Degrassi Spoilers & Specs #53-Because we hope that is a wig Cassie is wearing!


SEASON 5 PRESS RELEASE

POTENTIAL DEGRASSI MOVIE

Silver anniversary, silver screen: Epitome develops Degrassi feature
by Sean Davidson for Playback Magazine



The makers of Degrassi: The Next Generation had a good month in May - bringing in a movie script and $50,000 in spending money just as they are closing in on the silver anniversary of their successful youth franchise.

Producers Linda Schuyler and Stephen Stohn of Epitome Pictures have, for some time, been looking to take their CTV show to the big screen, and, late last month, received the draft script from series writers Tassie Cameron and Aaron Martin.

"We have the first draft in hand," says Stohn. "It just arrived."

The proposed film is in development with help from Telefilm Canada, which no doubt sees the popular Degrassi brand as a better-than-average shot at becoming a commercially successful English-Canadian film. Telefilm also has a hand in the Trailer Park Boys feature, set to shoot this summer in Nova Scotia.

Stohn would not comment on the broader plans, but sources close to the project say Epitome is courting U.S. director Kevin Smith for a late summer shoot. Smith (Dogma, Jersey Girl) guest starred on three TNG episodes last season, along with his sidekick Jason Mewes, and is an outspoken fan of the Degrassi shows.

"We need to absorb this draft and talk with the people that might be involved," says Stohn, possibly going back for more funding for a second draft. Whether the movie will come together "is still anybody's guess."

Two books and a TV documentary are also in the works. Toronto-based Madison Press will unveil its behind-the-scenes collection Degrassi: Generations and a branded student planner at this month's BookExpo Canada - the former will be on shelves in Canada, the U.S. and Australia by fall - just as 90th Parallel Productions puts the finishing touches on a one-hour Degrassi retrospective for CTV.

The doc features franchise star Stefan "Snake" Brogren in informal chats with past and present cast members.

"My marching orders were 'Give them what they want.' 'Them' being the fans," says director Mike Sheerin. "It focuses mainly on the older, classic Degrassi, but the new show is definitely in there."

It is in post with editor Nick Hector (Dying at Grace) and is expected to air in the coming season. Smith appears in the documentary and also wrote the foreword to Degrassi: Generations.

Meanwhile, the series won $50,000 and the first Shaw Rocket Prize on May 25, voted best Canuck kids show by a jury of some 400 schoolchildren and five international broadcast execs - besting Poko, Franny's Feet and Shoebox Zoo.

The show has "plenty of plot integrity, sophistication and depth," according to one student jurist. "It also has realistic conflicts and is definitely thought-provoking." The win follows and in many ways echoes a glowing review that ran earlier this year in the New York Times Magazine, which cheekily proclaimed TNG "tha Best Teen TV N da WRLD!"

Stohn notes that the Times piece, the doc, the book and movie are putting a lot of momentum behind the Degrassi name, just as its next season gets underway in Toronto.

Season five of TNG will also see the return of showrunner James Hurst, who left the series last season to help launch Epitome's other teen drama, Instant Star. TNG writer Shelley Scarrow takes over on Star, now shooting its second run.

TNG marked a high point in October when it drew its highest ratings ever, just under one million according to BBM, with a controversial episode about bullying and school shootings.

TNG airs on The N in the U.S., where its edgier stories have been known to cause a stir, and is also carried in the U.K., Australia and France.

It is the fourth series to bear the Degrassi name, following Kids of Degrassi Street, Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High, all of which aired on CBC in the '80s and early '90s. Stohn and Schuyler turned out an MOW in 1991 and then took the latest series to CTV in 2001.

The coming season is being trumpeted as the franchise's 25th anniversary

News from the Exec:

11/27/04
We'll be interested in the reactions to Secret Part 1 and Part 2. The 'secret' relates to oral sex, which is not something that is often dealt with on television--but it is important that it be dealt with honestly and authentically and that is what we have tried to do!

1/15/05
the final episode has a whole range of emotions. Yes, you will cry (even I can't help crying when I see it, and I've seen it a million times). But you will probably laugh out loud more than you ever have in any other Degrassi episode, there are some hilarious moments, starting with the very first scene!!!

1/19/25
We're already working, as you know, on 501/502 AND you don't know that we are also working on a SECRET project very closely related to Degrassi... BUT we won't know if there will officially be a Season 5 of Degrassi until CTV orders us, which is unlikely to happen before mid-February, and may take as long as the beginning of March!!!

