I always feel so bad for wheels grandma. She loses her daughter , and then has to become a parent of a teenaged boy who doesn't help at all or even make it somewhat easy on her. She tries so hard to do right by him, and he couldn't care less.

[@Regiscountrystar]

Mike really surprised me in this episode. Because in earlier seasons he acted like he wanted wheels in his life, and now it seems like he doesn’t want anything to do with him can’t even stand the sight of him it seems like.

[@armin88213]

Degrassi 101: He probably didn’t have a pregnant gf in his life

[@Regiscountrystar]

Armin Even if he didn’t he still shouldn’t act like that he doesn’t want his son in his life pregnant girlfriend or not that’s still his kid in a way. You can’t be one way with wanting to see your adopted child and then not wanting anything to do with him from the time you see him again. If that was the case then he should’ve been straightforward with them and told him that he can’t stay there instead of telling him that he could stay there for the day. You can tell he doesn’t want him there

[@courtneym6229]

The scene with Wheels in the parking lot sayin "nobody cares about me" and the grandma bein all upset made me cry... Also, I'm really surprised they didn't have Spike in this episode given what happened to Shane

[@chloekrier299]

Wheels grandma is so sweet it breaks my heart how wheels is worrying her so much

[@LittleLulubee]

She was gonna put him in a group home, though. That’s not sweet.

[@LittleLulubee]

Pink- Trying to control Wheels is what's draining her energy. She should just back off, and let him be himself and make his own mistakes. If he flunks and has to take the grade over, then so be it. If he won't wash dishes, he can use his own money to buy paper plates for himself. If she doesn't want to cook for him, let him get a job and buy his own food. He doesn't need to be treated like an incompetent child.

[@laminage]

She tried to help him but he wouldn't take it. Also, Wheels doesn't realize that she's hurting too. No Parent wants to live with the fact that they outlived their own Child.

[@t.j.7789]

I agree. I don't know if in this episode she's crying at her daughter's grave telling Wheels how she misses her too! Just so tragic!!

[@geourgiou]

wheels was even worse to her grand mother in degrassi high

[@laminage]

Mike was some cheap. He asks Wheels if he wants some Breakfast and just gives him "Coffee".

[@hyperbabe2009]

laminage I agree his 15 year old son just lost both his adoptive parents that’s no way to treat him

[@laminage]

hyperbabe2009 Glad you agree

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Mike probably on drugs so had no appetite

[@laminage]

Mike should have said. "Your place is at School, with your Grandparents and to get an Education and hopefully go to University, do all of the things I didn't think was important but I'd give anything to do, my life isn't glamorous living outside a Suitcase not having a Real Home." It would have been awful if Josh had said about Wheels Bass Playing and say " Oh a Regular James Jamerson Motown Funk Brother and The Greatest Bass Player Of All Time.

[@Regiscountrystar]

laminage he acted like he didn’t want him there. However in the seasons before he was so excited to see him again when derek is like what 13?

[@laminage]

Mike is ridiculous. He didn't even reprimand Wheels for Hitchhiking. He could have said "Do you know how dangerous that is, you could have gotten abused, raped, or even killed."

[@brandiferx3]

It was the 80s, people didn't worry about that kind of stuff back then.

[@lacymfnjoseph8118]

Maggie needs to mind her own business...

[@aliyahnorman761]

I hope Mike's baby mom gets a taste of her own medicine

[@foreversimgirl828]

Aliyah Norman same. She's s so mean but she has a point.

[@tulips3243]

The grandma is JUST like Spike, the voice and how she acts...should be Spike's grandma.

im just starting to relise that

[@swag4609]

😱

[@Roo__]

I was thinking that myself!

[@khasualentertainment6734]

Well most the characters real family member would act on the show

[@moqueen99]

I relate heavily to Wheels when he seen Maggie and she was pregnant. That's like a whole slap in the face.

[@laminage]

Monet Maples Still an excellent Video

[@laminage]

It kind of reminds me of Garden Of Shadows (The Prequel To Flowers In The Attic) and how upset Malcolm got when his 55 Year Old Father Garland had a Baby with his 19 Year Old Wife Alicia named Garland Christopher Foxworth the Fourth because this child had their Father's attention and he didn't growing up.

