Degrassi is wasting no time trying to rip the hearts out of Degrassi fans when it returns on Friday, February 15th at 9pm EST. If you’ve been paying attention to the fandom for quite a while, then you’re already aware that 12C will contain some of the heaviest content this show has tackled in ages. The press release from Much Music today makes it all more real:

***************
In Bitter Sweet Symphony, Parts One and Two, it’s a new semester, but Cam’s hesitant about coming back to Degrassi after an amazing week at home. Dallas wants a date with a reluctant Alli and makes it his mission to win her over. A major turn of events for Eli brings back things past.

Following Bitter Sweet Symphony Part 2 on February 22nd, Much Music will be airing a 30-minute special called MuchTalks: Degrassi:

The halls of DEGRASSI will never be the same. MuchMusic’s #1 Original Canadian Series DEGRASSI is back with an emotional two-part episode beginning Friday, Feb. 15 at 9 p.m. ET.
Continuing to break taboos and push boundaries, Bitter Sweet Symphony, Part One features a dramatic story arc that concludes in one of the most emotional and shocking episodes in recent memory with Bitter Sweet Symphony, Part Two, airing Friday, Feb. 22 at 9 p.m. ET. To help viewers process the impact of the episode, MuchMusic has commissioned the new half-hour special, MUCHTALKS: DEGRASSI, to air immediately following Part Two at 9:30 p.m. ET.
Featuring members of the DEGRASSI cast and a panel of experts, the MUCHTALKS special offers a platform for viewers engage in a discussion about the events that transpire in the episodes. Viewers at home can get involved in the conversation at muchmusic.com/muchtalks, and follow the #MuchTalks live chat @MuchMusic on Twitter.

I’m loving the fact that Much is doing this. It would be nice if TeenNick were doing something similar (or by some form of magic airing this special that Much is doing), but there’s been no mention of anything yet.

Would love it if TeenNick aired the special or some form of their own, cause Americans also have feelings, thoughts, and questions about what I’m guessing is suicide so it shouldn’t just be excluded to only MuchMusic.
At the very least TeenNick should air the PSA that Melinda filmed.

I definitely agree with this being because of a potential suicide plot, since suicide would be considered one of the strongest and delicate subjects out there. Like everyone I believe it’s Cam…which brings me to my theory based on Much’s description of “A major turn of events for Eli brings back things past”. Based on Much’s promo and this…could it possibly be that Cam tries to hurt himself by throwing himself in front of a car? And since Eli sees it (when he drops the coffee) this could trigger his past memories of Julia since she died being hit by a car? Causing him to become unbalanced and make the wrong decisions? Just a theory. Just had to put it out there :)

loved your theory, although i highly doubt that it will happen.

I actually think that this is somewhat likely. At least parts of it.

That would actually be pretty amazing! Because I would really love to see what happened back then and what they were fighting about. But I’m sure it’s him throwing himself off the building. It is more impacting.

So far everything is seems pretty understanding except this ” A major turn of events for Eli brings back things past.” Are they talking about Eli past before he came to Degrassi.? Maybe he know Talia from his past or it could be this horrific thing that will trigger. It could be both.

Am I the only person who thinks Cam is going back home to get therapy. I think its going to be someone we least expect to die tragically. I’m sorry Cam is to predictable and we know Degrassi promos like to twist our brains. I also doubt its Adam.
