Popgurls.com interview with Jake Epstein:

Which girl would you pick? Can you tell me?

Jake: Personally? Ashley. I mean, honestly, I never understood the Manny/Craig relationship. I just think the two characters wouldn't go well together in real life.

I think this is the most mature couple on the show. I'd really like it if she forgave him!!!

konstantine · 07-14-2004, 09:05 PM

Most people don't like Ashley because they think she overreacted with the whole thing but I'm just like... how would you feel if the guy you loved slept with somebody else? Especially at 15 or whatever age they were. Things seem better between them after he wrote that song so I'm hoping for something to happen between them next season. I don't want them to rush right back into a relationship but even a friendship would be nice, like in "Dressed in Black".

Lyndsi · 07-14-2004, 09:24 PM

they are the best couple on the whole show...I love them together...

Candice L. · 07-14-2004, 09:56 PM

Sigh. I remember the first time I wanted Ashley and Craig together. It was in "Dressed in Black", when they had to work on the project together and Craig approached her and asked to work with her. I remember thinking, "Hey. They'd be cute together, since Jimmy's being kind of crappy to her right now." And then in "Tears Are Not Enough", she went to comfort him.

Anyone have any fan fic recs?

LivingInTheOCsucks · 07-15-2004, 08:23 AM

I like to forget the eps when he cheated on her... and pretend they are happy and on a summer vacation together..... on some crapy beach in Canada

konstantine · 07-15-2004, 09:59 AM

That would definitely be nice.

"Dressed in Black" is one of my favorite Degrassi episodes of all time. Especially that scene with Craig and Ash in the forest, where I took Craig's line and put it for this thread title. He was really sweet to her in that episode and their play was great, too.

LivingInTheOCsucks · 07-15-2004, 10:02 AM

I think that Craig just got lost in the teenage splender that is many girls loving you...
but ash was so good for him brb

Candice L. · 07-16-2004, 04:11 PM

Well, I have one fiction rec... my first Degrassi story happened to be Ashley/Craig. Let Her Cry. Read and enjoy!

I really hope they get back together... I haven't been watching, but Craig isn't like dating Manny right?

konstantine · 07-16-2004, 08:57 PM

No, he isn't going out with anyone right now.

LidelKewte · 07-16-2004, 10:19 PM

They were a great couple, definality meant to be.

Him and Ashley went better. i mean Craig and Manny were awkward. i know alot of people like him with manny better because they showed alot more passionate kisses between them and stuff. but im sure there would have been some with craig/ashley if the writers showed more crashly instead of cranny!

And i dont see why people can sit there and talk about ashley being over dramatic. How come nobody ever says nething about manny being over obcessed!!! i like manny and all, but everyonr is always talking about ashley...but put yourself in her shoes. think about how much craig hurt her.

MegaJ · 07-17-2004, 01:54 AM

SPOILER ALERT.

Yes, people are so quick to point out Ashely's dramatics, but no one notices Manny's naivete. Didn't she want in a cold garage just so Craig could show up? And she thought she and Craig could be a happy family with the baby? Craig and Manny could never work, Craig never really liked her to begin with until Manny started putting out.

**starsprite** · 07-17-2004, 11:00 AM

Craig & Ashley are one of my fav couples!!! Him and Manny just didn't work at all...I mean they're sooo different and he even said he never would have been with Manny if it hadn't been for his problems with Ash. I really hope they get back together sometime next season!

T'Lynn · 07-18-2004, 03:39 PM

I think as they get older they will realize the mistakes they made and they'll work it out.

Ashley got too attached too quickly and Craig got scared and made a huge mistake. At least now they're talking!