[@skinni_the_P00hBear]

@@laminage I need to finish reading that series. I've watched all the Lifetime films but only read 'Flowers in the Attic'.

[@rooneydoodle4055]

When Wheels said he wants his parents back, it really hit hard. I want my brother and grandpa back

[@cecedean6272]

Joey is such a sweetheart

[@hyperbabe2009]

I felt so bad for Wheels in these two episodes

[@geourgiou]

it was the start of wheels going into meltdown

[@pgroadhouse6894]

I watched this as a kid when it first aired. Watching it again now, everything about Wheels’ experience at that hotel in Port Hope seems just as desolate and depressing. But I now appreciate more what the grandmother did. She really came through for him in her own “of-a-completely-different-generation” way.

[@TheElektra]

I wish Wheels would have learned a lesson after his parents died. He was treating them so disrespectfully before they were killed and now he’s treating his grandparents the same way, maybe worse. I realize that’s easier said then done but jeez his grandparents lost their children that day. Cut them some slack. Awesome episode though!

[@LittleLulubee]

Yet they want to send him to a group home

[@meghanobrien3045]

I can never tell if the parents just have terrible dialogue or if they are just terrible actors

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Sometimes the directors will have extraneous cast dumb down their acting on purpose to ensure they dont outshine the kid actors.

[@QuintrellDemary]

Joey is such a good friend I wish I had one

[@peterjuff]

"You selfish, selfish little boy!!"

[@laminage]

The Actor who played Mike also played Griff's Big Brother Duke On The Kids Of Degrassi Street. As many of you know Neil Hope played Griff.

[@eyesofcoral]

I could have sworn when I was younger and this was on TV, they actually showed the scene of Shane jumping off the bridge because he was so high. It may have been in the previous episode...

[@beckywarren997]

Wheels shouldn't leave his grandparents alone.That breaks my heart.😥💔

[@billhiggins2003]

The father should have just stayed away.

[@frenchieseverine4514]

Yes and he is a liar and an immature man.Wheels is young and at 15 he needs a father especially since his parents died.He believes that his father will love him at last after the postcard.Mike should never have sent him a card and let him know he was around.I can relate to this situation too because i saw my biological father at 14 and spent 3 weeks with him and his companion but he never looked after me and my sister and let us with a woman we didn't know and later we found out that she wouldn't have liked to share her holidays with 2 girls who were the daughters of her man.She actually was jealous of my mother and when my father died she did everything to deprive us of our rights and this broke my heart so much that i had a nervous breakdown.She told awful things about me and my mother saying she was a whore and i was only interested in my father's money which is false.So i think that sometimes the father should stay away and LET HIS KIDS ALONE.Plus my father wanted to see us before his death but he blamed me not to love him..He never told he was sorry for being absent for 30 years..

[@laminage]

Yes. Sometimes you say something in "Jest" and someone takes it seriously. For example, on a whim, you might say to someone "Let's Have Brunch", then they call you on it.

[@CookieDMonster]

[@baylez4533]

So the moral of this story kids is the grass is not greener on the other side! #lesson

[@laminage]

The Manager made a "Mistake". He should have called "Mike's Room" and said "You have a visitor, a Young Man who says that he's your Son." Then Mike could have come downstairs and the two talk.

[@laminage]

Maggie was right when she told Mike not to go after "Derek". He gave up his rights, he can't give him a proper home life playing in dives, living out of a suitcase, etc. I would have loved to have been an Episode where he "meets" his Mother Cindy.

[@laylah7806]

why’d they all have soft monotone voices in the 80’s

[@katiefedele1813]

A friend like joey is hard to find.

[@laminage]

Luke is very narccisistic. He doesn't take responsibility for what he did to Shane. After all it wasn't his fault that Shane "Lent" him Money, he could have said "No!", he didn't have to take the Acid, even though Luke reassured him he'd be all right, and it wasn't his fault that he lied to Spike about the Child Support Payments. They are very dangerous folks to be around.

