Charlotte & Ray Talk Season 10

Charlotte & Ray have been busy promoting Degrassi Takes Manhattan in New York this past week. One of their best interviews comes from Crushable.com. There they discuss everything from season 10 spoilers to Ray’s girlfriend to their biggest fans. It’s definitely a must read! Here is an excerpt:

How do you feel about leaving the show, now that you’re Grade 12s?

Raymond: I don’t want to. I don’t know if I’ll ever find another family like the one here at Degrassi. It’s not something I’m looking forward to, leaving this show, but all good things must come to an end.

Charlotte: Yeah, me either. I mean, obviously starting as a Grade 10 you knew that it was going to come to an end eventually. They tried the university story lines and I think it’s better to keep it in school, so we’re all pretty realistic. And last year, a bunch of our cast mates left – five last year…every year everyone’s used to leaving and new kids come in, and that’s one good thing about it. But the other good thing about Degrassi is you can always come back. Oftentimes they write characters back. And I’m sure we’ll visit and see everyone. It will be sad.

3 days left guys!!!!!! ♥

TeenNick Interviews Charlotte & Ray

TeenNick has posted a new interview with Charlotte Arnold and Ray Ablack discussing season 10. Here’s what they said we have to look forward to:

Charlotte: Ok, what I’m most passionate about in all the story lines is sort of the gender identity situation which, we can’t give too much away cause it’s gonna unfold the way it will. But that topic I was really excited that they tackled.
There’s also some other completely… like, even the most recent scripts we read, some of the areas they go to with Eli’s character? I had no idea what was going on with Eli’s character when I read the script. I was like, “Oh my god, this is something they sooo haven’t tackled before.”
And then just in general, everything has really been stepped up. Like right from the first episode — Fiona’s going through some really rough stuff. There’s a lot of tension… I mean, that’s why it’s called the Boiling Point; there’s tension building underneath the surface of every character. And it all comes to a head…

Sounds very exciting!! Read the full interview right here!

Aislinn Paul in OTM WebZine

Aislinn Paul recently appeared in OTM WebZine. The three page spread, which can be downloaded in the current issue here, includes brand new photos as well as an interview. Aislinn discusses her role on Degrassi as well as how she keeps a balance between acting and normal school life. She also talks about some of her really bad audition experiences, like in this excerpt:

Aislinn recalls one in particular: five kids were lined up for a non-speaking role, Aislinn being one of them. The casting director was asking them all a series of questions like, “What’s your favourite game? What do you like to do? What T.V. shows do you watch?” When he fired the questions at Aislinn, she honestly responded, “You ask way too many questions!”
The casting director took her outside, handed her over to her dad, and she obviously didn’t get the part.
“My parents have always told me that acting isn’t my life yet – it’s something I can do for fun,” says Aislinn, “so I learned not to take rejections like that to heart.”

To read the full interview and download all the pictures, all you have to do is download the Summer 2010 issue of the zine. Big thanks to the Aislinn thread at Fan Forum for this info!

Degrassi Kids Reflect on Drake

A new article in The National Post describes how the current Degrassi cast members are reacting to Drake’s success and album release. Here is a little excerpt:

“If you saw him on the street, what would you call him, Aubrey or Drake?” asks Degrassi cast member Melinda Shankar, who plays Alli Bhandari on the show, at a listening session of Thank Me Later in a classroom on the set of the long-running show.
“Aubrey, because that’s what I knew him as first,” responds Paula Brancati (Jane Vaughn on the show), who says she enjoyed performing with Graham, even if he spent much of the time glued to his BlackBerry.
