Welcome! This thread is for anyone who basically hated Craig & Manny together. But remember: No bashing of people who like them, don’t try and turn anything into a competition or a war. That is immature and childish. This is not a place to do that. This is a place just to discuss hating them together. Its rude to bash and all that, but there’s nothing wrong with expressing your opinion on the couple. So here is a thread for people to talk about not liking them! Have fun!

1. saying it wasn't the locker he didn't like, but her
2. not returning her phone calls
3. always wanting to just make out and getting a look of annoyance on his face most of the time when she wanted to talk
4. bragging about it to Spinner(that was a dis towards Ash too)
5. only having sex with her once (but we have no clue why it happened only once. Perhaps Manny didn't want to do it a second time while he was with Ash, whenever they tried they get interrupted or they couldn't get the time alone, Craig wanted to be with Ash and not Manny)
6. the fact that even though he said was going to dump Ash for her, he couldn't. If he was really that into her a guitar wouldn't have a made a difference.
7. leaving her once the baby was gone


Art by: Callie



1. Because they had a relationship more then sex.
2. Because she was there for him.
3. Because he regrets cheating on her with Manny.
4. Because he couldn't dump Ashley for her.
5. Because Ashley gets him.
6. Because even Jake likes Crash better then Cranny.
7. Because Ashley wanted to know Craig loved her first, Manny didn't care.



Take My Breath Away - This was supposed to show the cute side of Cranny, but did nothing more then show the disastrous ways. We see their date was horrible and Craig says Manny reminded him of his 5 year old half sister Angela. Manny was unbelievably annoying, decorating Craig's locker and telling him not to talk to Ashley. Craig wasn't much better telling her it wasn't the locker that he didn't like, but in fact it was her.

Should I Stay or Should I Go - A year later after Manny dresses more "mature", and Craig and Ashley have a fight, Manny is there. This is the episode that screwed up Crash. Manny chased after him, after he had a fight with his girlfriend and took advantage of that. Craig wasn't better himself accepting, because we find out that Monday and Craig hasn't returned any of her calls. We see Crash hook up, and Manny is hurt by Craig once more.

Holiday - What started off bad went to worse. Craig finally told Manny that she was the one and he was going to dump Ashley. We realize that he was lying. Which isn't shocking. Manny is ended up hurt by this as did Ashley and Craig.

Accident's Will Happen - Craig's extremely obsessive in this when Manny gets pregnant, thinking he can have a family. Manny later ends up having an abortion, and as soon as the baby was gone, he was too.

Bark at the Moon - Enough said. Craig told Manny she was his biggest mistake since coming to Degrassi.

Journal Quotes from Craig and Manny

Craig: All I'll say is that I guess I had sex with someone. Great, right? I wish. I can barely remember what happened. I do know this much - it wasn't with the person I planned or wanted to do it with in the first place, but instead with someone else...who's not so bad.
Craig: Mostly because I didn't want to call her back after she left me all these happy bubbly girly phone messages that just reminded me why things didn't work out last year. What was I supposed to say? That was interesting. Thanks, but...sorry?
Craig: I just got lucky so far that my girlfriend hasn't found out about my secret Manny thing. Man, if she does....
Craig: If Manny keeps it a secret like she said she would, this could be the best thing ever! Dude, this could totally ROCK!! I'd be living out Spinner's fantasy! Like a rock star, just without the fame or money. I could have my girlfriend to hang out with, but I could have a little somethin somethin on the side for GTs.
Manny: ever since this morning when i realised that Craig still wants to be with his stupid uptight girlfriend and he just used me for sex...
Manny: i feel like he used me to get back at Ash for the constant greef she gives him all the time. maybe he had no feelings 4 me at all...maybe i'm just a ****...
Manny: Just because I'm not afraid to be with the guy I like and who i KNOW also likes me even if he SAYS he still has a girlfriend. He sure doesn't act like it when he's around me!!!



Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darlin' you give love, a bad name

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love, got a hold on me
when passion's a prison, you can't break free

Whoa!
You're a loaded gun
Yeah, whoa...
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name

You paint that smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

Whoa!
You're a loaded gun
Whoa...
There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love...

