This week’s Entertainment Weekly includes a small blurb on Degrassi with some interesting information! According to the mag, Holly J. will appear in the last 2 episodes of season 11. They also give away the names and ages of season 12’s new character. The short article draws attention to Degrassi’s 12th season, which will also include its 300th episode.
“Most teen series struggle as their lead actors age, but EW has learned that TeenNick has just begun production on the 12th(!) season of Degrassi, which will premiere this summer and contian the show’s 300th episode. The secret to the Canadian drama’s success: allowing its high school seniors to graduate and disappear instead of following them into the AARP. To that end, Degrassi will introduce four new characters – Campbell (grade 10), Mike (grade 12), and siblings Luke and Becky (grade 11). But before that, season 11 – which airs Fridays at 9 p.m. – will wrap up with the return of a fan favourite. Recent grad Holly J (Charlotte Arnold) drops in for the final two episodes (May 11 and 18) to help her best friend, Fiona (Annie Clark) with relationship and family troubles.”
