Degrassi Little-Known Facts!

This tea isn't scorching hot or super flavorful, and perhaps "little-known" is a debatable description. But after learning exclusive information from going to Degrassi Palooza and its panels, I thought it would be fun to compile what I learned, what y'all have learned, and what I've read, into a little video sharing some Degrassi "tea" AKA fun factoids AKA little known facts about the show! Thanks to everyone who contributed on Instagram. Hope you enjoy!
Also sorry, these listy vids are kinda hard to make them flow right, you know? I don't want to put dividers between every fact but because of that, sometimes it's hard to tell where one thought ends and the next begins! I also wasn't sure like, how DEEP i wanted to dive into the editing. I could have inserted a lot of visual aid in here for almost every fact, but I decided against it. Consequently though, here you are again, just staring at my mug the whole time. Actually both of my mugs.
Thanks to @kickedinthebroomhead on Instagram for my Spike mug!!
Feel free to spill more tea in the comments OR ask a question and I'll try to find the answer!

Alsooooo, last one: Absolutely The Next Gen.cast,both boys and gals (all of them thow, not just the gals u named), wore all their own clothes, did their own hair(althow would get it touched up by hair and makeful to style it early mornings,& get camera-ready), & chose all theor own accessories and makeup looks .With the exception of a slim few(who had def.charcater differences, like Ellie, for example...)...literally only a handful...always chose their own EVERYTHING. They have each one by one said that in interviews and shows over the years, since the beginning, and always make fun a their past style, and laugh their butts off. Hahaha.Althow some of it was quite fetching, & stylish for the time and even after, I personally think!! Lolol😎😱🌺🌞🤔🤣🤣

The fact that many girls had bad hairstyles and they were pick by the actors made me feel bad considering I was blaming the makeup and hair people

[@actuallyNo...]

I love the shirt on u...but the clothes on New class were almost all just HORRIFYINGLY aweful. Some coulda been cute but not how they styled or paired them(most were just aweful thow,as said)... Aaaaand, f.y.i., as if u care(the short is super cute ON YOU, as said), but I detest--probly my worst character--ESMÈ. She is soo damn rude and gross. Eww. On another note, soooo glad they did not cast Paula as Miriam's character Emma...and glad she went back and CHOSE "JANE"...because could unhomestly imagine her bein' Anya or Holly J?!?!?????!!! EWWWW...squared.Lolol.

[@KatieoftheNight]

Leslie Churchwell haha yeah esme is awful but her style is 👌👌👌 and janes actor is so crazy talented, I bet she could have pulled anything off but I love her as Jane!

[@actuallyNo...]

@@KatieoftheNight , lol..agree..on all. Jane was good as Jane...I would t want her as anyone else, but she def. was a good actress(althow when she 1st came on ,I'll admit I didnt like her--probly cause I was bitter at Lake Hurst mostly, who knows(?),lmao). .

[@stephaniekaye6962]

Great job and fact finding! I would love more TNG little known facts too!

[@actuallyNo...]

I love the "Joey Hazing" episode , myself..Ahahahaha.

[@earth2shaylan]

Use their character names 😭😭😭

[@actuallyNo...]

Oh yes...90210 was def.Spelling's attempt at making a similar show for The U.S., but it fell short of what they were expecting it to become, and actually went another way, which actually became so super popular, they decided to keep movin that way with it, until it eventually just went off the rails to NOTHING De Grassi-esque what-so-ever...and was then branded with a whole new genre of "TEEN NIGHTIME SOAP" !!

[@michaeledwards1644]

90210 was nothing like Degrassi.. Laguna Beach was more like it

[@actuallyNo...]

@@michaeledwards1644 Neither one a those shows were like De Grassi.

[@michaeledwards1644]

@@actuallyNo... going off just clips, i didnt watch Degrassi or alot of 90210..i watched all of Laguna Beach

[@actuallyNo...]

Shout out to Noggin Network! [The N!!] --Loved those home Canadian-style "cribs" moments from back then...the did those for The Next Class, as well, but since it was no longer on The N (well, the REAL N!) , after Netflix bought it, they aired them at different times and even switched the later ones to internet - only productions...but all are on-line, and u can see em for free if ya want.[if u havent already!!♡☆♡]

[@dantheman8103]

Most people named Toby it is actually an alternate form of Tobias. Sort of like how Dan is short for Daniel, Greg is short for Gregory etc.

[@TechnicolourFlamingo]

I think the thing I noticed about Degrassi. The characters Dallas and Adam both worked together when they were younger on Disney's the Pacifer. I also remember meeting a few of the cast members when I was at Sick Kids one year.

[@alsmyth5251]

I love Degrassi behind the scenes :) more please!

[@belowthedot8903]

That Spike mug is top tier

[@crimsondeathwish3408]

Your so fucking pretty

[@SonicJon123]

Real

[@arsenal1787]

I’m curious to know your favorite episodes of degrassi junior high and the original degrassi high?

[@KatieoftheNight]

Arsenal 17 off the top of my head I will have to say “it creeps” and “everybody wants something” (The one where Lucy films the zits video). I really like those because it’s just, the kids having a good time!

[@arsenal1787]

Katie of the Night: Everybody wants something is my all time favorite. I also like anything with the twins. Although I think most boys had a crush on kaitlyn, I also had a thing for them as well. I grew up just outside of DC and always had a fascination for Degrassi. I had forgotten about it for some time, but lately my interest has been renewed. I truly don’t understand why their isn’t an effort to make a show like this today. I like watching your videos because often the thoughts you share are similar to ones I’ve had watching the series. I thought I was a fan, you may have me beat though:)

[@raymondholiday8060]

...are you desgrassinocontext

[@KatieoftheNight]

No, I’m not!