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name

Death Cab for Cutie - Tiny Vessels

This is the moment that you know
That you told her that you loved her but you don't
You touched her skin and then you think
That she is beautiful, but she don't mean a thing to me.
Yeah she is beautiful, but she don't mean a thing to me

I spent two weeks in Silverlake, the California sun cascading down my face
There was a girl with light brown streaks,
And she was beautiful, but she didn't mean a thing to me
Yeah she was beautiful, but she didn't mean a thing to me

I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking as we moved together in the dark
And all the friends that I was telling all the playful misspellings and every bite I gave that left a mark
Then tiny vessels oozed into your neck and formed the bruises that you said you didn't want to fade
But they did and so did I that day

All I see are dark gray clouds in the distance moving closer with every hour
So when you'd ask, "Is something wrong?" (I'd think)
"You're damn right there is, but we can't talk about it now. No we can't talk about it now."

So one last touch and then you'll go and we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
But it was vile and it was cheap and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me.
Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me

Past Thread Titles

1. Because she stalked him
2. Because he never wanted her to miss him
3. Because "the mistake" broke up Crash
4. Because they both moved on.
5. Because a relationship shou be based on trust, not lies.
6. Because it was over before it started
7. Because he broke his promise.

Why We Dislike Craig and Manny

We have varous reasons to dislike Craig and Manny, But in genral it is how there relationship caused eachother nothing but pain. Manny with not having her and Craig's child, and Craig for breaking her heart a multiple number of times. For example. In TMBA he told her it was her he disliked but not the locker. A year later after sneaking around between his girlfriend Ashley's back. he played her as well after breaking his promise that he would dump Ashley and she was the one. Many can say it was because of the "guitar" she gave him that made him stay. But if Craig had really caed about their relationship with Manny. and if she really was the one, then he woud've dumped Ashley on the spot, despite the guitar. Another year later Craig told Manny that he had made a lot of mistakes since arriving at Degrassi, but that she was the biggest, and he wanted to take back what they have. The relatinship now is buried to deep and it'd be pointless to put them together now. It was buried to deep after Craig said Manny dressed like his sister. He only noticed her a year later after she started to dress more "maturely". Proving he only liked her becaouse she was hot. We want these two to be happy, but it's obvious they're not happy together.

froggiepopple

YAY new thread! I think Jauren's bitch asked to be added and so did someone else I think.

Mayberry

Added her. Who else wanted to be added?

breath we drew

Just her. YAY! New thread.

froggiepopple

touteXeseule also wanted to be added.

breath we drew

Oh? That's cool. . Two new members. So happy.

Mayberry

Yea, welcome to our new members. Added both.

Do you guys think Emma and Manny will ever be really close again? I mean, like season 1 close. This is just me thinking of a question based on the title.

froggiepopple

I honestly hope they will be close, but if that means that Manny has to be in Emma's shadow again I don't want it to happen.

Mayberry

Yeah, I didn't like Manny being in her shadow. I think Manny's grown so much she could never be in that position again, at least I hope so. I do miss them hanging out though. Darcy, Chante, and others are usually with them now.

LidelKewte

Hey guys I kno im not really a choker anymore but I just had to say I love the tital well cyas around on other threads!!

PNUT013

Hey LidelKewte!

I think Emma and Manny are the best non coupling relationship and I think no matter what happens, they will always be friends.

Mayberry

Hey LidelKewte! Thanks.

I agree, Jamie. Their relationship is really interesting, and even though they dislike what the other is doing, they always seem to be there for one another.

Another question: Do you think Manny is over Craig?

breath we drew

No. I don't sadly. I think she still has feelings for him, although I don't know if they're as strong as they were before. But it's obvious Criag will NEVER return those feelings.

I actually do think Manny is over Craig. I don't like how Manny is always falling in and out of love. I wouldn't mind of being single for a couple of episodes without any ties to a relationship. I think if Manny and Craig were to have something again it would be Manny initiating it.

I think she's somewhere in the middle. I say this because she compared both of her relationships this year (Janny and Spanny) to the one she had with Craig, but that speech to Spin seemed like she wanted to start fresh. I really want her to move on, and agree with Jamie that her being single for awhile would be good.