2/23/05
We heard late this evening from CTva bout Degrassi, still no word on Instant Star we are hoping for that by the end of this week.

And the news is: Degrassi has officially been ordered for 19 episodes in Season 5!!!

This means that the final episode of Season 5 will be the 100th episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation!!!

And it all happens in the year we are celebrating 25 years of Degrassi being on the air!!


4/17/05
I've been off at a television convention (hehe, in the south of France) and boy do people around the world love Degrassi!

Later this week I'm heading down to Los Angeles and maybe after returning we can give you a hint about what the potential big thing that might be happening this year is.

In the meantime, the writers are busy writing, because we're only a few weeks away from starting to shoot Season 5!!! We just had a read-through of 501 and 502, it was great to see the cast again, and see how they've grown again over the winter!

4/24/05
Just back from Los Angeles, and I'll be heading back there in three weeks (in two weeks of course it's the first week of filming of Season 5 so I've GOT to be here for that!) We're making some progress on the big secret project but it's stll a bit early to give out any hints. I can confirm though that whatever Linda said on the radio about next season is true!! (And you might be be surprised!) In answer to one question, the book is coming out in August...

4/30/05
Actually filming is going to start May 6th (originally we were going to shoot the new generic opening on the 6th but we've decided to push that to later)... last nigth our book publisher came over to the house to deliver the galley proofs of the Degrassi: Generations book that will be released in late August. It is AMAZING. Hundreds of pictures, and tons of facts about Degrassi that even Lidna and I had forgotten or never knew! The book will initially be released in Canada, the U.S. and Australia!

5/6/05
Just walked back from set to my office, the opening Scene 113 Take 1 of Season 5 was just shot (remember we shoot scenes out of order) as Manny walks through the front door of Degrassi to the appreciate words of JT and Toby. It's great to be back!!

5/19/05
I just watched another car crash, it went off perfectly!!! (A bit expensive to keep crashing cars I know, but very satisfying when you know it's going to look good on screen.)

5/20/05
No need for tears--it was NOT a beautiful Corvette that we crashed!

6/5/05
sorry I've been away a bit, but from the post of that article on the potential Degrassi movie now you know where I've been spending my time and why I've been visiting L.A. so much! I hope to have some real news on the potential movie in about a month...

6/6/05
The fact that we're working on a movie doesn't mean the end of the tv series! We're hoping the series will carry on for quite a while!!

6/6/05
Here's the latest title update for Season 5!
501/2 Venus
503 Death of a Disco Dancer
504 Foolin
505 Weddings, Parties, Anything
506 I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
507/8 Turned Out
509 Never Gonna Give You Up
510 Redemption
511/12 The Lexicon of Love

6/8/05
just watching a scene with two characters kissing for a fairly long time... it looks great but the moment the director yells cut everyone bursts out laughing (which kind of breaks the mood) but it will look great on screen when it's all cut together!!!

From Jamie Johnston's website:
Most of you have asked for information about Jamie's character, Peter. We are unable to divulge any script information or relay any details about Peter, but can give you one little tidbit - you'll find out who he is in the first two episodes.

Jimmy returns to school in a wheel chair; Danny's jealous of JT and Liberty.

Jimmy has finally returned to Degrassi after staying in the hospital and the school is glad to have him back, all but one: Spinner. With guilt tearing at his soul, Spinner tries to make it up to Jimmy by helping him with everyday things from getting him water to getting the basketball coach to name the MVP trophy after him. While glad to be back, Jimmy is still dealing with his fate: being confined to a chair for life and knowing Spinner had something to do with setting Rick off doesn't help. Finally Spinner can't take it no more and confesses to Jimmy the reason why Rick came after him; Spinner and Jay made Rick think the paint and feathers incident was Jimmy's idea. Understandibly Jimmy is upset and severes ties with Spinner.

By the next day the whole school has learned the truth and Spinner must walk a mile in Rick's shoes, all his friends stay away, even his girlfriend Manny ignores him. Looking for an escape, Spinner comes across Jay and the two proceed to drink their problems away. Later Spinner crashes a party in Jimmy's honor and proceeds to nearly drive away drunk, until Jimmy and the others stop him. Jimmy lets Spinner know that he is dead to him. Now without friends, Spinner faces the music and confesses to Ms H. about his and Jay's involvement in the paint and feathers incident. Ms.H. is left with no choice and Spinner and Jay are expelled from Degrassi.

