Don was a man who worked as either a manager or an assistant manager at a local diner in Degrassi in the late 1980s called Franks Delicious Varieties. He was resentful of the punk hairstyles and fashions of the 1980s.

Don

Don was either the manager or assistant manager of Frank's Delicious Varieties or someone who had bought the diner but didn't change the name to his own yet.

He only appears in the episode Black & White, when he first gives Spike a job interview that evening over the phone the next day at 4:00pm. The next day when Spike shows up to speak with him for the job interview, he is seen talking to what either could be a friend or his best customer. When Don sees her he looks at her with disgust, and almost immediately begins to make cracks about her hair, telling his associate that if he hired her, he wouldn't have to pay for scrub brushes, and asking her if she stuck her finger in a light socket. When Spike reiterates that she is there for the job and not her hair, he claims that she is late (despite it not being late), and that people who show up late don't get hired. When Spike pleads with him to give another chance, he simply tells her with a grin, "Have a nice day.". She leaves, and the two men laugh, as he quips about punks.

Outside, Liz O'Rourke, who was waiting for Spike, gets angry at what Don did and threatens to throw a brick through the window that night, but Spike convinces her not to, claiming that's what he would expect them to do. Following this, Don is never seen again, and it is unknown whether any act of revenge was committed from Liz's behalf anyway after the fact.

Don was portrayed by Renato Rizzuti
