willing to allow Fiona to give her biological mom the money. She was much more desperate since it was a life-or-death situation. It's not unrealistic to think someone may not act 100% according to their morals if their life is at risk. So yes, she didn't like things being bought for her but when it comes to her life and health, it makes sense she'd be willing to let someone help her out financially. Also Fiona wasn't always asking to buy Holly J things or trying to "buy her friendship". It was more of a gift, and it makes sense considering the two are besties and Holly J supported Fiona through her domestic violence trial and alcohol addiction. Plus there was no way for Holly J to get the money on her own. She couldn't just come up with 20k by herself. She genuinely had no other option but to let Fiona pay. Otherwise, she'd be back on an uncertain waiting list. Also, she also stole the money from Fiona before she dumped Declan. So it's not like she dumped Declan for trying to pay for things, then went and stole his sister's money. She lost her money and had a lapse in judgment. But she learned her lesson and apologized. And with the kidney thing, again, she did apologize for asking such a big thing from her birth mother. With her life at risk, it makes sense she'd be desperate. Also, she's only, what, seventeen? Finding out you're adopted while simultaneously going through kidney failure is a lot all while thinking about college and graduation is a lot. I feel like her development and choices make sense given all that.

@@pleaseshutup7053 I do agree, though, about Anya. Especially dating Sav after Anya and Sav had such a history. But that's just Degrassi. Everyone dates everyone. And everyone dumps everyone. There are few couples who stay together throughout all of Degrassi

@@r.s6187 lmao Declan was not over bearing what are you talking about. Omg your boyfriend pays for your expenses because he wants you to focus on your studies and your internships instead of working an endless job. The kidney thing wasn’t that bad. Stealing from Fiona was her worst move on the show. So she is ok with stealing from Fiona but not receiving help from Declan. Holly j was a terrible gf to all of her boyfriends a terrible friend to all of her friends. But she brought the drama so that must be why everyone liked her.

Totally agree about Holly J! Felt like two different people but not in a jarring way that indicates bad writing. Sometimes writers totally change a character and it feels random or undeserved. But her development felt so natural. She still had that same core personality of being very type-a and in charge. But she became so much more well-rounded. She became a better friend and less manipulative and more willing to be vulnerable. She learned to work hard and not have things handed to her. She experienced trauma and bullying that taught her to have more empathy for others. At the end of it, she was still bad b*tch Holly J. But she wasn't some one-dimensional mean girl. I love that the show didn't make her lose her edge. Even after her "redemption arc", she was still witty and snarky at times and still incredibly ambitious and take charge. What changed was the way she treated others. The show could've easily kept her as an antagonist and she could've stayed as a mean girl, so I really love the direction they took her character!

I also wish Declan had been in the show in Season 10. He didn't have to have a storyline with Holly J and honestly that would be better probably. I wish Declan had something kinda "bad" happen to him that teaches him to be a better person. He just left in a weird way for me. Fiona was on the show after Declan left, I would have at least liked to see him go visit her every now and then. Honestly it's odd when the whole "Mom on house arrest" happened that we never saw Declan reach out to Fiona. You'd think as siblings that's something they'd both have trouble with and look to each other for stability.

Same I was waiting on this one.

Me too!

I hope he does them all!!!!

A true Queen!!!!

I hate to say it but it’s kinda karma….I mean K.C. literally cheated on her with Marisol🤣🤣

@@FoTheHoe the student council election when Katie calls Marisol a home wrecker. Marisol saying it’s not true and Jenna coming in like excuse me?

What are they doing some college thing?

Like Emma Manny spinner Sean etc

@@oooh19 i need sean’s fine ass to come back fr 💯💯💯

Same! I really liked Sav and HJ, lowkey more than Sav and Anya. I think bc their thing was just fun, not as much drama, and I liked the development of HJ by season 10 and thought her and Sav were more compatible when they got together. Anya started the show a push over kinda just doing things to appease people, including Sav, and left the show that way…to me lol

It’s sad they weren’t really a couple…I think I just preferred to see Clare without Eli lol

Right, their chemistry was so comfortable and drama free. They were cute and flirty but they felt like they could get things done. When I think of a true power couple I think of the dynamic that this couple showcases. They could've been great!

I completely agree! I really wished Clare and Drew were endgame. Way less drama than Eclare.

I didn't really like Drew and Clare as a couple personally, but I can 100% agree to being a fan of Sav and Holly J. They felt like a real life couple to me. The way the cared about one another, like during HJ's health issues, and seemed comfortable and settled was a really nice change of pace. Those two had such good character development and it made sense that they would gravitate toward one another.

It literally makes no sense. The fact she was in season four. FOUR?!?!?!?!?! And graduates SEVEN seasons later?????? And her character wasn’t even that substantial 😭

@@Sodapop-gi4bu ikr, they kept her on so long and barely did anything with her. Makes no sense. They should’ve had her graduate in an earlier season.

They didn’t feel like casting a new token black girl for this class.

Degrassi though was 7th grade & up wasn’t it?

@@angelical5386 only in the first 2 seasons, then it just became a high school

Most overrated relationship in degrassi that relationship is toxic they break up every season.

@@pleaseshutup7053 I hated them lol they were the Manny and Craig of their Gen..

His actor was so good compared to Riley’s but his only storyline is him being with riley which is so annoying

I've always hated that trope tbh

@@ghostflxwer what trope?

@@12inter88 "out gay person forces someone to come out"

@@ghostflxwer I hate that too. I know it’s from a good place, but it’s here is privilege in being able to be and live as your authentic self

I could watch these all day

What’s a nothing burger 😭

@@Sodapop-gi4bu meat and bread no sauce spice or toppings

i liked her she grew on me 🥲😅
