Hey guys! Sorry for not updating in a while. Degrassi news has been slow lately. At least we only have 1 month left until the 2nd half of season 10 premieres!!!! October 8th!! I can’t wait!
I just wanted to let you guys know that a few Degrassi people have tweeted that the cast will be doing a meet & greet this Saturday in Toronto. It’s from 2-3pm at 98 Yorkville Ave. It’s for an Etalk event and if I find out more I’ll let you guys know!! Hopefully some of you can attend.
Update: Cast members expected to attend include Aislinn, AJ, Alicia, Argiris, Charlotte, Cory Lee, Jordan, Munro, Raymond, Shannon, Spencer, Luke, and Daniel!!!
Ashley and I will also be there, and hopefully I will get a lot of pictures!! Follow me on Twitter to stay updated!!
Check out this Charlotte Arnold interview with Back Stage from last week. She is adorable. In the little excerpt below she talks about staying grounded. She also discusses filming so many episodes for Degrassi and her real life high school experience!
A2W: How do you remain grounded?
CA: You need normalcy, and you need a family that’s going to keep you firmly on the ground. There are even people who I know in Toronto who are unbearably diva-like. I look at that and think, “You look ridiculous. People don’t want to spend time with you.”
It’s funny being here (in the U.S.), all the different people we meet who are involved in the industry, they’re so used to having people make demands. They’re rushing to please you. Ray (her co-star Raymond Ablack) and I are just like, “We’ll take what we can get. We’re happy to be here.”
Dose.ca posted this new video interview with Landon & Annie being their adorable selves - talking about the new format and the now infamous kiss between their characters in Degrassi Takes Manhattan. How can anybody not love them?
Alloy.com has been collecting your questions to the Degrassi cast and now they have answered! Melinda, Sam, Ray, and Charlotte all answer questions on their favourite character, cast friendships, and more! Sam even gives this perfect analysis about his character KC:
What is your favorite thing about your character?
Sam: I love the fact that K.C. is always a little difficult to read. At first it seems like a quiet confidence surrounds him, but gradually we discover that this is partially a facade that distracts and allows him to bury certain profound vulnerabilities. It’s taking him a long time to get past all his self consciousness in order to figure out who he really is. He’s getting here, and I enjoy that complexity and the layers that are revealed in that journey.
Ray and Charlotte have each done individual interviews with CosmoGirl which are viewable on their website. The interviews talk about the usual season 10 spoilers, but Ray & Charlotte also tell us a few inside stories and tidbits. Ray also gushes about Celine Dion:
CG: When did you start singing?
RA: My favorite singer, and you’re going to just cringe, is Celine Dion. A lot of Canadians don’t like Celine Dion, but I love her. My mom and I love Celine Dion. She was my first concert ever. Then I saw Titanic when I was really young and at my grade three talent show, I sang “My Heart Will Go On.” Actually, I went up with a puppet, and I did a comedy routine first. Then I sang “My Heart Will Go On” and won the talent show.
Gotta love him for that! Read Ray’s interview right here and Charlotte’s over here.
Melinda & Aislinn posted this video to Youtube last night telling us what they have been up to lately. They talk a bit about Degrassi’s upcoming season as well as a really emotional scene they shot together yesterday. It sounds amazing, and definitely has everybody talking. Can’t wait to see what this storyline is about!
TeenNick posted more of their interview with Charlotte & Ray and also included the above picture of them looking pretty.
They were asked: “If you could play another character on Degrassi who would it be and why?” The answer? Declan for Ray and Snake for Charlotte! lol. Check it out right here!
