Degrassi: School's In will be back to discuss Nothing To Fear next month, but in the meantime, enjoy this fun recap episode! 🥰🎧

Eevee Pacini and Degrassi Kid sat down together (IN REAL LIFE)! On May 7th, they recorded an exclusive episode at a studio space in Degrassi Kid's hometown recap their most recent Toronto adventures! The discussion includes...


The tea on the LIVE DEGRASSI TRIVIA NIGHT hosted by Degrassi Kid in Toronto. Which was filmed for the upcoming Degrassi documentary made by Peacock Alley Entertainment! 📹🤩


Not one, but TWO new and crazy Degrassi actor stories (you guys saw the IG posts and TikToks, right?!?!?) 👀🤳


Tons of fun little stories from both Toronto AND Eevee's time in PEI 🫶✈️


and so much more! 💙

(sidenote: we also visited Centennial College (the filming location for Degrassi High) with our amazing friends Gina & Chris on day 2! Somehow, we forgot to mention it in the pod, but it was such a fun time!)

This month I am so honored to have Pat Beaven AKA Stephanie Kaye's mom) on Degrassi: School's In! We had so much fun chatting and she answered all of my and my listeners' questions, including but not limited to...
- How much of the Degrassi series has she seen?
- When was the last time she watched Best Laid Plans?
- Where does she think Ms. Kaye, Arthur and Stephanie are now?
- What does she love about... Lola Pacini?!?

Yes, you read that right! Stephanie Kaye's mom and I gush about Lola Pacini... something that could only happen on Degrassi School's In!

"Best Laid Plans" - Episode description:

Thirteen-year-old Arthur plans to show his friends a pornographic video when his mother goes out on Friday night. Meanwhile, older sister Stephanie makes plans to sleep with Wheels that same night. Their mother catches on to their plans just in time.

Thank you to Andrew, Dave Wilson, Degrassi CSI, Degrassi Kid, Emily, SierraLucey05 and William Harrison for submitting questions for this episode!

What if Stephanie never asked Wheels on a date?!

...That's not just a hypothetical question! We have the real answer!In 1986, Degrassi began planning their brand new series "Degrassi Junior High."  They dreamed up their main characters, their dramatic storylines and asked themselves "what if Stephanie went on a date with... Joey?"Through the next year, they worked on Degrassi, reworking and rewriting the episodes, until we got the show we love today! But, what was Degrassi supposed to be like? What were on those original planning documents from 1986?Together, Eevee Pacini and Degrassi Kid went through the Degrassi archives to find out and now we're going to share them with you!

How would the episode "Rumor Has It" change if Caitlin Ryan weren't the main character?


...That's not just a hypothetical question! We have a real answer, straight from the official Degrassi Junior High planning documents from April of 1986 (almost an entire year before this episode aired!), which Eevee and Degrassi Kid were able to access during their recent trip to the Degrassi Archives at the University of Toronto -- and we're going to share it all with you!


After reviewing the planning documents, we discussed the episode "Rumor Has It", which aired on February 22, 1987!



Episode description:


Many of Ms. Avery's students think that she is a lesbian. Caitlin insists that her teacher isn't gay. After dreaming that her classmates think that she is also gay, Caitlin begins to feel self-conscious at school.

Thank you so much for listening! Feedback and sharing this with friends and fellow Degrassi fans are both much appreciated!

Do you remember the first episode you ever watched of Degrassi? This episode I sat down with Shane Worrell, a lifelong Degrassi superfan from Australia and active member of the Degrassi Kid community. We chatted about “The Cover Up” and related on watching & getting attached to Degrassi at an early age, gushed over our favorite people behind the scenes of the show, psycho-analyzed Joey Jeremiah a bit, and overall just had a lovely time & conversation! Hope you all enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed working on it and sharing it with you all! Thank you so much for listening, and you’ll hear me soon for “The Great Race”! 🎧❤️