Meanwhile JT and Liberty's relationship continues, but its clear that someone named Danny is very jealous, feeling that JT is spending too much time with his sister. So when Liberty askes Danny to watch out for their father while she spends time with JT, Danny doesn't let Mr. Van Zant know and the couple is caught by none other than Liberty and Danny's father. Sending JT away and forbiding them to see each other causes a rift between brother and sister and even results in a fight between JT and Danny at school. However after everything is talked out amoung the Van Zants, JT and Liberty are back and sweeter than ever.

In school, matters of the heart make the most drama and for Paige, its no exception. Her relationship with Matt is still going strong to where they are brave enough to have a picnic in the park, that is until Mr. Simpson nearly discovers everything. Adding to the list of matters is Matt is being evaluated the next day, as part of the student teacher program and he wants all to go well. But fate has other plans, due to Paige skipping out on the spirit squad to hang with Matt and Manny has been slowly taking over,which Hazel doesnt like. When Hazel confronts Manny, Paige's relationship comes up and leaves Hazel upset that Manny supposedly knows more than she does. During part of the evaluation Hazel cant contain herself and reveals Paige and Matt's secret to the whole class. Needless to say, the couple isnt happy and must try to keep things under control.

But thats doesnt last when Paige and Manny cross paths in the hallway,leading to an argument of Paige's lack of involvement in the squad due to her love life and Manny's inability to mind her own buisness and a fight ensues. Matt and Ms. H the principal break things up and Manny narcs the secret further and the lovers are in real hot water. In the office,Hazel apologizes and Marco tries to help calm Paige down, but to no avail when Matt comes out of a conference and Ms. H relays Matt's claims of her stalking him. Confronting him later, Paige agrees to go along to keep him out of trouble. But the next day, Paige puts it all on the line to save Matt, which convinces him to come clean, costing him his future as a teacher, but allowing them to finally be open about their feelings.

In another part of Matt's evaluation, Emma is the focal point, still dealing with her trip to the ravine and having everyone talk about her. She realizes what her friends have gone though before and its getting to her. Manny, trying to patch things up, offers a girls only weekend along with Chante and Darcy, to cheer her up. Spa treatments and tye-dye shirts are on the schedual and its fun for all until Emma's new neighbor, Chester, Manny's former flirtation along with his brothers set out to ruin the girl's fun.All but Emma try to play along but it doesnt work.

A- plot

There's a blood drive, and Marco is denied the ability to donate blood because he answered yes to the question of whether he's had sex with another male. With a push from Alex, Marco seizes Caitlin, who's filming a story on the blood drive, as a soap box. They confront the nurse, who says Marco was turned away because of an increased risk within the gay community of HIV infection. Ms. H steps in and asks if Marco might want to spend the rest of the day at home. Later, Marco heads to Dylan's dorm, where he catches Dylan making out with another guy. When Dylan catches up to Marco, he tells him that he wants to open up their relationship a little bit. Later, we see Marco, Ellie, Craig and Alex again talking about what a jerk Dylan is. Well, Craig wonders aloud if it's just different for guys in University. Marco decides he wants to fix the relationship, rather than give up on it, so he and Craig decide to go to his dorm party that night. Marco grabs Dylan to watch the story that Caitlin does on the blood drive, but there's nothing about him being denied the ability to donate in the piece. Eric, the guy who Marco caught kissing Dylan, comes into Dylan's room about something in the party happening. Marco tells Dylan to go, that he'll be fine. Marco is back at the dorm party and sees a guy and starts flirting with him, catching the attention of Dylan, who's standing with Eric and others in another section of the room. Marco arranges to meet up with the guy he's flirting with in a few minutes after said guy cleans his room up a little bit. Marco's too nervous to go and Craig finds him sitting on a stairwell. Later, Marco turns to see Dylan standing at the top of the stairwell and he feeks and grabs Craig and kisses him on the lips. Later, Marco goes to Dylan's room and Dylan asks him what the kiss to Craig was about. After Marco tells him it was to smack some sense into Dylan, Dylan reminds him that it was Craig that he kissed. Marco tells Dylan that he doesn't want him to see other people. Dylan tells him that it doesn't change how he feels about Marco, but his freedom is important now. Marco then breaks up with him. Later we see Marco at Caitlin's studio. He asks her about the story she did at the blood drive and she says that some people she works for would rather bury it. Caitlin then goes on a little rant about how she's sick of seeing AIDS being viewed as a homosexual disease. Marco asks if there's anything he can do? She then asks him if he's interested in possibly spending some time in the summer in Africa or the Craribbean to help educate on AIDS awareness. She asks if he has any plans for the summer? He tells her he did, but plans change.

