You asked for it, theTVaddict delivered! (Yes, frankly I’m as surprised as anyone). But that said, theTVaddict.com will be interviewing DEGRASSI’S RYAN COOLEY this evening at 4PM (eastern standard time). So post away with all your JT Yorke/Ryan Cooley questions and I’ll do my absolute best to get them answered for you.
[Update] theTVaddict just finished his interview with Ryan Cooley. Check back early next week, either Tuesday or Wednesday for the completed interview! Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to write a question!
[SPOILER ALERT!] So it finally happened. After months of speculation and rumours floating around the net, DEGRASSI finally lost one if its own — JT Yorke, you’ll be sadly missed. While I wasn’t surprised as to who died (thanks to CTV for pretty much giving it away in their promo last week), it was quite shocking as to how JT died. His stabbing was quick, random and didn’t seem to have much purpose — except to say violence is bad (well duh). I find it hard to believe, that even under the influence, some young punk from Lakeview (or was it Lakehead) would randomly stab JT for no apparent reason.That said, the episode was well done overall and provided for some fun DEGRASSI watching. In keeping with this theme of randomness, a few random comments if I may:Why were Ellie and Marco at a high school party? When University students hang out at their old high school it’s not cool, just sad.Why was everybody so emotional at the funeral? If I recall, outside of Tobes, sorry Toby, JT didn’t have that many friends.The award for bad acting theatre goes to Toby. Did you notice that whenever Toby was about to cry, the camera cut away. Someone needs a few more classes at the Armstrong Acting Studio.Why does anyone listen to Manny’s advice? Isn’t this the girl who in recent years has stolen Craig, had an abortion, ended up on Peter’s video camera topless, well you get the idea…Finally, as we’ve learned from FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, it’s never cool to hook up with your best friend’s girlfriend — even if your best friend is dead. Shame on you Toby.
Right off the bat, Jamie Johnston wants DEGRASSI fans to know a few things: He’s not, as many viewers wrongly assume, dating on-screen love interest Miriam McDonald (Emma), nor is he anything like his on-screen persona, Peter Stone.
“Playing Peter has been great for me as an actor, because he’s so different from any other character I’ve played,” says Johnston. “If people don’t like him, then I’m doing my job.” The talented young actor need have no fear in that department: Since first strolling down Degrassi’s hallways last season, Peter has quickly earned the rep as the guy we love to hate.
Of course, while Peter gets to have all the so-called fun, his portrayer sometimes has to face the consequences. “I once had a fan shout at me, ‘You’re a scum bag!’” he shares, adding with a smile, “I’m pretty sure she meant Peter…” Most of the time, however, encounters are a tad less interactive. “Yes, I get strange looks on the subway sometimes, but that may have nothing to do with them recognizing me,” the modest young man says. “I once had a fan ask me to sign a pair of my boxers,” he then admits before offering assurances that he declined the request.
SMITH is officially the first show to be cancelled. The Ray Liotta heist drama will be replaced temporarily by reruns of CRIMINAL MINDS and CSI. I love Ray Liotta and was hoping to get into the show, I just didn’t have time to fit it into my schedule yet. I guess I can delete the three episodes of SMITH that I have saved on my PVR.
The more I think about it, the more I loved LOST’S third season premiere. Henry Gale (aka Ben) is the best television villain since Arvin Sloane in his heyday (ALIAS season 1 & 2).
Kudos to NBC for giving the writers of KIDNAPPED enough time to write a proper ending to what is now a 13 episode series. Thanks for actually respecting the fans and not pulling a ‘REUNION’ on us.
30 ROCK premieres this Wednesday on NBC. Having seen the pilot, I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed by a series premiere. I’ve loved Tina Fey’s work on SNL and MEAN GIRLS. Note to Fey: This isn’t Saturday Night Live, it’s a comedy series: You’re expected to be funny.
How is it that the sixth season of DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION premieres in the United Stated before it does in Canada? DEGRASSI is Canada’s most popular export. How on earth do our friends to the south get to see if first? Once again CTV, wake up and respect your audience.
In anticipation of DEGRASSI’S return to the airwaves for a sixth season (Fridays at 9PM on the N, starting September 29), the TV addict will be interviewing two of the show’s biggest stars. So if you’ve got any questions for JAMIE JOHNSTON (Peter) and LAUREN COLLINS (Paige), please post below or email theTVaddict at info@thetvaddict.com.
the TV addict recently bumped into a star of DEGRASSI TNG on the streets of Toronto (there’s one good reason about living in Canada eh!). That said, I was lucky enough to pick up some scoop about the upcoming sixth season. Highlight the white text below to discover what will happen to one of your favourite students.
One of our favourite Degrassi students will be stabbed this season by a student from a rival school.
Well, I am officially all caught up on 5 seasons of Degrassi: The Next Generation and I could not be happier. What started as an evening of watching the show because I was trying to stay awake one night while babysitting, has quickly turned into an addiction that I didn’t know I would experience for a little show like this!
After having seen the season finale of Season 5, and having turned my roommate into a D:TNG addict in the process, I am so excited for the premiere of Season 6, and I want to reflect on 10 things that keep me coming back to this charming little show -
Degrassi has changed their opening just in time for the start of the sixth season. Personally, I like the original opening, but judge for yourself. Stay tuned to theTVaddict.com for interviews with your favourite DEGRASSI actors prior to the start of the season.
