A press release about Degrassi’s upcoming transgender storyline has just been released! It features from great quotes from Jordan Todosey (who plays Adam) and Stefan Brogren, and also says that Adam’s storyline will come to a head on Aug. 11th and 12th. This storyline sounds amazing and I think we’re all really excited about it! Here’s what Jordan had to say:
Todosey says she expects the heavy topic to resonate with kids, even though it’s a rarely discussed issue that even adults have trouble understanding.
“It’s well-written. I feel like it really does speak to kids and I think it’s a great role to really open up, show people what transgenders are like,” she says, describing her character as someone who “was born physically as a girl but between the ears, he feels like he’s a guy.”
“It lets the audience walk a mile in the character’s shoes and that’s really good.”
