So if you’ve been keeping up with Degrassi as it airs on CTV, I wanted to remind you there is no new episode this week. Degrassi will return on November 1st with the Riley two-parter, “Beat It.” In Canada, I assume they’ll air Degrassi until the end of November, then go on hiatus until sometime in January. TeenNick will be airing new episodes every Friday through November 20. They’ll finish up their “Fall Season” with the episode “Beat It,” and probably return at some point during the Spring.
Here in the U.S., TeenNick will be airing “Close To Me” tomorrow night at its usual time.
I’ve got some random thoughts about Degrassi so I’ll just purge them here:
* Season 9′s first six episodes have already blown Seasons 7 and 8 out of the water as far as the quality of the writing. Let’s hope it’s just as good the rest of the season.
*Production for Season 9 wraps up this week, and they’re about to start producing a new round of Degrassi Minis.
*CONGRATULATIONS to Eleanore Lino, who won at the 2009 Gemini Awards for ”Best Direction in a Children’s or Youth Program or Series” for her work on the Season 8 episode “Fight The Power.”
*I love the new kids (Declan, Fiona, Jenna, Dave) so far…they’ve been a great addition to the cast.
*It’s confirmed that Peter (as well as Danny, Jane and any other seniors) are graduating this season, but there’s no word on whether or not any of them will return for Season 10.
I love the Mobile website! Great job Kary!
Thank you!!! :-)
this sucks! they’re seriously not returning until the spring with new episodes? wait, they aren’t showing the two part riley one on the same week? because that’s the only way it would go until nov. 20th.
also, big fan of the blog! :D
I have no idea why, but they’re showing “Beat It” Pt. 1 on Nov. 13th, and Pt. 2 on the 20th. I don’t like that at all. :-(
I love the mobile site
too! It’s amazing! I’m on my iPod touch and
I thought it would be a desktop version and I was really surprised! Amazing!
Do you know when some of the original Degrassi “TNG” characters are returning?
