Several days ago a guy named Nick Goluza announced via twitter that he had landed a role on Degrassi:

Of course this meant researching the heck out of the guy since neither the networks nor Epitome have announced new characters yet. Via his Instagram (5/22/13):

On the same day he was on set, he received a tweet from Sarah:

Instant reaction is that if legit, he isn’t a main character mainly because:
1) I assume Epitome has tight reigns on the new series regulars to keep them from revealing their identities on social media before they’re allowed to.
2) This situation is almost identical to how Kevin Alves announced that he was going to be playing Ari (name later changed to Fab) on Degrassi in Season 12.

They changed it because Ari was the name of Eli’s character from Love Roulette.

My reaction to this is that I hope that this character, Todd, is actually useful in the Degrassi universe and not just a character who only serves as a love interest…I’m looking at you Fab.
