Degrassi.tv has a new episode summary of the premiere of season 9 titled “Just Can’t Get Enough.” This episode is set to air on Oct. 4th at 7pm on CTV. No US airdate has been announced yet, but we expect it to air sometime this fall.
The summary states: “When Mia is offered a MAJOR modeling contract in Paris, Peter decides he’ll go with her. But he soon realizes he doesn’t fit into her sophisticated world. At a posh party, feeling frustrated and insecure, an unlikely guest offers an escape, snorting something. Soon enough, Peter’s ‘trip’ goes terribly wrong.
Back at Degrassi, Alli is concerned when new girl Jenna focuses on becoming Clare’s friend. There’s no way this is going to end well - and no way Alli’s going to let it…”
There’s been so much press for Degrassi Goes Hollywood, premiering on CTV tonight at 8:00pm. Here’s a bunch of articles, including interviews with the cast.
Finally, I was able to get all of my video clips uploaded this morning. Here’s a list of what you can find at our Youtube channel.

In a new article about Degrassi Goes Hollywood, some new information about season 9 has surfaced! The article (click here to read it) mainly talks about Degrassi Goes Hollywood and what has been going on with the old cast, but it concludes with this information on season 9:
“Upcoming storylines include the football jock Riley, who will continue to question his sexuality, a dangerous meth addiction that takes over another character, and an unhealthy relationship that develops between a student and their older mentor.”
Sounds very interesting! You can also check out a recording of the season 9 promo that aired at the Degrassi Goes Hollywood premiere screening right here on youtube!

My day began on a train at 5:30am and ended with me hanging out with the Degrassi cast as if we were friends. It was amazing. I don’t think I stopped smiling all night.