B- plot

We first see Spin running around The Dot dealing with a very demanding customer. Jay is also there, drinking coffee and clearly amused at Spinner's
predicament. We later see Spinner walk into Ms. H's office asking for a second chance. He tells her that he's been keeping up in his textbooks. She offers him summer school- take it or leave it. He mentions that it's only two credits and it will still leave him behind, which isn't fair. She tells him that what happened to Rick because of his bullying isn't fair. Spinner begs to come back to school. She tells him no. He storms off. Outside the school Spinner discovers Jay trying to steal a bike- his bike. Jay tells him that his problem is that he keeps letting them get to you, it's about time that he got to them. Spinner then brings up the notion of stealing, which brings a wide grin across Jay's face. Later that evening, we see the two of them shooting layups at opposite ends of the gym- Jay is doing it with toilet paper rolls. Later in the cafe, Jay raids the snack counter while Spin builds a sculpture with chairs. We then see Jay cross off the Hat in Hatzilakos's name on the door to her office and replace it with "God." We later see the two of them in the MI lab scouting for loot. Spin spots a box with yearbooks in it. 'Degrassi: A year of memories.' He starts flipping through it. Jay also grabs one. Spin stops at a page featuring the picture of him and Manny at the car wash. He then sees a picture of Downtown Sasquatch playing, but the picture that really gets to him is a "Friends Forever" collage featuring Craig, Jimmy, Hazel, Paige, Marco and him. All while Spinner is looking at the year, Jay is looking at his copy wondering how small his picture is going to be. He then asks if maybe he should sign them all- 'Have a great summer- Jay Hogart.' Spinner freaks and tears the yearbook in two. He then tells Jay to follow him and grab some more yearbooks. We then see Spin carrying a clear bottle of liquid, which turns out to be lighter fluid, which he poors on a pile of the books. Spin then pulls a lighter from his pocket and flicks the light. Jay tells him that if he lights that fire the whole place is going to burn down. Spinner ignores him and flicks the light again. Jay tells him to put the toy away. Spin is surprised that Jay's trying to stop him, which Jay does admit is ironic. He than whacks the lighter out of Spinner's hand and it files across the room, a safe distance away. Spin tries to go after the lighter and the two of them fight a little bit. Spinner yells that he wants all those who want him gone to suffer. After they fight awhile, Spin breaks down and says he wants 'em back. As he friend substitute (Jay's words), Jay tells him that doing that isn't going to make him feel any better while he's in jail. Jay then helps Spinner up and Spin says they've got things to fix. The next school day, Spin is back in Ms. H's office and asks about the summer school again. She mentions that he already declined it. He then asks what if he takes it by correspondence or at another school. Impress me, she says. He tells her that there's two things he wants- to finish school and his friends back. She then pulls out forms and the summer schedule- a.k.a. his chance.

The Rivalry between Paige and Manny over, among other things, the leadership of the Spirit Squad, causes a war of attrition that leaves Paige hobbled and Manny humiliated.

For a span of time covering several episodes, Manny and Paige have been stepping on each other's toes, as though one school isn't big enough for Alpha-female Paige and her emerging rival Manny. Paige blames Manny for getting her boyfriend/teaching assistant Matt fired from his job. Meanwhile, Manny accuses Paige of abandoning the Spirit Squad and she belittles Paige's choreography. Initially, Manny wants to bury the hatchet, to declare a ceasefire with Paige, but when Paige gets sight of the dress Manny wants to buy for the prom -- the same one that Paige likes! -- the game is on. A series of tit-for-tat squabbles escalates to the point where Manny convinces the Spirit Squad to drop Paige from the top of the human pyramid, and Paige, in retaliation, tears Manny's dress off when she is declared Prom Queen, in front of the whole school. It seems there may be no end to the Manny/Paige rivalry, until Hazel steps in. When Hazel accuses Paige of "always being more horrible," something clicks for Paige. Finally, after the prom Paige and Manny talk to each other in the washroom and declare some kind of truce. Whether it will hold is anyone's guess.

Life is anything but normal in the school corridors with the arrival of Kevin Smith and his crew, who are using the school as the backdrop for their new movie. Lucky for Craig, Mr. Smith is looking for a real high school kid to come up with some music for the film. Craig and Ashley get down to work, despite the fact that Ashley cannot be convinced to abandon her plans to take a summer job in England, far away from Craig. So, if Ashley won't stay, Craig decides to go with her. At first, Craig has trouble convincing Joey that his bipolar disorder is under control enough to go away for the summer, but later, to his surprise, Joey hands him a plane ticket.
Craig goes to break the good news to Ashley that he's coming with her. But Ashley doesn't take the news the way he'd hoped. In fact, Ashley doesn't want Craig to come. She wants to be away from Craig, since she's always worrying about his mental health. Craig is crushed. Later, he throws his medication into the garbage, and as the taxi arrives to take him to the airport, he tells the driver there's been a change of plans. It looks like Craig could be in trouble again...

