Degrassi Cast Discuss Reboot in Toronto Star Article

After weeks without any news, Degrassi fans got a surprise this weekend when it was revealed that The Toronto Star was doing a 3-page feature on the cast’s reaction to the Degrassi reboot.

The article, which was in yesterday’s print version of the Saturday Star, includes interviews from Ephraim Ellis (Rick), producer and writer Aaron Martin, Alicia Dea Josipovic (Bianca), Miriam McDonald (Emma), Ana Golja (Zoe), Chloe Rose (Katie), Billy Parrott (Shane), co-creator and executive producer Linda Schuyler, Stacie Mistysyn (Caitlin), Cristine Prosperi (Imogen), Sara Waisglass (Frankie), Olivia Scriven (Maya), Aislinn Paul (Clare), Annie Clark (Fiona), Eric Osborne (Miles), and Melinda Shankar (Alli).

There is no new information about the reboot in this article, but it is very interesting to read the cast’s thoughts on it and what they hope to see, since most of them haven’t said much about it up to this point. The article was written by Murtz Jaffer, an entertainment writer and Degrassi fan who has interviewed the cast numerous times previously. Murtz also confirmed in his Instagram story that Stefan Brogren, Pat Mastroianni, Nina Dobrev, and Ricardo Hoyos were asked to participate in the piece but they declined.

You can read the article on The Star’s website, or check out scans from the print version below.

Stacie and Amanda Talk DJing

Stacie and Amanda (or DJ Demanda and DJ Mistylicious as they are now called lol) have been doing very well DJing their 80’s parties across Canada. They’re hosting a party in Whistler this weekend and did an interview discussing their DJing skills, their connection to Degrassi, and their surprise at how successful their parties have been. Here’s an excerpt from this article:

“DJing isn’t all we’re doing right now, it’s just kind of a hobby that we’ve just gotten more and more into as it’s developed because it’s so fun,” Mistysyn said with a laugh. “…The DJing just kind of grew out of our love for ’80s music.”