[@HH-yi9jb]

Might have started tearing up....

[@natalieschannel7675]

Emma had to grow up without Shane in her life because of Luke.

[@NicoleAllwood]

Natalie's Channel well Shane chose to take the acid

[@shimmershine6902]

I bet Spike still wouldn’t let Shane into Emma’s life even if he WASN’T disabled.

[@thewhisperingeye.]

Shimmer Shine spike was a kid, she would’ve came around and also if Shane didn’t take the drugs he could’ve just taken her to court for visitation. Nice try, throwing spike into Shane’s mistake though.

[@shimmershine6902]

Kunai Senpai LOL you’re acting like I’m hating on Spike. She’s actually one of my favourite characters. Spike was just very indecisive about whether or not she wanted Shane in her and Emma’s life. She always complained to him about needing to take care of the baby, yet almost always rejected Shane whenever he tried to help out. (Like with the Christmas episode, she allowed him to hold Emma). So you tell me, how was I trying to throw Spike under the bus for what Shane did? Did I say it was Spike’s fault. Oh. Nice trying to antagonize me though. :)

[@laminage]

It's ironic. Mike gave up his Parental rights and Wheels comes back into his life. On The Soap Opera Guiding Light Harley Cooper & Dylan Lewis give up their rights to their daughter, her Adoptive Parents die and she can be part of their lives again. Thank God they were able to take her back, she could have fallen between the cracks in The Foster Care System.

[@laminage]

Isn't it eerie how the Actor who played Mike, played Duke Griff's Brother on The Kids Of Degrassi Street. On US Soaps Vincent Irizarry and Marj Dusay played Mother/Son twice. First as Nick Mchenry Spaulding and Alexandra Spaulding on Guiding Light then as Dr. David Hayward/Vanessa Cortlandt on All My Children and they both had challenging relationships with one another.

vanillahybrid unfortunately the music and aesthetic would have been seen as outdated, cheesy and “too 80s” for the new version.

[@amberbee4536]

Recap is over at 1:25 :)

[@juannamcio1076]

Wheels looks just like the canadian actor Michael Seater who plays on Life with Derek and Blake Holsey High. I mean the resemblance is just too uncanny being the fact that Wheels first name is Derek. :D

[@alibhg3063]

I don't think they look alike at all. I think Wheels looks a lot like the actor Michael Yarmush more.

[@skinni_the_P00hBear]

@@alibhg3063 Yeah they don't resemble each other at all....

[@laminage]

I wished Wheels Sibling became a Teacher at Degrassi or Mike found out about Wheels being in Prison. Maggie meant well but she should of shut her mouth up. I think she was angry that Mike had a Woman in his life before her. Also I'm surprised that the Group was named Mike & The Drifters since there was a R & B Group of the same name. Do you know people get sued for using a Group Name that isn't theirs.

[@foreversimgirl828]

laminage ohhh the drifters as in the song under the boardwalk

[@laminage]

Yes. Did you know that in the US, a lot of Groups perform saying that they are the "Real" Group but they are not. In fact in the 1990's there were a group of ladies who said they were the Shangri-Las but they weren't.

[@foreversimgirl828]

laminage I didn't know that but I'm not suprised that happens. lol 😂 sad they can't be themselves.

[@laminage]

Yes but there's nothing they can do because most of them don't even "Own" The Group's Name. Motown was notorious for that. The Supremes (Sans Diana Ross) The Miracles, The Temptations found that out the hard way. Even when The Jackson Five left Motown in 1975 they were told that they couldn't use the name because their 1968 Contract stipulated that if they went "Left" Motown, they gave up their rights to The Group's Name.

[@foreversimgirl828]

laminage ah isn't that why they had to become the jacksons ? I love allll those groups names you listed. Good to see someone other than me listen to the oldies

[@JoeyArmstrong2800]

Does anybody know the name of yhe singer of the theme song and what happened to her? Shes not credited anywhere. I have always wondered since 1987

[@JarethTheGoblinKingForever]

The theme song was sung by Wendy Watson. She also performed and composed other soundtracks used throughout the show such as the song "We Can Start Again", which was used in many scenes featuring school dances. These song were never credited but Wendy Watson's name is still in the credits of each episode. I don't know where she is now or if she still performs.

