An Update from Stephen Stohn about Degrassi’s timeline for season 10/11:
“okay there seems to be confusion about the Degrassi timeline, and when the Boiling Point began and ends, and when Season 10 begins and ends. Here’s the scoop: the Boiling Point was the first half of Season 10–it ended last week, it was 24 episodes broadcast daily.. when the Boiling Point ended we were at Winter Break… when we pick up this October we will be returning from Winter Break.. the episodes starting this October are no longer rferred to as the Boiling Point, they are simply Degrassi.. they will be broadcast weekly there will be 20 episodes broadcast weekly in the second half of Season 10.. this is down slightly from our original projection of 24…at the end of the 20 episodes in the second half of Season 10 we will be just starting Spring Break. while nothing is confirmed, the ratings for Degrassi have been so good this year that we are very confident there will be a Season 11… Season 11 would start likely in July of next year at Spring Break… ..and the first half of Season 11 would likely consist of 24 episodes broadcast daily–just like this year!”
You’ve been waiting for it… Munro Chambers is officially on Twitter! It’s been a long day of excitement for the uber Munro fans. They designated today #MunroChambersDay and have been tweeting all day, eagerly anticipating Munro’s first tweet. By the way, that first tweet was “Better late than never?” Munro has been trending in Canada and NYC today!! With the help of several Degrassi cast members, he joined at approx. 2:25pm ET. So you better follow him >> @The_Munro.
The above picture was tweeted by Stephen Stohn. Hopefully the Munro gets to celebrate #MunroChambersDay as much as all of you did!
Our cast is home safe & sound! They just returned from their trip to India earlier today. The above picture was just recently posted on Jessica Tyler’s Facebook page, and I’m sure there’s more where that came from! We do know that a film crew was with the cast filming behind the scenes footage. When & how this will be released remains to be seen. Personally I’m hoping for another half hour behind the scenes special like the ones made for the Kenya and Ecuador trips!
Of course today everybody has been talking about Munro’s future Twitter account, which he was going to create after the trip. In fact, as I write this entry, “Munro” is STILL a trending topic in Canada (he has been since the cast got back this morning). According to Stephen Stohn Munro will “set it up Monday during a break in his filming!”
Straight from Epitome to my email inbox, first of all I can tell you guys that a Degrassi mobile app is now in development! I don’t know all of the details yet but they did tell me that it is both “informative and fun”!! Exciting!!!

And last but certainly not least, I can now tell you guys that I will be visiting the Degrassi set THIS MONDAY!! As most of you already know, this is my prized for winning the Ultimate Fan Contest! Kiley & I will be traveling to Toronto to meet the cast & crew! I am so unbelievably excited just to visit Degrassi itself!! Of course I will be sharing everything I can with you guys so stay tuned for that. And once again I want to give a big thank you to everyone who voted for me last month!! This really means soo much!
Are you following the characters on twitter yet? It’s a great way to interact with the show and get in on the latest Degrassi updates! A bunch more Degrassi character accounts are now live. The lovely folks at Epitome have sent me a complete list of all the characters on Twitter so far. Keep in mind these are character twitter accounts - not the cast!

Also, if you aren’t already, make sure you follow @HeatherDegrassi AKA HEATHER POULETTE. Straight from Epitome: she is a secret gossip girl character that attends Degrassi- you won’t see her on tv, but you will hear her mentioned.
Each character will tweet more frequently as the storyline develops. They will be leaking photos, tweeting each other, and providing commentary! Sounds like fun, right?
Epitome also tells me that we will be seeing vodcasts with the cast in the near future!! Luke & Melinda will be gushing over their Wonderland obsession among other things! Stay tuned for that on the Much blog soon (and I’ll be linking it here too of course!)
This morning myself, Degrassi Blog, and Degrassi Nation got the chance to speak via video conference call to Abby from Epitome. It was a lot of fun! I can honestly say that they have some great online content coming out soon that you guys are going to love!
In the meantime I encourage you all to follow Sav, Fiona, and Holly J. on Twitter! They will be tweeting as the episodes go on, and interacting with them looks like it will be a ton of fun! Right now Sav & Holly J. are wrapped up in their election campaign and Fiona is supporting Holly J. Who knows maybe you might even get a season 10 tidbit or two…

We now have all the titles for the first half of season 10, thanks to Stephen Stohn’s twitter. He reminds us that these episodes are not two parters in that they will not air as an hour long episode, and the stories don’t necessarily “flow” that way. Instead, the same writer is responsible for two episodes.
10×01/10×02 - ‘What A Girl Wants’
10×03/10×04 - ‘Breakaway’
10×05/10×06 - ‘99 Problems’
10×07/10×08 - ‘Better Off Alone’
10×09/10×10 - ‘I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself’
10×11/10×12 - ‘Try Honesty’
10×13/10×14 - ‘You Don’t Know My Name’
10×15/10×16 - ‘My Body Is A Cage’
10×17/10×18 - ‘Tears Dry On Their Own’
10×19/10×20 - ‘Still Fighting It’
10×21/10×22 - ‘Purple Pills’
10×23/10×24 - ‘All Falls Down’
Thanks to Stephen Stohn on Twitter, we now know the Canadian premiere date for Degrassi Takes Manhattan! Stephen tweeted that it will premiere on Friday, July 16th on Much Music. A few days later, on Monday, July 19th, season 10 will premiere (also on Much Music)! Stephen also confirmed that the last few episodes of season 9 will continue starting THIS Monday on Much.
No word yet on the exact Degrassi Takes Manhattan & season 10 premiere date for TeenNick. But we are expecting it to be air around the same time. For now check out TeenNick’s Preview from the movie.
The excitement for season 10 is building as today was the first readthrough for the new season. Almost all of the cast members were in attendance including 4 new characters. Their names have yet to be revealed but we will surely get this information soon! The buzz about the readthrough is already all over Twitter. Here are a few highlights:
First readthrough of season 10….unbelievable. What an amazing bunch of actors and writers. Just epic. And it’s just the begining. - Stefan Brogren
First readthrough of epic 10th Season. Very exciting. Couldn’t ask for a better team. - Sam Earle
Season 10 orientation for Degrassi today! Oh how I’ve missed it. Loved seeing everyone, and thanks to TeenNick for the iPod docking station! - Judy Jiao
