She was in the episode last night with Tristan. She and Maya are still not friends.

I wonder why she's crying in the promo.

So, I think many of us have a Tori-focused plot at or near the top of our Season 13 wish list. Any ideas on what you think could be a good story line for her?

Hmm well I know what I'd not like to see. I'd not like to see another rich girl goes poor storyline again since they did it with Holly J and then once again with Fiona. I'm pretty sure Tori's bio said she was wealthy so if that's true then yeah, I'd like her to remain wealthy throughout her time on the show.

They need to focus on Tori. She's become my favorite niner.

Apparently, Alex is leaving the show.

Man am I disappointed. I was really hoping to see more of her next season. At least it was Alex's choice and wasn't let go for other reasons.

[JustMe2000]

Yeah, I was figuring that we'd get a Tori plot at some point during the summer episodes- and I was really looking forward to it. Damn. I'm going to miss her.

[ihavealife2uknow]

With so many cast members leaving I imagine she would have had a bigger role next season had she stayed on the show. I was hoping her character would kind of breakout like Manny did in season 3.

Hi Benji!!!

Usually when the headlines describe a shocker, it isn't one. But this one actually is. Best of luck to Alex! Maybe they will leave Tori's exit open for a return. I hope they don't send her to another country like they do with all the others.

They would be funny if that became the running joke, those who left got sent off to different countries.

I just hope they don't try to do to much with it, just say her father or mother had to take a job in a different part of Canada or something. Sometimes simple is better.

[Forwood4Bamon]

that sucks she's leaving. I liked her.

[JustMe2000]

I just hope they actually mention that she moved away or transferred schools or whatever. This show has a tendency at times to just forget about characters as if they never existed (see: Wesley as a prime example).

[NocturnalCouchPotato]

Aw, it's always sad to see a character leave before graduation. I never realized how much I was interested in her. I definitely agree that she could've become big if she stayed on. I wonder if the Degrassi writers planned on using her more or even tried to make her stay. It's gonna be interesting to see how this will change the dynamic up next season.

[Nekoshoujo]

Well, we got an explanation for her absence but we also felt it in a very heavy way. Zoe is a little too close to Tori for my liking. And the Tristan/Maya friendship didn't play as well last night because instead of playing off their actual friendship, it really seemed like Maya just took Tori's place in the Tristan/Tori friendship dynamic. I think Alex and Lyle just had a special kind of chemistry with one another.

I just miss her a lot more than I thought I would.
