Several actor interviews have implied big storylines will happen for their characters and others come NC. I'm just hoping NC restores the realism I once felt while watching Degrassi. The past few seasons have felt too glammed up and dramatic where I don't feel like I'm watching teenagers in high school making it through life. It worked for a show like 90210 due to the setting, but for a Canadian show it just feels out of place. While entertaining, how many high school students could relate to the gang plots recently shown (or even back in season 11) or Katie's storyline in Las Vegas? Sometimes it all just feels a little too over the top. Degrassi has always been about being real, but lately it feels just like it is; a TV show. Showdown in S12 was truly AMAZING because it focused on real life issues teens face everyday like Maya's insecurities about her boobs especially when next to her best friend Tori, Zig's poor upbringing, Cam's depression, etc etc. So, my biggest hope is we get that real high school feeling back which is what has always made Degrassi, well, Degrassi!
