TeenNick uploaded a flipbook for “Just Can’t Get Enough.” Click here to check it out. It features pictures of Peter, Mia, KC, Clare, Declan, Fiona, Anya, and Sav.
Jake Epstein will be making a guest appearance on the CBC series “Being Erica.” The episode airs tonight on CBC. Here is the episode synopsis:
A lover’s quarrel between Erica and Ethan sends Erica back to camp, where discovering the truth about a broken teenage romance teaches her that the only sure path through conflict is communication.
My guess is that Jake is the one involved in this “broken teenage romance.” I will upload Jake’s scenes either tonight or tomorrow!
Jessica Tyler is joining the cast of Degrassi in season 9 as Jenna. Not only is she a talented actress but she is also a musician. You can now download three of her songs on iTunes! The songs are called “Shine,” “Just a Girl,” and “Crazy Love.” We’re loving the acoustic-pop feel to these songs. Check them out!
A sneak peak of Melinda Shankar’s new show How to be Indie aired on YTV last night and I uploaded the episode to youtube. Make sure you @melindashankar and tell her what you think!
Also, Melinda will be doing an interview tomorrow with CBC Radio. Hopefully I will be able to record & post it tomorrow night.
They’ve traveled the world, they’re worked with Craig Kielburger when he made his cameo on Degrassi, and once again our cast will be appearing at We Day 2009. We Day is Free the Children’s annual event. This year it will take place on Sept. 29th in Vancouver and Oct. 5th in Toronto. Thousands of teenagers from across Canada will attend one of the two events where they will listen to speakers and learn how they can change the world. The Degrassi cast has been there for the past 2 years, and this year is no exception. They will be speaking at both the Vancouver and Toronto events this year.
We Day will be streamed live online and to classrooms across Canada. On Sept. 29th in Vancouver the Degrassi cast is scheduled to speak at 10:49am (Pacific Time), and in Toronto on Oct. 5th they are on at 10:40am (Eastern Time). Check out the We Day website for all the details on times, live streams, and how you can get involved! You can also go to Freethechildren.com and download an official guide for watching the event, with information on all the speakers and when they will be on stage.
Uploaded a bunch of caps to the gallery of Landon and Jahmil (who play Declan and Dave on Degrassi in season 9) on Flashpoint. Click the thumbnails to check them out!
As well, I uploaded their scenes to youtube. Can’t wait to see them in Degrassi this season!
MSN has a mini episode synopsis for the first 8 episodes of season 9. Each is only like a sentence long, but it does tell us the main theme and characters of each episode.
In order to keep all the news about season 9 in one place, I’ve put together a page where it can all be posted. The information mainly comes from tweets from the cast & crew on Twitter. It will be updated more and more over the next month as season 9 gets closer. You can check it out frequently to keep updated on the latest season 9 news and spoilers.