Both Craig and his stepfather Joey lose the loves of their lives. Ashley leaves Craig and heads off to England because she can't handle the uncertainty of his mental condition. Meanwhile, taking Kevin Smith's advice, Caitlin leaves Joey (after proposing marriage to him) and heads to Los Angeles to pursue her career ambitions, after realizing that all she and Joey ever do is fight. The fourth season of Degrassi: TNG ends with Joey and Craig forced to accept the devastating fact that the women they love may be gone forever.

Thanx for making the new thread. I'm really bored so since no one else has posted yet I guess I will. Did anyone else hear that Melissa and Daniel are coming back?

Yes I wish, but sadly, it just doesn't work that way. I guess we should be happy we are going to see some of the cast.

I was thinking about the racial issue, but the show has NEVER hit any kindof race issue at all, just a religious one. So I honestly think that that one might be pretty slim, it might happen, but at the same time, this will be the ONLY time something was based on race and the producers/writers might think that Canada is beyond that now.
This was from the old thread...I think race was touched on in "Against All Odds" with Emma and Chris's relationship (even though it wasn't explict) I think when Emma said they were on two different planets, her being on planet "White Dork" it wasn't meant as a joke. It was meant that she and Chris may be truely different just by race and how they see things. I could be reading too much into it. I wish Emma and Chris didn't break up so soon so the show could explore those issues of race and interracial relationships. Ashley and Jimmy were an interracial couples, but they were on top of the Degrassi popularity charts, Ashley, the school president and Jimmy, the jock. Plus Ashley was brunette and "browner" and Jimmy is light-skinned (Did they ever say Jimmy's mother was white or showed her?)

Anyway, off that heavy subject.

I don't know why if there's a possibility of Jiberty and Jizel getting a plot it's automatically assumed that it's going to be a break up. Use logic. Out of the two, Jizel has the MOST possibility of breaking up since the fact that Jimmy and Hazel are barely together nowadays. Otherwise, Jiberty have BARELY had anything happen to them to even say that.

Jeez.

I just think the tendency on the show has been that when those supporting couples do get the spotlight, it doesn't end up being a good thing for them. A good example would be what happened with Marco and Dylan last season. They got two main plots, in the first their relationship almost fell apart and in the second it did. But saying "probably" as I did, and making an automatic assumption that it's definitely going to be one are two different things.

Is there any word when Season 3 might be coming?
Diane-Season 3 will be coming possibly spring of 2006. We don't have a firm date yet but as soon as we do I will let you know.
That's taken from an interview with Diane Hansen, the senior brand manager at FUNimation who's essentially responsible for most of what we see on the Degrassi DVDs. You can read the rest, including some more specific information about some of the extras on the S2 DVD, here.

That's unfortunately true on some level. Look at Jalex. I know they weren't main characters, but they might as well have been during season 4. They were never in the spotlight, and then bam, Secret happens and they're done. As a couple, Spaige were okay in the subplots (DDIO was really about Terri, not them and IWC was about Ashley), then they have the spotlight on mostly them in two eps where they start to unravel (IITS). They almost broke up in GITM. Then Cranny doesn't survive as a couple in AWH. I do hope that Jazel and Jiberty will be the exceptions, because there's really no one else I can see with Hazel, and then Jiberty has so much build-up that that might be what saves them.

I think it would be a waste to build Jiberty up for so long, only to break them up one season later.

That's not a good example because Dylan was not apart of the main cast of characters. He was kind of like Chris, but more significant. Even Spaige haven't had the kind of build up that Jiberty has had and I think it would be really silly to give them all that build up just to break them up less than one season later. That to me just doesn't make sense. Even Sean and Emma got together, broke up, got back together, broke up again, and then mended ties with each other.

Well, I think whatever buildup they may or may not have done to JT and Liberty was pretty much over by the end of the second season. But regardless of that, since they got together about half-way through the season last year, in real-life time their relationship will have been in the vicinty of 8-10 months old by the time the 5th season starts. That's plenty of time for a high school relationship, and in regards to this show, not a short relationship at all.
