Degrassi - Old School Degrassi Appreciation#2: Everybody wants The Zit Remedy to reunite on TNG - Page 3

Snake really was a jerk to Wheels, but the show did a decent job of showing both Snake and Joey helping him, so he wasn't a total jerk. Eh, I love those three. I wish they showed more Wheels in current Degrassi.

I wonder what would happen if someone did do a series focusing all around the adults? What would happen?

I thought Wheels could have been a good figure to bring around (or at least mention) during the situation with Spin after the shooting.

Oh and the Spepper thread wants you to post.

I was kind of hoping that that was the Stepto/Mistysyn project

Sadly, I don't think that all desired cast members would return

Wheels was such a pivotal character in the original, it's disappointing that he's not around. In SISOSIG he seems to still have his acting skills (and good looks!)

I wish Wheels had stayed in the series like Joey and Snake did. Seeing more of his and Snake's reconciliation would have been ~~perfect fanbait for me~~ interesting.

Marki · 12-02-2008, 10:03 PM

lol! yeah wheels would have been awesome to whole trio back.

varjak-golightly · 12-02-2008, 10:05 PM

Because EVERYBODY WANTS THE ZIT REMEDY TO REUNITE! Aww, there isn't a band icon

Reminds me of a time when some people might have smoked some funny stuff. Like, you know, this past weekend.

Psycho Key

Episode 2? But yeah, random, sorry.

Wheels was the coolest. I was overjoyed when I saw him in the ep he, Joey, and Snake went bowling. I was like OMG WHO IS THAT? Then Snake called him Wheels and I was like OMG OMG OMG OLD SCHOOL.

Seriously everything is better in caps.

Yes, I was exaggerating, but if every episode is a week, that's two and a half months. Hell, if every episode is two weeks apart, it'd be five months... still hardly ages! (Which is why it's unintentionally hilarious.)

I wish Wheels would come back again too. But wasn't the actor completely ashamed of Degrassi for years and years, and refused to have anything to do with it? How odd. If I were in a Degrassi episode for three seconds and hidden in the background of a scene, I would spend the rest of my life bragging to everyone with whom I ever came in contact.

Oh, I was talking about the Psycho Key song! Not you, sorry

Though I do love randomness!

Speaking of people in the background, I read an interview with Stefan Brogren and he said that in the early days the directors etc didn't pay attention to the background characters, only those who were portraying the story. Because of this, the kids in the background would try to do silly things, because the grown ups wouldn't notice until editing! Apparantly there is one scene where Billy Parrot (Shane) is in the background stealing a desk! If anyone finds out where that is... PLEASE LET ME KNOW