[@LittleLulubee]

She has such an 80’s pop voice

[@themonk2288]

Shane, IF YOU NEVER DID THE RIGHT THING, OR TRIED TO SEE EMMA, YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A BEEN SAVED!!!AND KEPT AROUND!!!! but the world was not ready for a responsible teen father for which there was many

[@needles1987]

Shane did try to see Emma but his parents wouldn't let him.

[@laminage]

Yes, and keep in mind that in the Old School Book about Shane's Character, Reverend McKay almost lost his Job with The Church when he announced Shane getting Spike pregnant. I'm sure that Reverend McKay may have resented Shane for that. Also wouldn't it be awful if it were discovered that Reverend McKay was blackmailed into getting Spike out of Degrassi where a Parishoner threatened to stop giving Money to The Church.

[@moqueen99]

I never really liked Shane, and no he didn't deserve to get severely injured. But, it was kind of karma for wanting to go to a concert rather than pay child support and make Spike feel like shit once again

[@studygel3608]

Monet Maples ya! I mean spi,e deserves the child support money i mean he gets to do anything she doesnt!

[@kima_95]

That wasn't actual child support, its better to keep that in mind. He was giving her half of his full allowance, out of his own will over a long period of time. No made him and he wasn't legal obligated to, so its unfair to say he was bad for not paying child support ONE time after he'd bee paying her for a fairly long amount of time. Granted it sucked he lied about the reason he couldn't give her the money, but at the end of the day he doesn't have to. Just that one time he wanted to have some time for him, which of course he usually does since Spike doesn't give him the proper opportunity to be a parent, but still. Everyone needs a break in life, which I think he had earned by choosing to take financial responsibility every time when he isn't even allowed to see or interact with his child. If anything Spike should have been thankful he wanted to, since there are a lot of deadbeat fathers in the world. And I think you shouldn't praise Spike's character too much in this situation. He's got his faults in this, but he's been treated very unfairly too and verbally harnessed or belittled when he tries to do right by his child instead of choosing to be a selfish person. Which would have been very easy for him since his parents are always trying to send him away and no one actually holds him accountable but instead they just expect it and chose not to praise him for not breaking his promise to be responsible father figure. I don't even like that guy all that much, but its really unfair to pick and take a side without considering his efforts. Anyway, sorry for the long message. I just care a lot about this storyline because I actually do have a deadbeat father.

[@moqueen99]

K I totally understand where you're coming from and yes Spike has to take responsibility somewhere in all of this. But I still feel like he could have handled that in a completely different way. Actually he could have handled the whole entire situation differently. They both can. They're both held accountable. I feel like their main issue is communication. Spike doesn't believe that he truly cares and wants to help. Even though he does, but he's just a kid so he makes selfish decisions sometimes and I get why she'd be angry with that because she has to grow up and she has to take care of the baby while he has a choice in all of this while she doesn't. If their communication was better I feel like things would be different. But then again I have to think about the reason their communication is nasty in the first place because of outside forces like his parents

[@kima_95]

Well, she does have a choice in a way. She could have gave Emma up for adoption, but this was the life she chose. Still, I get what you mean. No matter if she kept her or gave her away, she still gets the short end of the stick since people are likely to treat her more as an adult or in a rough manner since she got pregnant when in reality she's still just a kid like him. I do agree with the communication part, that's always the problems in these shows but its forced anyway so usually I try not to get emotional. But then again, like I said I was born and raised from a similar situation so I took it personal. I'm glad you relied and I had the chance to read your thoughts, they show me that you understand the characters which I was worried people didn't. Sorry again if I sounded a little defensive, I'm not saying you were wrong in any way. I just think people should have some perspective, which you do I now know. :)

[@moqueen99]

K yeah. I went through a similar thing with my dad. So I completely understand.
