Maya I think

I did love the series but for me the movie i something i'd rather get. I remember seeing that scene when Caitlin said the f bomb i couldn't believe that especially on CBC.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Wheel's and his Grandma were by far the two worst actors in Canadian Tv history. "derek, I'm sick of your lies..derek derek!"
Watching those two trade lines was like sitting in grade 8 drama class...

who was the actor/character that Caitlin had a thing for in Degrassi Jr. High? All I remember he was kind of a loner and had thick wavy brown hair.

Giles if you're thinking of the guy who had dark hair(in a pony tail) and glasses i think it was during Degrassi High his name was Claude - i'm pretty sure.

no, that doesn't sound like him at all. All I remember was that he was featured in the beginning of "Jr High" and later just seemed to disappear.

I believe you are alluding to Rick, the kid who was briefly friends with Joey and sold him his "rad" leather jacket. Joey witnessed Rick's father hitting him and ended up indirectly responsible for Rick's placement in foster care. The character never returned.

I think you're right, but who's the actor that played him?

I was in high school when this aired so I did not see it much, but I do remember Spike and Eggbert.

It seems like you people have the same sort of humor that I do in regards to Degrassi.. check out my Degrassi site that contains tons of fun bio and episode guides.

It has pissed off several cast members including Arthur who is now looking like an escaped mental patient.. and Shane who gets no acting work. Both of these guys had their sisters email me and give me crap. its fun!

great website by the way.

According to IMDb, some kid named Craig Driscoll.

I'm fairly certain he's the one of whom you're thinking. Because of the abuse from dad, he was always sullen; in one episode Caitlin and a friend (I don't remember who) try to cheer him up by accosting him in the hallway with bad jokes.

Damn, that was a riot reading all that! I wish I lived in Canada...for a few days.

Oh man...

I just watched a couple of episodes of Degrassi: The Next Generation. It was pretty good so I looked up everything I could about the show and why it was the "Next Generation." Anyway, I have a sudden desire to see The Kids of Degrassi Street/Degrassi Junior High/Degrassi High. These shows have characters only a few years younger than myself. Any chance that they are broadcast anywhere? Maybe they'll come to dvd soon.

Well, this is finally coming out on February 1st:

Degrassi Jr. High 1st season with the choices of the whole first season or individual discs.
