The future of Degrassi is looking bright with this one. So far I really like Frankie and I like the way they took their time introducing her via her relationships with Miles and Zoe.

She didn't have a big role in tonight's episode, but Sara really brought it tonight. That scene with Frankie and Zoe outside the courtroom was terrific, with great performances by both girls.

Nekoshoujo

Completely agree. One thing about Sara she makes the most of her screen time. Loved the Zoe/Frankie scene. Really intense and just another moment from last night's episode that showcased how actual teenagers react in these situations.

I too enjoyed the Frankie/Zoe scene. I was hoping for a variety of reactions from Zoe's peers and that one lived up to my expectations.

Anyone think that Frankie could have an eating disorder plot in her future? I hope it carries on longer than Emma's if there is one.

We're not the only ones who were impressed with Ana and Sara the other night. The following was posted by Brendan Jeffers, aka the unfortunately named Vince:

Well for a while I had thoughts that she would be the next character getting a pregnancy story line, and that could still happen. But, with it becoming more apparent that she's headed to the spot light and that we're likely heading towards a Zoe/Frankie/Maya led show as this current group of 12th graders finally leave, I'm beginning to re-think that as those pregnancy/baby story lines don't tend to go to the featured leads. They tend to go to the second tier characters, ala Liberty and Jenna. It would be perhaps too cynical to suggest that's because they don't want to tie down their lead girls with a baby, but I do remember how quickly Mia ditched her baby on to her mother when Nina got pushed out in front.

Anyway, an eating disorder does make some sense as we've seen that she has some body image issues. If they do go that route I do have some confidence that they'll give this story line some time as I think they've done a better job of that in recent years with major story lines. That's probably a byproduct of these seasons having so many episodes.

What if the eating disorder carries out for a season or so, Frankie isn't fully recovered from it when she gets pregnant, and miscarries? I've been wanting to see a miscarriage since Jenna.

Sara did a twitter party!

I said it before & I'll say it again: If they are building up Frankie to be the new Emma, Clare, or even Maya (In prep for when both Clare and Maya are off the show) and have her be the new "main girl", I won't object.

Nekoshoujo

yeah me neither. I like that she's getting a bigger role now.

kaleidocat

I think that it is likely we will be seeing more of her next season. Hey, does Zoe and the rest of her friends know about her relationship with Winston? Have they judged her at all for it? Is that why they weren't at the dance? (excuse me, my brain has been foggy)

Astroman129

^ They weren't at the dance because they were rained in due to the storm, I believe. Or maybe they just wanted some alone time. Regardless, I'm sure they know about Frankston because of Frankie's plot in Hypnotize/Out of My Head.

kaleidocat

And of course Munro has to be there.

Probably the q&a I liked the most was what was their favorite scene to shoot together. It was when they brought Zoe breakfast. And the second is yet to come! They said it is "emotional and dramatic."

I think Frankie might get the eating disorder plot eventually. at least I hope she will. I've been waiting for an ED plot that lasts for more than one episode.

kaleidocat

She was pretty memorable with her family in "...spirit." Cute banter with Miles about his sexuality and seemed like she was doing that to try to diffuse the situation. I wonder if that is the role she plays in their dysfunctional fam often.

I can't remember if we saw her interact with Zoe or not though. We didn't did we? I think I would remember. Or maybe I was just focused on Zoe vs. Becky. I should do a rewatch - I enjoyed the premiere quite a bit.
