My favorite Degrassi characters are not always the best people, but their arcs, storylines, and friendships really stood out to me. I have identified or looked up to these characters in different ways. Here they are:
- Eli- great boyfriend (don't talk to me about 13B and 14A) and King of the LGBTs. I love emo boy so much.
- Clare- looked up to her knack for standing up for what's right and being a good friend and girlfriend (besides maybe 12A... but that was trauma related). Plus her relationship with Eli is adorable.
- Ellie- She deserved SO MUCH BETTER and more luck with love. She was an amazing friend and will always hold a special place in my heart.
- Liberty- ALSO DESERVED BETTER. Queen really went through it and lost JT at a terrible time in her life. She deserved a better university and to leave Emma and Manny behind... though Manny was nice to her. And she DEFINITELY deserved better clothing. Red dress for prom and green dress for her birthday were STUNNING but her storyline those episodes DAMAGED ME for different reasons.
- J.T.- MY POOR BABY BOY. He loved kids and I am so sad I didn't get to see him as a dad or interact with the baby like K.C. did with Tyson... J.T. would have been much better. But they made the better choice than Jenna and K.C. He loved his oatmeal. And that one mini (or three) DESTROYED MEEEE.
- Jane- My badass feminist bitch deserved so much better than her Declan storyline. We got lost without a Spane endgame/no Spemma build up. I'm happy Jane is being a powerful single lady but I wish we could see she went off to better things.
- Holly J- She really had a personality glow up didn't she? She was such an amazing friend to Fiona and one of the most level-headed and determined characters by the end of her time at Degrassi... SAVVY J RIGHTS!!!!
Other characters I enjoyed with the above characters or with each other, but maybe not enough on their own are: Manny, Jay, Sav, Imogen, Fiona, Spinner, Jake, Alex, Paige, Craig, and Marco.
