The friendship between Jane Vaughn and Manny Santos formed off-screen in the ninth season of Degrassi: The Next Generation.
Friendship History[]
Overview[]
Jane and Manny became friends through Facebook because they had a lot of mutual friends and comment stalkers blocked. Jay Hogart once even joked around with Manny and Jane telling them that they are lovey-dovey and that they should kiss. However, even though they were friends, at Emma Nelson and Spinner Mason's wedding, Manny attacked Jane without a thought when she walked in on Jane kissing Spinner goodbye. They got into a fist fight and Spinner had to pull the two apart, which shows that while she may be friends with Jane, Manny's friendship with Emma means more to her.
Season 7[]
In Standing In The Dark (1), Jane and Manny meet for the first time at lunch. At the ski resort, Jane tells Manny and Darcy Edwards about the party that is happening that night.
In Standing In The Dark (2), Jane approached Darcy and Manny, and told them that there had been a roofie rapist up at the ski lodge when they were there.

Jay starts to joke around with Manny and Jane telling them that they are lovey-dovey and that they should kiss. Manny lightly taps Jay on the head, like a love tap.
In Degrassi Takes Manhattan, at Spinner and Emma's wedding, Manny is prepping and getting ready, and she goes to say some words to Spinner, and sees Jane kissing him goodbye and thinks more of it. She then gets into an all out fist fight with Jane. Manny pins Jane up to the wall and Jane punches Manny. As they continue to fight, Jane tries to tackle Manny, but Manny flips Jane over and hops on top of her. Manny chokes and punches Jane in the face multiple times. Spinner is surprised, and helps Jane by picking up Manny and holding her back. When Jane stands up, he tells her that Jane is just there to say goodbye.
