Comments Off on Justin Kelly on Eclare vs. Cake
We are now getting into the swing of things Degrassians, and the cast have been doing interviews galore this week! The latest comes from Degrassi newbie Justin Kelly AKA Clare’s new love interest, Jake. The TV Addict posted this interview with him today, in which he talks about joining the show and his character’s relationship with Clare. He also mentions the ongoing Cake vs. Eclare shipper wars. Here is what he had to say about that:
Are you at all nervous about how the fandom will react to your character coming in between “eClare” and what do you think of “Cake?”
I love it. I think it’s great. Especially with the whole dynamic with “eClare,” I think the battle of the desserts is really something. I think that “eClare,” Eli and Clare together have built such an iconic TV relationship over the last season and to step into that, to be that other guy that breaks up “eClare,” I don’t believe that “eClare” fans are going to like them [Jake and Clare] off the top if they’’re keen on Eli. But at the same time Jake and Clare start to build their own bond throughout the season and we really see a change from where they meet back in the third episode to where they are now.
Will Jake have any storylines with characters aside from Clare?
It’s mostly Clare, but there is interaction with Eli through Clare being a mutual friend between us, we start to build our own weird relationship. And the stuff we’re shooting now, Jake starts to become buddies with Drew. I had a couple scenes with Luke [Drew] recently where we were shooting, it takes place in a [Redacted to avoid Spoilers!], so Drew and Jake become buddies over that time and I think that’s kind of in the works.
Sounds very interesting! Read the complete article at TheTVAddict.com!

Comments Off on Degrassi Season 11 Premiere: Pictures!
Monday night, Degrassi fans descended on Much Music HQ for the premiere of season 11. Fans lined up for 7 hours (myself included) to take pictures with the cast, and watch the premiere on the big screen in the parking lot. I have finally uploaded all of my pictures, which you guys can check out right here. As you can see, the cast looked stunning (as always), and it was a great event!
Ashley and I were two of the many fans who showed up at noon, and waited in the hot sun for hours. It’s always fun to meet new people in the line up, but the heat was a major problem this year. It was uncomfortable, and a lot of people were tired after a while. We were close to the front of the line to get pictures with the cast, but after that it was basically a free-for-all and they were just letting anybody wander in.
Throughout the night, the cast went on stage to do Q&A’s as well as Degrassi trivia. I was able to watch all of that right at the front, and it’s where most of these pictures come from. In comparison to last year’s premiere, there is no comparison. This year was bigger, more crowded, and with way more screaming. It’s amazing to see how much the show has grown in such a short amount of time.

Comments Off on Degrassi Season 11 Premiere: Videos!
The first of my Degrassi premiere party coverage — videos!! I was lucky to be up front while the cast was on stage, and caught a few funny moments on tape! Check out AJ and Shannon dancing, and a little Degrassi love from the crowd.
Video #1: AJ busts a move on stage, but he’s not the only one.
Video #2: The cast hangs out on stage, Shannon thanks the fans for coming out, and does a little dance himself.
Video #3: The crowd cheers “WE LOVE DEGRASSI”
Tonight was the night we’ve been waiting for! The premiere of Degrassi Season 11!!
As I type this post, I’m sitting in a hotel room in Toronto. I attended the premiere party at Much Music HQ earlier this evening. It was absolutely insane. There was at least double the number of fans who showed up compared to last year. But I got a lot of really good pictures, and a few videos as well. I wont be uploading pictures and video tomorrow night, because I have to work all day. But trust me — it’s worth the wait. In the meantime, check my updates on Twitter if you haven’t been following me already.
Of course there were a lot of promos that came out from TeenNick tonight. I advise you all to check out ACES, because they have all of them. Including this promo for tomorrow night’s episode “LoveGame.” Can’t wait!!

Comments Off on Much Music Promo: The Kids Are Not Alright
We’re in the final stretch! That’s right Degrassians, we are less than 1 week until the premiere of Degrassi season 11. So it was no surprise when a new promo from Much Music came out earlier today. The promo focuses on Bianca and Drew with brief clips of Fiona, Clare, Jenna, and more. It also features the now popular slogan “The Kids Are Not Alright” (kinda catchy, yes?), and our first look at Zane (finally!).
Are you excited yet?? Let us know what you think of the new promo!

