In light of Fiona’s storyline tonight, TeenNick has posted a new interview with Annie Clark. While Annie was in LA last month, she talked to TeenNick’s blogger Lisa about playing Fiona, her celebrity crush, Fiona’s upcoming storylines, and getting her driver’s license.
Most Degrassi fans would agree that Fiona’s alcoholism storyline has been a highlight from the past few seasons. In this interview, Annie explained how Fiona is still dealing with her addiction. “She’s still struggling with the whole drinking thing,” Annie said. “That’s one of my favorite things that the writers did with my storyline, because it wasn’t just like “oh, for these four episodes, she’s going to have a drinking problem.” It’s something she’s been struggling with for like two seasons. It’s consistent.”
Annie also discusses the writer’s decision to keep Fiona back a year: “That’s the only circumstance where you tell people you’re failing and they’re like “Congratulations!” We also joke that like, if you get a problem on the show, it’s like “Congratulations, you’re going to have so many storylines!” Like, you want to get an STI or something.”
