The season where Fimagen happened was one of my favs! Annie's character was such a big growing character. I hated Fiona at first but then I grew to love her character as she grew to becoming herself.
+Nathalie Alicea Fiona might be my favourite character from the entire series. I feel as though she's one of the few characters who, despite being given some not too great storylines (her robbery plot in s12 was pretty sloppily handled in my opinion), always remained true to her character. You get some characters whose behaviour becomes so inconsistent, and changes whenever it's convenient for the writers, but no matter what Fiona did, it always seemed to make sense for her. I also like how she ended the show with a bit of a throwback to how she was when she made her debut - pursuing a career in fashion in Europe, but having learned some lessons along the way, and becoming a kinder, stronger person. And Annie Clark just seems like a bucket of sunshine and sweetness. :)
i actually completely forgot that mr simpson was connor's godfather, did anyone notice in the graduation episode he didnt mention that he was there for connor, he just said he came back to see them graduate??
+LivingAsTasha After the first couple of seasons w/Connor (8&9, w/a couple references later), I imagine they wanted to distance that narrative so that Simpson was a more remote figure, character-wise, than in previous years (that is, his being Connor's godfather would bring him a little too much into the kids' lives, rather than keeping him as "the principle"). Even his conversation w/Clare was more of a meta-narrative nod to saying goodbye to Aislynn b/c she had been on the show for 9 seasons (2 guest, 2 support, 5 as an "anchor" character), rather than being anything personal to the character, as such.
Well if you go back & watch; after Connor got his diploma, they panned over to Mr. Simpson crying & looking proud. I almost forgot until they did that.

Fantastic interview! I love Degrassi so much. I grew up with the first 7 seasons of Degrassi:TNG, but I will always love the series.--I have continued watching beyond S7. I also feel like it is worth noting to say, that I love that couch they are sitting on.
Of all the reunions and interviews including the new Drake video I want to know why the cast and creators of Degrassi are forgetting about Dylan John bregar or just completely leaving him out of everything is there a reason?
Actuallyyyy if you want to get specific, Snake, Spike, Joey, Caitlin, and Mr. Raditch were the cast of Degrassi Junior High, etc. Emma, Manny etc were the original cast of Degrassi: The Next Generation. Sorry maybe I should've clarified ;)
