Degrassi: Riley Gets Real

TeenNick's promo for the ninth season of Degrassi featuring Riley Stavros (Argiris Karras)

[@pushinupdaisies85]

"hot girls, im especially attracted to them..." I LOL'd

[@harmoniaSINGS]

omg i HAD to yell at the tv whenever he said homosexuality was like a "disease" and he thought he found a "cure". it was soo frustrating. agiris played riley well.

[@AtomicSpike]

I know how you feel. It was starting to get frustrating. But at the same time it made for an interesting storyline. He made a nice contrast to Marco. Showing that not all gay kids handle their sexuality the same. Some struggle more than others. Hopefully now that he's finally accepted himself, he can move on and explore same-sex relationships.

[@xxblodlustxx]

But it makes it so much more real when he's hiding in the closet. This is what a lot of young gay guys go through. It sucks and it's a little depressing... But it is reality.

[@SpinDoctor91]

i like Riley,you can tell he has a good heart deep down he is just too worried about what others think but that has changed slightly i must say.

[@AtomicSpike]

Yeah, I saw that. Interesting way of describing himself.

[@Vcw422]

It's ok Riley just because you have changed doesn't mean you gotta hold it in

[@kmxx244944]

"Are you gay in real life?" I am indeed very happy. But no one really knows my sexuality. It's a secret. Wouldn't be much of a secret if I told you! muahaha.

[@Sorakeyblademaster37]

@g3noo Uh, since Riley's trying to put on an act it's pretty obviously intentional that he was "acting badly."

[@travis7310]

Peter is gay now? He was still with Mia in the first episode of season 9 and then that girl Victoria but he broke up with her the next day because she lied to him about being done with meth and he didn't want to deal with that again.

[@fearfactor22]

Yeah mainstream society seems to be much less accepting of male gays than female lesbians. It has gotten better over the past few years but still needs much improvement. I mean it should be equal acceptance for everybody, but as long as human beings are alive there are always gonna be those that discriminate against others that are different.

[@rainbowmuppet]

I can't watch Riley Problems episodes without yelling at the TV... "YOU'RE GAY, RILEY! YOU! ARE! GAY! NOW GO FIND A BOYFRIEND AND GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE!" So frustrating...finding the "right girl" cannot change your sexuality. And a "disease"?! GIVE ME A BREAK! GAH!

[@urmom9356]

These are so awkward

[@Eminem4851]

@luvpurple95 the actually definition of asexual on dictionay . com is having no sex or you dont have sex organs. meaning he wasnt interested. not like he doesnt actually not have them but, yeah

[@Eminem4851]

ok, im from us. the last one that premiered was the one where kc turned in the coach (heart like mine pt 2). i am looking for spoilers. anyone who has them, please tell. make sure to reply to this comment.

[@58coolcat1]

ikr hes always trying to prove that he is not gay and that hes straight all the episodes that hes in hes always screaming at the tv and has to do with his gayness.!!!

[@rainbowmuppet]

Yeah! Except Peter's not gay...maybe he'll have a horrid, completely atrocious breakup with some girl and then become gay from the trauma!!!!!! heh...heh...

[@hellgirl013]

@rainbowmuppet I'm happy now in the later episodes that he finally has a boyfriend kinda :P in the episode In your eyes I was squealing with delight xD

[@rainbowmuppet]

@howYAlikeMEnow2009 Gaaaaah don't get your panties in a wad...I'm just saying it's hard to watch people try to be something they aren't. That is all.

[@iKorie]

I love seeing comments from months ago. Cuz when the predictions or assumptions were wrong I'm all like, HA! you were wrong! i know im lame :p

[@naruto99haters]

as much as i hate 2 say it i want riley 2 be gay but this is a perfect oppurtunity for riley 2 become the first bisexual boy on degrassi

[@amollo01]

@g3noo I think that since Riley is a closeted Gay character, his unconvincing declaration of attraction to women was intentional

[@imtherielest]

I'm not exactly sure why everyone is downing my comment, I like Riley he's great, I just didn't like watching that happen, thats all. I have NOTHING against homosexuality.

[@caraangelinaxo]

Riley busted himself

[@prescott0913]

[@FanofJordanTodosey]

[@scamper11queen]

@animeartist80 lol yeah

[@aydawnn]

LOLOL HAHAH/

[@ilovzpandaz]

Cool!

[@IwantYourEverything]

AMEN!

[@AtomicSpike]

Argiris was trying to say that he has no interest in men or women at the moment. He wrote that he's focusing on work instead.

[@Eminem4851]

some people are like that. they need to bring out as many things that happen to teens as they can

[@KeiranNight]

At least he excepts that he's gay later on. Zane and Him make such a cute couple :)

[@IWantLumpia]

So glad Riley seems to be openly dating Zane now. Zane is a total hottie and they make an awesome couple.

[@1degrassifan1]

@helloworld756 I know, Riley is awesome, I was just saying that.

[@demarcomixon]

the money he gets from acting needs to be invested in his grill

[@Sorakeyblademaster37]

@DonnaBee4life More like he's too good for Zane. Zane was super demanding and was never there for Riley.

[@starheartskull15]

"i can be straight...uh...i mean...i am straight" haha

[@coolstuff5673]

I can be straight... I I mean, I am straight.

[@rainbowmuppet]

NO WAY! He is?! SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@evansdance17]

EPIC FAIL!! i can be attracted to girls lol

[@KillerWhaleCupcake]

@IWantLumpia I know! Zane is so gorgeous :)

[@Sorakeyblademaster37]

@shinyboots7 Riley was a good person.

[@demarcomixon]

HAHAHAH yes diffinitly

[@IwantYourEverything]

HOLY MOLEY ARGIRIS!!!!!!

[@MegaRedcookie]

I loveeee riley. so awesome :)

[@FireNinjaPrincess]

EPIC FAIL

[@Kelsie154]

it's hard to believe that he was on Look-a-like for Justin Timberlake a few years back.... because he looks nothing like him. lol I like him on Degrassi though. :)

[@missyloves5430]

says you

[@ThankYouPain09]

aw... he's so cute! he looks somewhat like Edward Cullen.