Comments Off on Much Music Announces Season 11 Premiere Party!
We’ve been waiting for this news for a while, and when Stephen Stohn said last week that there would be a special announcement today, many of us were able to guess right. It’s official: Much Music will once again be hosting a premiere party next week in Toronto!!
Based on the description on Much Music’s blog, the premiere party sounds like it will be similar to last year’s event. Like the Degrassi Takes Manhattan premiere, the event will take place in the parking lot outside of Much Music HQ. They will be screening the premiere episode at 9pm, as well as allowing fans to take pictures with the cast. From what we’ve heard on Twitter, the entire cast is expected to be there. Here is the schedule given in the press release:
5 p.m. ET – Much’s flagship show NEW.MUSIC.LIVE. hits the air with a full hour devoted to DEGRASSI, featuring interviews with the cast live in-studio and exclusive sneak peeks of the new season.
7 p.m. ET – The action moves to the parking lot where fans can get their pic taken with members of the cast. These photos will be uploaded to Much’s Facebook page where fans can tag themselves and become the envy of all their friends! Much’s own Lauren Toyota hosts a Q&A session, where fans can interact and learn about their favourite cast members and find out what to expect this season. Fans interested in attending can RSVP here. For fans outside of Toronto, the Q&A session will be available live by visiting MuchMusic.com.
9 p.m. ET – In the DEGRASSI Season 11 premiere, all the students are abuzz about THE Spring Break event – Keke Palmer’s concert. Newly single Sav is depressed post-Holly-J break-up, but a flirtatious encounter with a beautiful stranger perks him up when she tells him to meet her at the show.
For more information on how you can attend (and RSVP), visit MuchMusic.com!
I will of course be there with my massive camera around my neck, taking pictures and video to share with all of you. We will likely do a special Degrassi Talks vlog from Toronto (our first one!) and I’ll have a full report from the event! I can’t wait to see some of you guys at the event – it is sure to be a blast. And for those of you who can’t come, at least there will be a live stream!!

Comments Off on The TV Addict Previews The Season 11 Premiere
The TV Addict has once again leaked new spoilers from season 11. According to a “source,” an unexpected death in the premiere will greatly impact the rest of the summer season (kind of sounds like the Skins series 4 premiere, doesn’t it?). The full TV Addict article can be viewed right here. This is what they had to say about Degrassi:
With the new season of DEGRASSI now less than two weeks away, I’m hoping you can provide some intel on what to expect. Have I mentioned I cannot wait for July 18th? — Hillary
The TV Addict: Think you’re excited for DEGRASSI’s July 18th premiere (9PM on TeenNick and MuchMusic in Canada), well, join the club. In fact, we’re so enthusiastic for the eleventh season of Canada’s most popular export that we decided to cajole our source on the set to share some scoop… and share he (or “she” did!). Not only will the one-hour season premiere feature a VERY (Editor’s Note: Our source actually took it upon themselves to type “very” in all caps) unexpected death, the aftermath will be felt throughout the season. What’s more, continuing the show’s penchant to go where no teen-oriented show has gone before, our source promises that Adam (Jordan Todosey) is going to explore the physical sides of being an FTM transgender teen.

Comments Off on Season 11 Preview: Opening Credits
The season 11 opening credits were released today!! The new sequence features the classic “Whatever It Takes” theme song, this time (unsurprisingly) sung by Alexz Johnson. Everytime Degrassi changes its theme, people seem to have strong opinions about it. Personally I love this version! It definitely makes me excited for new episodes this summer. What do you guys think?
In addition to the new opening credits, HQ promotional stills for season 11 were released today. The credit for these images goes to my favourite person in the entire world – Kary at Degrassi Blog!

Comments Off on Munro Chambers on Eclare: “It’s Complicated”
Munro Chambers spoke with The TV Addict recently on what the fans can expect in season 11. In the interview, Munro gives a few hints as to what will happen with Eli and Clare this season, as well as the differences between himself and Eli. Check out the full interview right here. Here is an excerpt on Eli and Clare’s future:
If Eli were to update his relationship status on Facebook with regards to Clare this season, what would it say?
I’m going to go with “It’s Complicated.”
Will fans be happy with the direction Eli and Clare take this season?
I don’t know! We’ve got some new characters coming this season who get in between… um… people. I don’t know. If you love “Eclare” you’re going to be on a tightrope and won’t know what’s going to happen, but I think it’s going to be interesting.
